There are many different types of homeowner DIY-ers or Do-It-Yourselfers. I dare say most of them have one thing in common; that most initially become DIY-ers due to the motivation to save money on home repairs. I started down the serious road of doing things myself about 25 years ago. It is not easy initially, becoming a home repair DIY-er, especially if one does not own any tools. Starting out as a young do-it-yourselfer, I am sure I am no different from most other young homeowner do-it-yourselfers when I say I had the following.
- No tools
- No hand skill
- No patience
- No Wisdom
- No money
- No time
But even in such a beginners state, I could easily install the best DIY gutter guard system; it really is that easy!
I remember the importance of the commitment I needed to make in order to become someone that performs important homeowner projects himself. The first difficulty that comes to mind is the fact that the young homeowner must initially overspend on almost every DIY project, in order to purchase the necessary tools needed. This excess tool spending was difficult for me to deal with, being a young, cash strapped first time home buyer, but I remember making the commitment first in my mind, and then from my bank account, deciding that purchasing tools was a down-er, but it was definitely worthwhile in the long run. Take it from me, now over 25 years later after stairways and sewer lines, for the DIY-er who sticks with it for a lifetime, the money savings from doing it yourself far outweighs the initial excess cost of tools. Eventually, you build up a large enough tool collection that you do not have to buy new tools for every project. I probably should be disqualified from the DIY-ers club, because I eventually went on to earn a living as a contractor for many years. Throughout a lifetime of home-ownership, those who stick with it gain great hand skill coordination, and a bank account full of the savings. Frustrations will abound during diy projects, especially if your trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, but as the world always teaches the most valuable lessons one way or another, patience is eventually learned as the better coping method when thing do not go well; being able to laugh at ourselves helps too.
For Complicated DIY Projects, Get Advice
When tackling complicated projects, it really helps if you have experts to lean on. For those complicated projects , you really need to be pretty good at taking the time to research and understand everything in advance. Knowledge builds stronger and deeper with every label you read and every article you digest and it also really helps if you have an expert you can rely on. One other important DIY aspect is the order of operations. With most complicated projects, one item must be built or installed before the other, and if you perform things in the wrong order, you will really pay a huge price in lost time and increased frustration. I do not think I ever could have accomplished my past projects, without always getting advice from an expert. I used to spend hours at Home Depot just looking for someone who could answer my DIY questions. Eventually, regardless of whether it was carpentry, plumbing or even electrical work, I always found an expert to guide me and I probably could never have completed those projects without expert advice.
Start Easy - Easy DIY Gutter Cleaning
As a young homeowner, it is probably not a good idea to just dive into the most tricky DIY projects. Sure, we all want to have those kitchen cabinets with under cabinet lighting, but like most challenges, it probably makes sense to start a little slower. In order to build some confidence, start off with some projects that are not too complicated. Initially, you will want to get some confidence by completing a few projects successfully. If you can gain some confidence from a few successful projects, not only will you come out smiling and ready for the next one, but you will also build up a little resistance to the possibility of frustrations and quitting as a DIYer altogether when projects get difficult. Plan your first few projects to be somewhat foreseeable and easy. If your first 2 projects are complicated, you could end up with disastrous results that can thrust you out of the DIY space forever. A great project to start with is gutter cleaning. Performing your gutter cleaning is a great project to get off the list because you will likely avoid a gutter clog, and it requires no complicated tools other than a ladder; and you are going to need one of those eventually anyway. Once you have mastered gutter cleaning, save yourself even more time from future gutter cleanings, by installing the best DIY gutter guard, GutterBrush. It is not a cleaning brush, it is an innovative gutter clog protection system.
DIY Gutter Guard
When installing a DIY gutter guard, choose the gutter guard or leaf guard that plays to your level of skill.
