Out of curiosity, how good are your DIY skills?

Were you involved in said repairs/improvements or just an onlooker?

Decent. I got the spirit from my dad but most of the actual practice on my high school's stage crew, and a part-time technician job at one of my university's concert halls.

I couldn't finish a basement or build cabinetry from scratch like my dad did, but I can use a drill and table saw to put together sets that'll look reasonable at 30 feet. Or go at basic household issues with my bag of hand tools.

More to my interests, I can spec, build, configure, troubleshoot, solder, etc. my way around a performance venue's sound, communications, and lighting control systems.
