That's all well and good until you start to help and find out that it's a bigger job than you thought. Having worked on my own old houses over the years I always find that it's not that simple all the time. Then you get into the "well, while you're at it you might as well ..." (very expensive words). I don't mind working on my own stuff, but when trying to help a friend and things go sideways you feel bad and maybe the friend feels that it was your fault even though it would have happened to anyone.
