A handyman list can run from a sticking door to a shop shelf to a drywall patch. Two state rules decide who can take which jobs, and the county landfill takes the leftovers.
Wiring and plumbing have their own licenses. State law makes it unlawful to act "as an electrical contractor" in Idaho without a license from DOPL. It also makes it unlawful to do the "work of plumbing" without a "state certificate of competency" (Idaho Code 54-2610).
