I am going to give you simple to follow DIY Hints & Tips

"Building Tips"

Before beginning any "DIY" project, it is important to plan fully and understand what the whole strategy entails as well as what you want the outcome to be. You must prepare for the various steps involved in the project, ranging from what initial preparations you need to make to what tools will be required for the job. So think before you start

You should consider the kind of property or feature you are working on. If you are "renovating" an old property for example, there may be more considerations and more work required in updating it than simple "renovations" for a newer property. Try and visualise the end product.
When planning your time, take into account your own expectations and personal standards regarding the work. If you know you are a perfectionist or that you wish to add in small details to your design, add more time so that you can pace yourself realistically.
Try to take an objective step back and view to project as though you were an external contractor. What would you recommend be completed first? What work is necessary? It may be the case that the "plaster" needs repairs before you can begin to "paint", for example.

"DIY" or Do You Need Help?
Be realistic about your "DIY" plans. Doing it yourself is cost-efficient and rewarding, but you will have to face facts about where your skills and weaknesses lie if you wish your project to be successful.

Get some advice:

Find a book on home renovations and step by step "DIY" projects, get us to send you a copy of our or visit a good hardware store. You will often gather some good advice at a small Hardware shops from time-served "DIYers".
Don't forget to ask around your friends to find out if they have any experience of similar projects. It is always useful to learn from other people's mistakes! Failing that; talk to an expert. Hire a contractor for a couple of hours to get you started and show the correct technique. That way you can still complete the project yourself without any major hiccups.

Plan your time:

Supplies - List all your required "tools" and "materials" before you go to the store so that you get everything you need. It is advisable to get a little extra in case of mishap, and should also make your purchases a few days in advance so that you can double check you have everything.
Schedule - Ensure that your family and friends know that you are planning a "DIY" project to avoid interruptions. Give yourself a weekend or other ample time so that you can take it steady.
