Expert Advice When You Need It Most

As a layperson, can I direct questions to the defendant in small claims court-bad contractor case.

I am suing my contractor for poor tiling and a host of other damages in small claims court. I would like to interrogate him at our trial but cannot find the law permitting a lay person to do this. The applicable law says a plaintiff's attorney may question the defendant but does not say whether it extends to the plaintiff in small claims.
