You know, when you try to be like that handyman, or when you get a set of tools for Christmas and you feel like you absolutely have to put them to use.

Talking about what you can do yourself around the house has to include a big, flashing warning: beware of DIY jobs. Because jobs that involve waterproofing, plumbing and electrics should be done by a licensed professional – otherwise you are most likely doing something that could be not up the code, substandard, non-insurable, dangerous, and often in need of total redoing.
