Important Do-It-Yourself Home Remodeling Advice
Often I'm asked by homeowners, if they think that they
can build something on their own. Often I end up explaining the process
to them and it's pretty confusing. I would like to give some homeowners
and construction handyman some do-it-yourself home remodeling advice,
about projects that I think they should avoid and the reason why.
1. Working on Electrical Service Boxes
I really don't recommend, anyone who lacks experience working with
electrical, to be working on it at all. When it comes to the electrical
service box repairs, if you don't have any experience working in this
specific area, I am suggesting this to all homeowners and
do-it-yourselfers, stay away from electrical service power boxes.
Electricity can be extremely hazardous to your health, so take my
advice, this is coming from an expert on the subject.
2. Plumbing Water Supply Lines
I don't recommend, anyone who doesn't have any experience working with
plumbing water supply lines, because if they break, or if your repair,
doesn't hold properly, you could destroy a large portion of your home.
Picture this, you just got through putting a new faucet in, everything
looks great, but it's time for you to go to your baseball game. You come
home about four hours later and the entire house is flooded with water.
This kind of stuff does happen and you need to take the advice of an
expert here. It has even happened to me and I understand the process,
pretty good. If you plan on fixing any plumbing water supply lines, make
sure that you can spend the time, keeping an eye on your new home
repair. If you're going to have any problems with them, they will
usually happen within the first few hours of use.
I hope this helps, sometimes it's better to pay a professional, but I
can understand, every intelligent person, is interested in saving a few
dollars and learning new skills.
