Fix It 101 | DIY Projects
•
Many DIY Projects start with a spark, an idea, on making your home better and more efficient. Or after a weekend of binge watching those 30 minute DIY makeover shows. But not matter where your inspiration comes from Fix it 101 is here to help. Today we look at common DIY injures and how you can avoid them. Also what projects require a permit before you start working? But as always we want to hear from you. Send your questions or comments to: fixit101@mpbonline.org.
Hosted by Jason Klein, Pam Pybas, ASHI certified inspector at Inspect It Like a Girl, and licensed contractor Jeff Salmons from House Works.
