This is your sign to pick up that tool you’ve been wanting to try and build something! 👆🏼 Lucas didn’t even own a drill when we met, and now after just four years, he’s building custom cabinetry rivaling any professional work I’ve seen. No school, no training—just YouTube videos, blog tutorials and making mistakes through trial and error! I started DIYing out of a deep desire to make my home beautiful—and I couldn’t afford to hire anything out on a college-graduate budget. The simplest projects seemed nearly impossible back then, but I wasn’t afraid to make mistakes and figure it out. Now I’m renovating my 8th house, and so lucky to have found a partner who loves to get his hands dirty and build that sweat equity with me! With today’s insane renovation and labor costs, it really pays off to tackle projects on your own. Whether you’re building something for your family to enjoy, or want to add value to your home, DIY skills are invaluable. I hope this gives you encouragement and proof that it’s never too late to start, and these abilities are developed over time. You just have to be willing to try and have patience to stick with it! If we can do it—so can you! 💪🏼🔨
