Does getting someone else to do the work count? My house was so 1950's looking, and there were some things done that I just wouldn't have been able to do on my own: gables, a deck, and a new garage treatment done to the front - my neighbors still comment on it. My daddy & I redid the kitchen and the bathroom (I have my own set of power tools and I'm not afraid to use them!).
My basement is 3/4 finished. I haven't decided which way I want to go with it yet. The male half of the original owners was a carpenter, so you can tell exactly where he was when he got ill. He put all sorts of storage shelves & closets in there (I think to make up for the lack of good closet space upstairs!), so it's pretty interesting. I think some hardwood floors would do wonders, though!
