I'm used to doing most of my own electrical wiring, plumbing, and carpentry. How common is DIY home repair in Uruguay? Are there good places to buy materials? Where do you find guidance on local procedures and norms (so that you don't do work that draws excessive attention to itself)? Where do you get building code information? How rigidly do they enforce the codes?
Sorry for the hail of questions! Please feel free to pick and choose the ones you'd like to answer. I'll appreciate any and all feedback.
