Four steps for a successful DIY at home

1. Reuse and recycle

Everything does not have to be new to make your home improvement successful. Think before removing things from your home, consider reassigning a role to an old piece of furniture which you do not need or want to refurnish with some simple DIY.

2. Knowing your limits

Know your limits before tackling a project. Not everyone is comfortable with operating power tools, or working on plumbing and electric. Discover what you have interest in and like to do, and go with that.

3. Watch and learn

Learn from videos or even better, by direct observation. The minute you think you know it all, you will realize that there is something new to add to the product or even remove unnecessary parts from it.

4. Become eco-friendly

By Reusing things that can be used more then once or putting them into your recycling bin and make sure the contents are collected when full. Or instead , compost organic waste in your garden to become fertilizer instead of sending it to a landfill or incinerator. By doing this, you would be giving back to the environment and having a compost pile which will improve your soil quality for your garden.

After reading the sharing, do you agree with the four statements?

Yes , I do think that if we do DIY mostly with recycled materials, it would give us a sense of achievement as we are able to turn something that is worn out and used into something new and more user friendly if we modify it.

I am really impatient and don't really like to do hands on work as it takes patience, but I do my part for the environment by putting in effort in recycling the many different types of recyclable objects like plastics, papers and cans at home. What other simple tasks can I do which requires minimal effort?
