If you’re only using a tool or a piece of equipment once or twice, compare the cost of renting against buying. You should also make a plan of what you want to accomplish on a daily basis.
Measure as many times as you need to. Try to be as accurate as possible even though there are some exceptions. Make an extra effort to have the walls square and plumb.
Safety is the most important advice that I can offer especially when handling power tools so please use the proper safety equipment and think "safety" at all times. Keep the working area clean, it promotes both safety and incentive.
Your common sense and patience are the most valuable tools that you will need, as they will be both tested from time to time.
