A study-only guide shows no build steps. Every guide ends with "Call a pro when..." and can link to Pros and Neighbors. For electrical, structural, plumbing, roofing, and decks, the line is "Permit likely needed." Homes built before 1978 may have lead paint. Test first. Do not sand. Never reuse CCA, creosote, or penta wood. Oily rags dry flat, or go in a sealed metal can with water.
Outside links would credit iFixit and Instructables. Nothing is copied from them.
