Since we're bragging..:)
Doubled the size of our house and sunk every nail, dug trenches, framing, plumbing, dryway, HVAC, electrical. Only thing we didn't do was the concrete foundations or build kitchen cabinets.. We were DONE by then..:)
Never sent a car to a mechanic for any reason except for tire changes/alignments.
Same with farm implements/tractor.
Built two airplanes. One with instrument capability.
If it needs welding, machining, fixing then I do it.
Doing hands on stuff was a nice balance to my engineering career which was nothing but computer work, calculations and managing people.
