We always want to improve what our house looks like or we simply need to make repairs so parts of our house work better. And we don’t always have a budget for it.
So what do we do? We try to DIY it to save money.

The government had ordered a lockdown and shut down of all non-essential companies, including construction companies. They were in the middle of renovating his bathroom. The only bathroom in his home.
