Spending Reports
Where I tell you how much I spend on DIY, how much I've saved on tradesman fees and how long it all took me.
Welcome to my home DIY spending reports page, where I'll be giving you a month-by-month report on my personal DIY costs. I also include an estimate on the amount I've saved by doing it myself vs. paying a tradesman to do it. And, to be extra helpful, I let you know how long it took me to complete each project.
