I always try to fix things around the house, as long as I know how to do it, or it doesn't seem to be that difficult to learn. I do always keep a list of reputable contractors' numbers handy "just in case" I end up getting in over my head.

I always keep in mind to make sure that I don't attempt jobs that I know I'm not capable of doing/learning. I have a list of reliable contractors that I can contact in case I get into trouble!

Yes, the small things do count!

Great tip! It reminds me of Malcolm Gladwell's book, The Tipping Point. During the 90s, the NY city cops addressed petty crimes first -- jumping subway turnstiles, graffiti, etc. The thinking was those who commit small crimes are likely to commit big crimes.
