Do you ever feel like you’re trapped in a never-ending cycle of home repair? And if you’re anything like us, you probably catch yourself sighing every time you see that stubborn front door… or that leaky faucet… or that random crevice of drywall that you keep meaning to patch… or the list goes on. The good news is that you’re not alone! But the not-so-good news is that a lot of people face the exact same problem. And the only way to break out is by tackling that project you’ve been putting off. Here’s some good news! You don’t have to be a super-handy person to get your projects done. You just need the right mindset and a lot of patience. And luckily for you, we’ve got plenty of DIY projects that you can handle this weekend. From painting to patching, and everything in between…
Door Installation
Installing new doors is a long-term project which means that you’ll be doing a lot of little tasks along the way. And what’s great about all of these tasks is that they all help to get you closer to the goal of installing new doors! There are two types of doors you can install: wood doors and metal doors. Wood doors are a lot easier to install, but they require more work because of their design. Metal doors are a lot more durable but require a lot of prep work to ensure that they don’t corrode. Which type of door do you have? Wood doors require much more prep work because they often have decorative features on them. Most doors have to be sanded down and then re-painted. A lot of people also give their doors a sealant treatment to make sure that they don’t fade. And if you have metal doors, they’ll most likely need to be repainted.
Stair Tread Installation
Installing a new stair tread is the perfect project for when you have a baby or toddler in the family. And it’s also a great project because it can be done almost anywhere! Many people choose to install wood stair treads because they’re durable and beautiful. But there are a lot of other options available if you want something a little bit more modern. You also have a lot of options in terms of how thick you want the treads to be. Wood stair treads are the most common type of tread, but they do have some issues. The biggest problem with wood treads is that they have a tendency to warp as they dry out. Stair treads with a coating are resistant to warping, but they also have a lot of disadvantages.
Bathroom Makeover
