[Jason]

Workshop community members are a talented and creative bunch, and generous in sharing their knowledge and experience. Everybody has to start from somewhere, and everybody struggles with some tasks or finds them intimidating. So it's fantastic that Workshop can help connect people and solve their most difficult D.I.Y. problems. 

To make sure we are helping as many Workshop members as possible, I'm keen to hear what are your biggest home improvement challenges. 

What D.I.Y. tasks do you find the most difficult? 

What jobs around the house and garden do you find consume the most time?

What problems do you find are the hardest to fix at your place?

Hi IanP,

If you think you have the ability to do the electrical work safely, then you can wire it all up yourself and then have a licensed electrician inspect your work and if it's all OK..he can give you a certificate of approval..That's what I've done at different times..

Hi Prof,

You’re not alone. A common disease among DIYers. We are often given the choice of taking either the Red or the Blue pill...
