Do-it-yourself projects let you design your house,providing a way to save money. But even with step-by-step instructions,DIY doesn't always go as planned. Nearly 80% of homeowners make mistakes while doing DIY. Here are four of the biggest mistakes that homeowners often make.
Taking on too much. More than 40% of people find DIY projects more difficult and expensive than they thought. By taking on a task that needs more time or skills than you have,you may end up with a big mess and an unfinished project. “It's important to think about why you want to DIY and what you're hoping to get out of it,” said Bailey Carson,a home care expert. “If you're doing it just to save money,you might need to think twice. Without the time,tools,and talent to do it correctly and safely,mistakes may cost you more in the long run than simply paying others to help from the beginning.”
_▲_ A third of people use the wrong tools for a DIY project,which can make the job more difficult and less safe. Many tools are designed for special uses and materials,so if you use them for other tasks,you may get hurt. Always use the proper tools for each project,and make sure you know how to use them.
Not safety first. DIY mistakes can not only be costly(代价高的) but also dangerous. Of the survey people who once made a big mistake during their DIY projects,47% said that the mistake led to serious problems,while 44% started a fire or fell off a roof or ladder(梯子). Take your time and follow all safety rules when using tools. Wear dust masks,safety glasses,hearing protection or gloves to protect yourself.
Skipping important steps. Skipping a key step can end up your whole DIY project—and you might not realize it until much later. In the survey,47% of people said that they had finished a DIY project before realising it was done wrong. Read all instructions carefully ahead of time,and make sure you have the necessary skills to complete each step before you begin.
