Do-it-yourself tasks let you design your house and help you save money. But DIY doesn't always go to plan. Nearly 80% of homeowners make mistakes while doing DIY. Here are four of the biggest mistakes that homeowners often make.
Taking on Too Much
Many people find DIY harder and more expensive than planned. If you don't have time or skills,you might fail and waste money. Think about why you DIY. If it's just to save money,think again. Without skills,you could end up spending more.

A third of people use the wrong tools for a DIY task,which can make the job more difficult and unsafe. Many tools are designed for special uses and materials,so if you use them for other tasks,you may get hurt. Always use the right tools for each task,and make sure you know how to use them.
Not Safety First
DIY mistakes can make big trouble. In a survey,47% had big problems,and 44% had accidents like fires or falls. Be safe：Take your time,follow rules,and wear protective things like masks and gloves.
