That's exactly how I got started and holy hell do I ever need to do it again. I've learned so much since doing it that I go down into the basement and cringe sometimes. Plumbing & wiring, that's pretty straightforward logical stuff. As is hanging drywall. Where things become an art is in the mudding/taping. At times I'm convinced you're either born with the skill or you're not. That's something that needs practice and so much of the finished look of the room depends on it. You can crush everything leading up to it but if you screw that up, it looks like crap. But when you nail it.....good times. Few things are as satisfying as putting the finishing touches on a room you did yourself.
