The Pink Screwdriver

Merry Christmas to everyone and your families. Thank you for supporting me and The Pink Screwdriver this year - I am so lucky to have wonderful customers x

I fell in love with these recycled timber wall panels - the timber is used from decommissioned boats so each one has unique characteristics. It is very easy to install and can transform a room into something special.

Had a wonderful time at home show - found some great improvement ideas for your homes, and some really quality Australian made and owned companies.

I was also able to network and get my name out to some companies who are often asked by customers to help with some home maintenance and minor renovations. Will post more soon.

This beautiful home is now on the market - the owner has worked tirelessly getting her home ready. I've done a bit of painting, wall patch ups, repairs, etc to help present this lovely home. Please check it out :)

In light of a recent article, I want to highlight that renovating, building and home maintenance that appear on DIY shows seem to be really easy. Accidents can happen and do mainly with using power tools, ladders and around electricity. Do not be disheartened to attempt your own DIY work as long as it is not plumbing or electrical work.

Always keep safe and use the right safety gear - be aware of where electrical cables are in your house (power point and light switch locations are good indicators), aware of powerlines when using ladders and always having another person to assist, using safety gear when using power tools and again be aware of electrical cords (don't want to cut these). I even use ear muffs when mowing as hearing loss can happen over time without it.

Injuries can also happen with hand tools and not using them correctly or what they were intended for. Usually as people get more confident in their abilities, they end up getting careless.

Give things a go and don't be afraid as long as you're safe and sensible in the situation. There's heaps of DIY info on the internet on how to do anything and everything, even how-to YouTube videos.

DIY trend inspired by reality TV lands would-be handymen in hospital QUEENSLANDERS’ love of DIY renovation, inspired by hit reality TV shows, is coming back to bite them, with the state’s hospitals full of accident-prone home handymen every weekend.

The house I have been helping to get ready for sale is finally on the market!! The little touches make all the difference like refreshing with paint, repairing dents and holes in walls, securing loose decking boards, etc - things that a potential buyer may see. There's only one chance to make that first impression to a potential buyer.
