Home Improvements

Advice is appreciated if you or someone you know has done this.
We have a smaller house and we want to put an addition onto the back. Obviously, I know nothing of joists and all that stuff so we are hiring a contractor for that.
My querry:
I have a book (from Home Depot) that goes in depth of how to do alot of things by yourself (ie carpetting, tiling, replacing a bath tub and toilet) Is it worth it at all to do these things myself to save money or is it too much of a headache and I should just have a contractor do it all?
