We're curious. How many of these things do you do yourself? Try to choose the things you've done or do on a regular basis. If there's something on the list you've never tried, don't select it. Naturally, if I've missed something, please add a post and mention it. thanks
The goal here if to fine-tune our demographics. FYI

It's worth noting that these results do not necessarily represent the "average" HomeSeer user since the poll is limited to message board users. Message board users (MBUs) are (for the most part) home automation "enthusiasts".
That said, there are no huge surprises with the results. 3/4 of MBUs install their own light switches, thermostats, security systems and networking hardware. I think it's particularly interesting that 97% of MBUs install their own wall switches, since that may be one of the biggest impediments for widespread home automation adoption.
As DIY tasks get more mechanically specialized in nature, fewer MBUs participate. The big surprise to me is how comparatively low the oil change number is. I would have bet money that would be higher.
As mentioned below, I neglected to include changing door locks. I'm going to guess that would have made it to the top 75% though.
Anyway, thanks to all for playing along.
