I’m not that creative, but I have done some type of change or update to every single room in my home. Bathroom retile, took down walls, gotten my kitchen, removed every piece of floor from the main floor and put in a new sub floor, every light fixture changed, sealed and dry locked the basement, closet organizer but done on half the wall in my office for my wife, refinished the entire deck outside, took down 3 trees and planted more than 1000 sq ft of grass from seed alone, installed a new mantel and floating shelves in the living room, floating shelves in the kitchen, painted cabinets in the kitchen and installed a new soft close drawer, wired up the dishwasher to run a direct line to the breaker, installed the gas stove, washer and dryer with a new gas line for the 2, the list goes on and on. Never done any of it before and messed up my fair share, but now I at least know for the future. And after all is said and done, my wife wants to sell the house…
Share your DIY projects share your Ideas!
I have to be creative acting like a “facility manager” in our house.
You must have some of knowledge about different fields.
Not in the least. My dad taught me some things when I was growing up, but a lot of things I learned along the way with a lot of trial and error.

I have a nice long album of all the changes so I can look back when we sell it and know that I took it from where it was to where it is now
Errors🙄
Whenever someone here will try to lay real parquet
( not the easy method (click) or such laminate)
ask me before.
I did it and made many mistakes.
But in the end it was fine ( 70 sqm)
Floor screed, laying, grinding and laquering.
And what a miracle after 20 years there is no detaching.
My old car had a 6-disc CD changer (remember those?) and no Bluetooth, so I installed a new head unit. Not as nice as an Android tablet though…
And you don’t want to install it anymore?
No, i still want to. I’m not sure exactly where to start yet
Trial and error is the best way for problem solving! Awesome work, looks amazing.
Sometimes it is better to go for a specialist.
If you buy the materials, tools and after a lot of work the result is disappointing AND you have to look at this kind of bungle every day…
Its not easy to decide.
Best is you get an introduction by a skilled friend.
I put LED lights around my tv, does that count?
Lol… why not? this is a DIY at another level…
I might just open a youtube channel showing people how to install LED lights lol
Let me know when you do that, I will subscribe to your channel and oh ya, will hit that bell too…
Lol you are a true bro!!
Anything counts specially if you did it yourself.
I also put some led’s on the TV, my desk and under the kitchen worktop with a wifi controller and it looks great and it’s also controlled by voice with Alexa
My previous car a 99 Toyota Camry didn’t had an aux port so I installed a 30 pin ipod connector utilizing the CD changer port at the back of radio. It was fun upgrade…
Yeah, I want to do that too… need to spend some money. My kitchen counter top is shady when I want to cut veggies and stuff…was debating between pug lites or LED Strip and gave it up on both.
Will start again when @ikari04warrior uploads his DIY video on youtube
looks great!!
Nice! I need you to move into my house so you can do the same to mine jk jk
Once I open that channel I’ll give you a shoutout
I’m not very DIY guy, but all your ideas guys are amazing!
