What's more, to get professional results you often need some fancy tools that you may not possess. Time also becomes a factor. Try to keep in mind that you will not be as productive at interior carpentry as a craftsperson who does it on a daily basis. A project that you think will take one day might take a weekend. A weekend project may take two when you suddenly realize you need to go to a soccer game or the weather doesn't cooperate.
Large projects can easily stretch over several months.
Try to save money on things that can be changed easily. If you have plumbing skills, consider entry-level faucets at each sink. Interior doors can be switched out at a future date if you possess moderate carpentry skills. These two jobs require few specialized tools. You can possibly save quite a bit of money in your flooring.
