"I'm thinking of remodeling my kitchen myself. Is it hard to do?" The answer depends on several things: 1. Are you going to do ALL the work yourself of have some of it done? If you're a bona fide beginner, I recommend doing the easier things yourself and hiring subcontractors for the rest.2. What skills do you already have? Which are you willing to learn? You'll need to be a plumber, electrician, carpenter, and more - depending on what your remodel entails. 3. How much time do you have? Can you live without a kitchen for the time it takes you to remodel it? Remodeling your own kitchen often takes longer because of amateur skills. AND your time each day is probably limited by - oh I don't know - your job, maybe?
