It seems we're in a permanent state of renovation these days. If it's not a new bathroom, it's repainting the bedroom, landscaping the garden, getting paving put in or even furniture restoration. If you're getting sick of the endless parade of tradespeople coming through the house, and the endless invoices, why not take a course in DIY and, well, do it yourself? Learn everything from upholstery to tiling to interior design, and create a living environment that's entirely your own.
