As a keen DIY’er you’ll want to keep up your jobs throughout the winter. However, it can be difficult through the colder months to get things done; especially jobs which are undertaken outside. However, with our options for weekend tool hire, you’ll be able to spend time on indoor jobs. Whilst it’s colder outside why not do some indoor jobs you may have been putting off; then come spring you’ll be finished indoors and able to tackle the outdoor jobs. Keep your winter weekends busy with these DIY weekend jobs.
Refresh the Walls
Giving the walls a fresh coat of paint or wallpaper can really help bring a room back to life. Whether you’re just touching up or going for a complete change, it can give the room a new lease of life. For a full refresh, sand the walls back using a wall sander before plastering and applying fresh paint.
If you have old wallpaper needing removal, it is easier to remove with a wallpaper stripper than to attempt the process by hand. You can then replace with fresh wallpaper or change to paint if you desire.
Refresh Carpets
If your carpets are looking a bit worse for wear, winter is a great time to give them a good clean or even replace them. For those which are well past their sell by date you may want to opt for new carpet all together; new fluffy carpets will be great for winter. For those that only need a little refresh, you’ll be amazed what a good carpet cleaner can do! It can help your sorry looking carpets appear as good as new.
Floor Work
For other flooring, you can restore them using a floor and edge sander. With a floor sander you can get a professional finish to your hardwood floors. Giving them a little TLC can help to liven up the room and give it a fresh look.
Update Doors
Lastly, you can update your doors; both interior doors and exterior doors. Giving them a fresh coat of paint can work wonders. For a new look entirely you can replace doors; you’ll be surprised how much of a difference this can make to the entire house.
