Home and D.I.Y Improvements | China Education

Why D.I.Y

With the current economic struggle every one is looking at ways to cut down spending and find methods of saving money any which way they can. But what if your home is in need of some touch ups and minor improvements.It could prove very costly to hire in a?professional, so why not have a go yourself ?

A great way to save some cash is to get your hands dirty and have a go at some d.i.y projects yourself around your home. Now im not talking about building extensions or changing a roof. simple things like hanging doors, laying flooring, fit architraves and even decking in the garden most competent d.i.y?ers could easily do more than they think when it comes to home improvements just by following simple guide?s and having the correct tools for the jobs.

What tool?s will i need

This all depends on what job it is your going to undertake. Every job will have its own particular cutting list (list of tools/materials needed) . There are also a group of tools that any d.i.y?er should have in there tool box at all times. In my opinion these are

• Hammer
• Screwdriver set
• Chisels
• Tape measure
• Pencils
• Spirit levels
• Spanners and pliers
• Cordless drill
• Set or Try Square
• Smoothing Plane

With this collection of tools you will have a good footing for most jobs in the basic home improvement category. You can always add too your collection over the years to build it up if you wish to do so. If there is a tool you need you don?t have before going out and spending your hard earned cash on it, ask around maybe a?neighbor?or family member has one that you could borrow this will save you money that you don?t?necessarily?have to spend.
