DIY Home Improvement

A dedicated space to document upcoming DIY projects around the house. The main goal here is home improvement—learning how to tackle these issues directly to save costs rather than paying someone else to do it, provided it's feasible to do ourselves.

Minor Repairs & Replacements

Up to this point, I have mostly focused on small-scale projects. Doing minor repairs and component replacements around the house has been a great way to build confidence with tools, understand basic home construction, and handle routine maintenance without the markup of professional labor.

Tool Acquisitions & Maintenance

Recently, I expanded my tool arsenal by taking advantage of Black Friday sales. While my initial setup was focused on basic hardware replacements and patching, these new additions are geared heavily toward ongoing home maintenance.

Having the right specialized tools on hand prevents minor issues from snowballing into expensive professional service calls, ensuring I am always prepared for routine upkeep around the house.

Now that I have a solid foundation, I am planning to transition into a significantly larger project for the house. The next phase involves assessing the feasibility, calculating material costs versus professional quotes, and mapping out the required time investment.
