With some people finding it hard to make ends meet and others doing their best to be sustainable, many of us like to give it a go at DIY. However, it’s true that on many occasions we end up with a handful of screws or even worse, an injury or having to call a professional to get the job done because we get tired of seeing everything lying around and in a mess.
