A few things i did, carport, kitchen etc
When i bought the house just over 5 years ago, it was land value only, pretty much everything was renovated or built and it's still not finish!
First of the kitchen, not the best job and the best photo but it's daily look with downlights but 2 has been busted, plus i installed an electronic fan for the bin cupboard. I am proud of it just the fact that i cut every single pieces using amateur tools and using one of the old cupboard, flip it backwards as a bench. took me around 2 years due to lack of time, money and laziness
Next an outdoor kitchen, complete with polyurethane doors, sink, lighting etc, it's not common to have an outdoor kitchen but my family cook alot of smelly sauces and alot of fried food.

Decking shade, i don't really what to call it, it's not exactly a gazebo so i am calling that unless someone can correct me only small one, i thought it's good to sit back, relax and have a beer

Carport, this took me about 4 weeks on and off, turned out alot better then i thought, 3 meters wide post to post and 12 meters long but not that high. Thats actually the back of the carport. I also built that picket fence to keep the dogs out.

Thats how I got into woodwork back in the 70's. Bought an old house and had to do the repairs/improvements etc myself (no dough). You should be very pleased with what you have done so far. Amateur tools or not it looks good probably just took you longer.
