Or do you need to hire people to do home improvement jobs and repairs?

We've built a house,so we can do most mantenance.
DH would hire a guy to remodel the bathroom, though.
Plumbing isn't his thing.But he's laid carpeting,
kitchen floors,and painted all our walls here.
I usually do what I can if he isn't around
or hire someone if it's a big job!
