Be Better @ Unfinished DIY

A Wonderfully Imperfect Guide to Doing It Yourself (one uncovered wall stud at a time)

Every house has one. Most have four.

There is a tarp in the hallway, a deck with no railing and a box of tiles in the laundry that has been waiting since Easter. The wall is two colours. Visitors assume it is a feature. You have stopped correcting them.

Inside: why the deck stopped at the stairs and the tiles never left the laundry, what to tell the father-in-law with the spirit level and how to spot the one job that needs a licensed tradie rather than another weekend.

No hardware run. No lecture about measuring twice. Just a pen, a list and permission to call some of it done.

• The stall, diagnosed. Nine reasons a job stops halfway, from the screws to the weather.
• Every job, decided. Finish it, pay a tradie or call it done as it is.
• The job, restarted. One Saturday morning and the smallest visible bit first.

Includes a free printable Half-Done Job Register.
