I\u2019m not talking about difficult tasks such as replacing your furnace or cutting that gigantic tree in your backyard. Those jobs are best left for the experts. I\u2019m talking about easy jobs ex: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

> Painting your deck or fence
> Cutting small tree branches
> Lawn mowing, trimming, edging, leaf blowing
> Replacing old ceiling fans, chandeliers, outdoor lights
> Fixing a leaky faucet. This is as easy as just replacing the inbuilt cartridge
> Installing a new overheard bathroom exhaust fan
> Replacing the old faucets in your bathroom or kitchen
> Replacing the kitchen garbage disposal unit<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The list is endless. For minor jobs, you can DIY (Do it yourself) instead of throwing hard earned money at contractors.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

How do I learn how to fix things?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

YouTube has all the answers that you need! Just search for the issue and you will find multiple videos showing you what tools you need, what precautions to take and step by step instructions. After watching a few videos, you will have the confidence to go ahead and tackle the job yourself. Thanks to YouTube, I have accomplished tons of DIY tasks and saved myself a lot of money in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can do it too<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

DIY may seem intimidating at first. I have a neighbor who told me that he stays away from plumbing and electrical tasks, but those are also a piece of cake once you watch videos and try things yourself. Be a handyman around your own home and happy DIY guys!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
