The thought of a DIY project, especially around somewhere as important as your own home, can be quite daunting if you’ve never tackled anything bigger than putting up a shelf before. Still, it doesn’t have to be quite so overwhelming. Just think of it as similar to the process of putting up a shelf and following that with repeated, similar, small and manageable tasks. If you’re still unsure where to begin, however, then here are some great tips and tricks for getting started on your very first full-scale DIY project around the home.

The beauty of YouTube and other sites on the internet is that tutorials can be more than a series of text-based instructions; now you can see somebody perform a construction task with your own eyes, ensuring that you mimic the procedure as accurately and precisely as humanly possible. There are channels dedicated to DIY, so you could binge one after the other and move through your home, renovating one room after the next; all with the the help of a simple series of videos.
Know your limits.
It’s not always your job to fix the bigger problems around your home, and you probably shouldn’t, either. You most likely have a limited set of skills when it comes to DIY, else you wouldn’t have read this article, and you shouldn’t be tackling areas of your home which require a keen, professional eye to solve. You could consider Foundation Repair DFW, for example, to ensure that the soil beneath your home is sturdy enough to support your house, but you don’t have the expertise to do it alone.
There are certain times that DIY is just not the smart solution for your home, and you have to think about safety above all else. Some aspects of your home will require structural or engineering expertise, and, unless you have that, you shouldn’t be tackling the task by yourself. Just keep the DIY work to design-orientated things or minor “fixes” around the house.
If in doubt, get inspired.
When it comes to matters of interior design around your household, maybe it’s not the prospect of getting stuck in with manual labour which intimidates you, but the prospect of making a poor design decision and struggling to go back on it later. Of course, if it’s the physical construction side of things which you prefer, there’s no harm in looking at magazine and interior design websites for inspiration as to an actual theme or colour style for your room. If you live with friends, a partner or your family, looking to them for input might also be a wise decision. Once you get started, you’ll find that creativity follows more easily as a vision of how the house or that specific room will look at the end of the DIY process starts to form in your head.

If you’re still in doubt, keep things simple until you get a feel for how well you cope with DIY builds. Something such as fitting insulation in your attic, for instance, is a meaty DIY task in terms of manual labour, but a very easy one at the same time. A hard day’s work doesn’t always have to be hard on your mind. There are ways to get stuck in with construction without driving yourself insane.

I have 3 cats and 1 lab mix dog and they all shed like CrAzY!!!! The amount of hair on our floor downstairs was crazy. I would sweep and vacuum at least once a day but even more than that. I felt like I couldn’t take a day off or the rolling tumbleweeds of hair would take over. Why did I get 4 pets with black fur in a house with white tiles? What was I thinking?!?!
The bObsweep PetHair is just one of several models of robotic vacuums that bObsweep makes but I knew with all the pet hair in our house it would be perfect for us. Bob is easy to set up. 
When he arrives you just need to attach his side brush with a single screw. He even comes with a screwdriver. Like I said, bObsweep has great attention to detail. Their customer service is awesome!
Plug in Bob’s charging station, place the metal plates on his underbelly on top of the nodes on his station, and let him charge himself up. Once he’s all charged up (it takes several hours for a full charge), he’s ready to clean your floors.
I was a little worried when I first started watching Bob clean. He doesn’t clean in straight lines like a human would so it took a little getting used to. I was afraid Bob would miss spots. When you first watch Bob cleaning on his automatic cycle (which takes about 80-90 minutes depending on the level of dirt he senses) it seems like he’s just running around your house randomly. He’ll clean part of a room and then leave to clean another room. DON’T WORRY! Bob will come back and finishing the job in each room before his cleaning cycle is done. I promise! Just let Bob do his thing and he’ll get it done!
Bob comes with a remote control so my kids and their friends think Bob is a fun new toy. They love to play with him and his remote control. And I love that their playing gets my floor cleaned. Win win!
On an automatic cycle Bob runs for about 80-90 minutes before he needs to be recharged. Once he’s finished cleaning and is ready to be recharged, he finds his way back to his charging base to charge himself back up which takes a few hours. With the work Bob does in my house, this recharging nap is well earned.
