This is a cute way to DIY a decoration. If you have left over felt, cut heart shapes and arrange it like a tree. Perfect Valentines Day decoration.

What you understand of the skilled trades is likely heavily dependent on many factors, including your family life growing up, your parent’s career tracks, your own educational background, and your current circle of friends and partnerships. Even if you have a strong knowledge of the skilled trades, we bet you didn’t know that well over 100 trades qualify under-skilled trades certifications? If you have an interest, even an obscure one, there’s probably a trades program for you. Love plants and gardening? You could be a Horticulture Technician or an Arborist. If you’re a master in the kitchen, Cooks and Bakers are skilled trades, as well. Get into building and construction in a more niche area by becoming an Architectural Glass and Metal Technician. The options are nearly endless. Trades are critical to the growth of any society because, at their core, they provide expertise in areas that require specialized knowledge over and above what even the most dedicated DIY master can provide. They are the people getting things done and keeping things running worldwide, and we will always need them. You can be mechanically inclined, but when your fridge breaks down, you might not have the experience under your belt to feel confident tinkering with such an essential appliance – but a Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Mechanic does! 

There’s a lot to be said for honing your own skills so that you’re not in a position of having to call a pro every time there’s a small issue in your home. That being said, some essential skills are important to master before you move out on your own for the first time. (Or, for some of us, to catch up on after moving out—that’s okay!) When you have the basics down, you’ll be more confident in what you can handle on your own and when it’s time to call in a pro in a skilled trade to fix something more specialized.  

LIFE SKILLS V. SKILLED TRADES

How do basic life skills connect to skilled trades? Many tradespeople will tell you—overwhelmingly often, household breakdowns come from lack of knowledge and maintenance. Learning some key skills beforehand can help you prevent problems with critical elements in your home like plumbing, refrigeration, heating, or damage to your drywall and flooring. Let’s talk about some life skills and how they’ll save you money in the future.

 

Grocery shopping and cooking – Learning what you like to eat, how often you eat at home, and how much food you need to get weekly at the grocery store are essential. Not only will you be wasting money if you overbuy every week, but you’ll also be adding to systemic food waste, increasing your environmental impact, and even potentially creating future issues with your kitchen appliances. Refrigerators and freezers have optimal operating conditions, and when they get stuffed full, they have to work overtime to compensate. If this is a temporary issue because you have friends staying with you and there’s more food in the fridge for a couple of weeks, no problem. If it’s something that consistently happens over time, your fridge and freezer will wear out more quickly. Chances are you’ll start to notice things like your fridge not getting as cold as it used to and your food spoiling more quickly. Or, even worse, your freezer failing and finding a melted puddle of liquid in the middle of your floor. This is the point that you’ll have to call in a pro to do some maintenance that could have been prevented. Planning ahead and knowing your needs can save tons of future headaches.

 

Cleaning and organization – Cleanliness and tidiness might seem like no-brainers until you’ve experienced the hectic pace and responsibility that comes with living on your own. Once you have, you’ll know that sometimes these can be the things that fall to the wayside. In the best-case scenario, you’ll learn that you don’t like living in a dirty and cluttered space and adjust accordingly with no dire repercussions. On the flip side, you might also become the victim of a dreaded pest infestation. Critters of all kinds (silverfish, roaches, mice, rats) thrive in environments where dirty dishes are left in the sink and drains are not cleaned properly. When these infestations get too far along, you’ll need to bring in a pest control worker and potentially a skilled tradesperson like a Carpenter or Plumber if the issue involves more critical elements in your home.

 

Laundry – You might not realize how much you take your washing machine and dryer for granted until they break down! These appliances are the workhorses of your home, and with some knowledge and maybe a Post-It or two as a reminder, you can go a long way to lengthening the life of these machines. 

 

Your washing machine doesn’t need a lot of TLC. Mostly, it just wants to remind you that it doesn’t like getting small objects from pockets stuck under the drum. This can cause issues that affect its functionality and mean you’ll have to call a repair person, but all you need to do is remember to empty your pockets! 

 

Your dryer does a hero’s job in removing all sorts of hair and fibers from your clothes so that they come out looking refreshed and clean. It does that by pulling all of that into your lint trap, and it needs to be cleaned out! Once it gets blocked, your dryer has to work a lot harder to do its job. Your clothes will take longer to dry, have more lint on them, and you’ll be shortening the life of your dryer. Not to mention that dryers get super hot inside, and having a blocked lint trap is a potential fire hazard. 

