Great Idea!
I'm an avid DIY'er. My biggest project was to design and build my own house here in NY. Here it is;
The Villages Florida

My second biggest project was to move a two story old carriage house 30 ft to a new foundation. Experts told me I couldn't do it, but it was great to prove them wrong.

I love every aspect of remodeling. I've taught my wife to sweat copper, do electrical, finish drywall, etc. I got home once and found she knocked out a wall, just to see how the room would look bigger! I then made sure she understood the difference between walls and partitions.....

I can't wait to do many upgrades to our Florida home when we move there full time in 491 days.....actually, We leave for down there in 12 more days and will be Floridians for 7 weeks. I know that it nothing for you all, but for one who cannot retire yet, and has endured our NY winters, I can't wait.

Frank
