Do It Yourself

Projects for the Beginner to the Advanced and the Ones In Between

The idea of Doing It Yourself has come a long way and now more than ever the possibilities seem endless. From books to television shows there are readily available project plans for all types, timetables, and skill levels. It is this same availability that can leave a person hesitant about where to start. What materials are needed? How long will the project take? How is the project put together? We found some fun DIY project ideas with answers to many of these questions. If you find one that peaks your interest, call us for the supplies you need!

Below are three categorized sections: Beginner, Intermediate, and advanced, each containing six project ideas. On the back of each photograph is a brief description of the project and a link that takes you directly to the plan’s site. Most of the websites we researched offer either PDF or on-screen information, including: how long the project should take, cost, supplies needed, skill requirement, and photos or illustrations depicting step-by-step instructions. Some of these sites are blogs written by people who love to build or renovate, such as Old Paint Design. Some are professionals that want to share their passion with others, such as Ana White and The Family Handyman. When you find what you have been looking for or thinking about, come see us for supplies!
