What needs to be done to ensure you get top dollar when you put it on the market? It\u2019s time to start thinking about home DIY, but where should you start and what can you do? In this third article of our Life Stages of Home Ownership series, we\u2019ll walk you through the tasks you can do and those you should <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/builderscrack.co.nz\/post-job\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">call on a tradie<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to do for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6099\" src=\"https:\/\/builderscrack.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Exterior-of-a-Modern-Designer-Home_Resized-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"799\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Easy home DIY you can do yourself<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After you\u2019ve been living in your new home for a while, it\u2019s natural to notice things you want to change. The colour paint on the wall, a leaky tap or a dirty deck are all easy jobs you can sort out yourself. If you are not too sure how to do the task, Google can be your best friend. Let\u2019s look at some of the home DIY jobs you can get your hands dirty with \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Unblocking a blocked sink<\/strong> \u2013 before you call the plumber, grab yourself a plunger and get plunging. Or you could try grabbing some drain cleaner from your local hardware store to try instead.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Replacing a tap washer<\/strong> \u2013 the main cause of leaky taps is a worn washer. After you have turned your water supply off at the mains, unscrew the tap handle, remove the old washer and replace with a new one. Put the tap back together and turn the water on. It\u2019s a good idea to have someone standing at the tap as the water is turned on to let you know if it is still leaking.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong> Painting a wall<\/strong> \u2013 preparation is key to preparing a great canvas to paint upon. This means removing flaking paint, repairing any holes and removing any mould from the wall. A coat of undercoat is needed first, then two layers of top coat should have it looking like new!<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Cleaning your guttering<\/strong> \u2013 gutters are always being blocked up with leaves, moss and other gunk. Cleaning your guttering is an easy home DIY job you can do with two people. One person climbs the ladder and scoops out debris, while the other holds the ladder steady. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Wallpaper stripping<\/strong> \u2013 if your room\u2019s wallpaper is not to your taste, you can either paint over it or replace the wallpaper. For either option, it\u2019s best to strip the wallpaper completely off first. This gives you a smooth surface to paint or wallpaper upon. A wallpaper steamer works well at getting it off with little effort. But if it is coming off easily, you could use your hand and a scraper instead.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6098\" src=\"https:\/\/builderscrack.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_512123914_Resized_1200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/builderscrack.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_512123914_Resized_1200-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/builderscrack.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_512123914_Resized_1200-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/builderscrack.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_512123914_Resized_1200-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/builderscrack.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_512123914_Resized_1200-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/builderscrack.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_512123914_Resized_1200-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/builderscrack.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_512123914_Resized_1200-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/builderscrack.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_512123914_Resized_1200-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/builderscrack.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_512123914_Resized_1200.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Home DIY jobs where you need a professional tradesperson<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes it\u2019s just not safe, legal or you don\u2019t have the knowledge to repair something around your home.
