DIY (Do It Yourself) and Save Big

I was raised with a father who could fix anything. The only repairman I can ever remember coming to our home was a TV guy. He'd set a large mirror in front of the large screen while adjusting tubes and such from the back.

Today, if you're not even a little bit of a DIY-er, it can be pretty expensive. Here's a list of 17 easy fixes that can improve your home, wardrobe, your beauty routine, even your dog--for a fraction of the price it costs to hire a pro.

Which one would you do??? Which one would you pass over to a pro???
