Well, he seems like a capable do-it-yourselfer, but he prefers to let professionals handle the big stuff. Even though he's just across the runway, he's in Kootenai county and thus has to deal with compliance with codes, inspections, etc.

I do my own electrical, but I leave plumbing and drywall to those who can do it right the first time.
