I'm Sure You Have Heard The Horror Stories

You will be surprised about how easy some of the jobs you will need to do are. Once you have got the list of all the jobs you propose to do mark next to them whether you can do the job yourself or you will need a workman to finish the job for you.Feedback If you don't ask people about your proposed renovation your are risking doing something that now all people might like or worse that only 1% love and the 99% hate. This will give you a clear picture of all the supplies tools etc you will need to get to finish the job. 7. How do they want you to pay - Cash, Cheque, Transfer it also may change your mind ASK!Hopefully you have a few great tips to get someone you can rely upon and you end up with an excellent finished job. 8. On the other hand don't risk something like knocking a wall down if you know you really don't know how to do it. But don't give up heart just get all the feedback you can even if it is 'Why did you buy this?' or 'Your gonna need lots of money'. Don't do this from memory, go to each room and look carefully at each room individually and see what needs to be done. If you are computer literate and like stuff on the PC why not create a excel or word file with all the rooms you are going to renovate in the file.Make sure you don't get a cowboy There's really no way to tell if the jobs you commission are going to be carried out properly but there are some things you can do. Always ask for a written quote and never except anything else. You will find it a lot easier to work out where things will go and what small things need to be done to get the perfect room. If they can do it this afternoon worry! 4.If you have decided that you will be doing some or all of the work then really look at the time you have available and be honest with yourself about how much time you really want to spend with Do It Yourself..So start with the most obvious people to give you some feedback on your ideas. 9. 5. 2. These ones usually push you on to get it right. 1. So listen the negatives and focus on the positive. After you must make a list! Write down all the rooms and then write out all the jobs you intend to do.Make A Plan Best thing to do is to start to build a plan of what you are going to do. We once had a plumber who rang several times this indicates a desperate plumber with no business and avoid these people.. Do you get on with this person? If not don't book them especially as they will be in your house for a length of time. Ask when they can do the work as most good workmen are busy and need sometimes months to book you in. Are they close? - If they have travelled.
