The home page is the gateway into the DIY Database and features a new project every week. This page has a table with Do it Yourself and Pro Money and Hours estimates. At the bottom of this table there's the name of the city that the national cost is adjusted to. If you haven't entered a zip code, there's a link to adjust the average cost.

In the DIY Database there's cost data information for over 1000 cities by zip code. If the system doesn't find a matching zip code near yours, try entering a zip code for a town near you. You can change back to the national cost at any time; just choose that option.

This cost analysis is also on each of the Project Cost Pages.


At the bottom of many projects under the Cost Box you will find links to pages with DIY Step-by-Step instructions and Hire A Pro Advice.

In addition to these links you will always find links to DIY Home Hints & Tips.






At the bottom of the Project Cost pages there is a user poll asking if you would do this project yourself or hire a pro. The results of the poll is shown in the menu roll outs.
