This is one of the most repressive statements ever. I was told once that if I've never buffed a car before, I should never try it because I didn't know how. Gimme a break, the only way to learn is doing it yourself.


For your recessed lighting, it's SO easy, do it all yourself, and only call someone in if you really screw it up bad. everything can be fixed in a home, there are products for everything.


I forgot to mention that if you have questions about code, get a book from home depot about wiring, and current codes. Doing electrical work is nothing to be worried about either, like some people have said, if you aren't sure where power is on, flip the main breaker to "off" and go crazy. just work during daylight hours and get a battery powered work light. 2 people is better than one, even if the other is just standing there reading from the book.
Good luck!
