hi this is Anita from Real Estate
0:10
Crunch and this month we've been talking
0:12
about renovation the entire month so in
0:16
continuing to talk about renovation the
0:18
one thing I'm going to talk about is
0:20
today is about give you some suggestions
0:22
of seven places that you can go if you
0:25
want to learn home Home Improvement
0:27
skills now a lot of people you know they
0:30
don't want to pay for someone to come in
0:31
it can get really expensive it can get
0:34
very difficult so they want to be able
0:36
to somehow be able to do the Home
0:39
Improvement themselves I have done a lot
0:42
of my own home improvement so I know a
0:45
little bit first of all how difficult
0:47
this can be but how it can be made so
0:49
much easier if you can ask some expert
0:52
to be able to help you so here are some
0:54
suggestions or places that you can go to
0:56
look and things that you can do first of
0:59
all is take take a home improvement
1:00
class at your local hardware store now
1:03
there are some hardware stores that will
1:05
offer like a local Home Improvement
1:06
class Your Home Depot's done this in the
1:09
past now they do sort of a virtual I
1:10
think online uh type of class that they
1:13
do uh where you can be able to basically
1:16
have some type of class or do something
1:19
that will be where somebody will be able
1:21
to teach you or you know and you'll be
1:24
able to ask some questions and be able
1:26
to find out some basic information about
1:29
some of the renovation that you want to
1:31
do the thing which I do a lot is I ask
1:35
experts at a local hardware store now
1:38
there's an Ace Hardware store which is
1:40
not too far from my home and I actually
1:42
am a great fan of Ace because it's not a
1:45
really big store it's a small store and
1:48
I find that the people there are quite
1:49
informative and are quite good and
1:51
they'll help and a lot of times I'll go
1:53
in with a photo and I'll say you know
1:55
here's what I want to do what do you
1:58
suggest that I should do what do I need
2:00
to do what are the tools I need to buy
2:02
how do I need to do it and you know by
2:05
having a photo and bringing that photo
2:06
in you could show to them they can look
2:08
at it we can discuss it a bit and that
2:11
can be able to help you you know uh buy
2:13
or borrow do-it-yourself books there's
2:15
lots of books out there which will show
2:16
you how to do things I once had to put a
2:19
ceiling up the ceiling was falling down
2:23
and I had no idea how to do it I you
2:25
know started getting some books and
2:26
other things and started learning about
2:28
it and was actually able to do it and
2:31
and really I was able to do it a lot
2:33
with online tutorials I'm a great fan of
2:37
the show This Old House I watched a lot
2:40
of their videos on this and I've watched
2:43
you know where they'll tell you how to
2:44
do certain things I I really love how
2:47
informative they are so you know just
2:50
basically on YouTube itself you can go
2:52
on there you can find people that are
2:53
showing you you know here's how you do
2:56
this here's how you do that here's the
2:58
tools you need for this this in fact
3:00
today it's so easy to be able to do this
3:03
because there's people there that are
3:04
telling you exactly what you need to do
3:06
step by step so you know through the um
3:09
online books through online tutorials
3:12
through YouTube you know networks Like
3:15
This Old House do-it-yourself Network
3:17
HGTV all of those shows usually you know
3:21
they can tell you and show you how to be
3:23
able to do certain types of Home
3:25
Improvement things um help friends with
3:28
their homes you know if have somebody
3:30
who basically is looking to do some home
3:32
repair you know maybe you help them with
3:34
their house you can learn from them or
3:37
maybe you can even do a switch and you
3:38
say look this weekend I'll come over and
3:40
help you and then next weekend why don't
3:43
you come over and help me and then you
3:46
sort of do a switch between helping each
3:48
other and you both help each other to be
3:51
able to do some of the Home Improvement
3:53
another one is to volunteer with habitat
3:56
by for Humanity I think this is a great
3:59
one this is a great organization they're
4:01
building houses you uh will be able to
4:04
learn a lot through volunteering with
4:06
them you should be you know learn a lot
4:08
about tools and other things and safety
4:11
and so this would be a great way for you
4:13
to be able to gain some skills if you
4:15
want to be able to gain some of these
4:16
skills would be through volunteering
4:18
with an organization like Habitat for
4:22
Humanity you could start small and then
4:24
you can work your way up and that's one
4:26
of the main things is just you know
4:27
start by doing just start small then
4:29
work work your way up and just keep
4:30
learning and and you know and asking
4:33
questions and learning and asking
4:34
questions and don't be afraid you know
4:36
to ask the questions to be able to learn
4:39
there's lots of ways out there that you
4:40
can be able to learn things and there's
4:43
lots of ways that you can be able to do
4:44
