Hey, it’s Katie Go! In this episode of Custom Built, I’m diving into the age-old renovation question: Should I do it myself or hire it out? I’ve been seeing so many DIY wins on Instagram—especially from some badass women stepping into power tools for the first time—and I love that energy. But here’s what no one’s talking about: time. Sure, you saved a few hundred bucks, but how many hours did it take? What did it cost you in weekends, missed moments, and mental load? I’m not saying one way is better, I just want us to start looking at the real currency—our time.
I’m sharing my own porch reno story (spoiler: it’s still not done), the lessons I’ve learned about managing time vs. money, and the mindset shift from “I should do this because I can” to “I want to do this because it brings me joy.” Whether you’re laying tile, project managing trades, or just figuring out your next home move—your time is valuable, and so are you. Tune in for a real-talk breakdown of how to choose your projects with intention and energy that fuels you, not drains you.
