Has anyone here on my list done their own home remodeling. A kitchen, in particular. Was it worth the price you saved going to a contractor? Tell me all the gory details.

depends on what sorta remodling you're talking about.

Major stuff like replacing all the cabinets/counter tops and reLOCATING major appliances?

HELL NO.

Minor stuff like redoing the floor and just replacing appliances? Surely.

On the cabinets & countertops, as long as you're not reconfiguring things, too drastically, it actually wouldn't be hard to do... I understand the basic theory of what has to be done, I've just never personally DONE it. But moving the fridge to the other side of the room, putting in an island with a cooktop or sink on it, and other such things are WAY out of my purvue... as is knocking out walls.

All that said... I COULD put you in touch with handyman hottie. I dunno if he's still doing contracting himself, but I do know he has contacts for contractors you can trust.
