I enjoy part of it. I like creating something new... building a shed or trellis, adding a new light fixture. I don't like fixing leaks, patching walls, and so on.

But doing this stuff yourself is so much better financially. You don't turn a profit by paying contractors to improve your house; you profit by investing your own labor to do it at 20% of that cost.

Imagine investing in a stock where you could put in some labor now and then, and have that actually result in substantially higher stock prices.
