I’ve never really considered myself all that handy, but manage to get things done with enough youtube/reddit research, and trial and error.

I’ve been rolling around the idea of finishing my basement on my own, but I’m nervous I’m biting off more than I can chew. The cost savings is definitely a big plus, but I’ve always enjoyed home projects too. I managed to Frankenstein some Ikea shelves into built-ins in my home office. Over the summer I installed a couple of outlets, insulated, and put drywall up in my garage. And built myself a workbench.

Curious if others have been in the same boat and how it went? Suggestions for good resources?
