My grandfather had built their home. I helped my father renovate first the lowest floor, and then the top floor. It was fun, I learned a lot, and got electro-shocked quite a few times because my grandfather had done some really weird wiring. That experience helped me tremendously building my business, as I didn't have to call any tradies for anything. Only once, when 220V was installed, I had someone come and do it. I watched closely, though, and did it myself the second time around. Worked fine, none of the machines burned.

I'm not good at doing it beautiful, though. It works, but everyone will notice that it was done by someone who doesn't have the patience nor gives it the importance to be perfect.
