[quote=Anonymous]We have done very few upgrades for cosmetics only. Things like painting a room, replacing faucets, repairing drywall, replacing light fixtures I do DIY. I do not borrow money ever. With a tight budget we could not do any real remodeling but painting walls and refinishing cabinets was enough of a transformation for us. No, most people cannot reasonably DIY new floors unless it’s maybe tiling one room. We got hardwood floors put in recently to replace nasty old carpet and the installation was reasonable and done in 1 day. We paid for it from savings. I cannot imagine trying to DIY that. After saving for retirement and college and kid stuff there really isn’t a big budget and usually I’m only spending on absolute necessities like a new water heater when the old one went out. [/quote]