 

Managing time and finances – Many of the small preventative actions we’ve talked about so far come back to managing your time well. Creating routines that include things like cleaning out your fridge to prevent it from becoming overloaded and cleaning out your dryer trap are quick and easy things that can save you time and money in the long run. The same goes for managing your finances and knowing how much money you have coming in, what goes towards your rent and essential expenses, and what is getting saved. When it comes time to call in a pro to fix something in your home or apartment, you’ll need to be prepared for the expense. Regular maintenance will be covered by your landlord if you’re renting, but if there’s an accident that’s on you to fix—you’ll need to have money set aside for that.

Want a pet? Get Ready! Having a pet is a wonderful and enriching experience. Pets are great for your mental health and provide a whole different level of energy in your life. They can come with some potential challenges, though. Lower-maintenance pets like a snake, hedgehog, or hamster are easier to manage and less likely to cause damage in your home. Dogs and cats, however, can be a different story. 

Be prepared for the run-of-the-mill things like ruined furniture and shoes, but also for harder to fix things like stains on carpet or chewed-up baseboards. Having a pet means you’ll have to be ready to learn some DIY skills or have the budget to call a pro when the inevitable happens.

 

Home maintenance and improvement – Your maintenance priorities will depend on whether you own or are renting and if you’re in standalone or high-density housing. For a more specific list, look for resources that provide you with a good reminder of what to look for on a weekly, monthly, and yearly basis. Consider setting reminders on your phone so you remember!

When it comes to making improvements to your home or apartment, there is a lot you can learn to do on your own. A great place to get your DIY start is painting a room. If you’re renting, clear this with your landlord before putting one bristle on the wall! Painting is an easy DIY project that can completely change the feel of a room, and it doesn’t require a ton of skill. Get prepared by watching tutorial videos from qualified sources like this one from Home Depot, making sure you have all of the necessary materials, and voila! You’ll be amazed by your own DIY prowess. 

For things like flooring, tiling, and drywall, consider calling a pro for your first projects. Unless you have someone that has done projects like this before that can teach you, trying to learn on your own can be costly and more time-consuming than paying for the right skilled tradesperson to come in.

BUILD YOUR OWN BASIC TOOL KIT

Having a basic toolkit that lives in your house or apartment is key, even if you have a separate garage or workspace. A small but well-planned toolkit will let you make quick repairs without searching high and low for each item that you need.  

There are many starter toolkits on the market that will get you going with basics, but to be well-prepared, there are some extras that you’ll want to add. You never know, maybe getting into some basic home DIY will lead you to a career as a tradesperson!

 

SKILLED TRADES – WHY ARE THEY SO IMPORTANT?

Skilled trades are what allow us as a society to keep building and growing—literally. University and college degree programs are important in a very distinct way from the skilled trades, and they help us to keep growing as well, but differently. Trades are the foundation of our construction, industrial, power, and services. They are the people making things happen in very tangible ways, but over recent years and for several reasons, we have seen a decline in the number of skilled tradespeople. You might have noticed this, particularly if you live in a rural area that has a shortage of plumbers, electricians, and mechanics and have had to wait three weeks for an appointment that could have been made within a couple of days only a few years ago.

 

The skilled trades labor shortage is rooted in the Baby Boomer generation’s retirement, who focused more on trades careers than university or college degree careers, combined with the emphasis on four-year programs for students coming out of high school, exacerbated by the 2008 recession. That’s a lot of factors combining to cause a huge shortage of skilled tradespeople in the labor force, right when peak demand for those skill sets is expected to happen. 

 

There’s another consideration to factor in. If the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has made you reconsider the potential security of your job or career, a skilled trade is an option to think about that could provide you with a more stable career in the future. Service trades, in particular, are consistently in demand since no matter what’s happening in the world, we’ll always need skilled people to fix our plumbing, electrical, appliances, etc. Below are some of the skilled trades that are highly in demand at the moment. 

●      Repair and maintenance technicians

●      Construction trades

●      Farm equipment technicians

●      Heavy-duty mechanics

●      Diesel mechanics

●      Truck drivers

Skilled trades are an integral part of our daily lives, whether we know it or not. From planning your grocery schedule and doing your dishes to teaching yourself how to make improvements to your home, learning new skills will keep you independent and savvy with your money. And you never know, maybe it’ll even become a career!

You might be wondering what to do with the waste during your kitchen remodeling. You’ll find that there are many different ways of dealing with waste during this process, but you should try to use organic materials as much as possible. It’s important to recycle and compost, but it’s also very important not to put any excess burden on the environment by adding too much waste back into it. Let’s see some solutions for dealing with waste in your kitchen!

LARGE TRASH BINS

One of the simplest solutions for dealing with kitchen remodeling waste is to simply place one or more large trash bins in the area where you’re working. Be sure to keep them far away from food preparation surfaces, and clean them out regularly so that there isn’t anything rotting inside. If you feel that you’ll be making a lot of mess and waste, you can go for Gordon Park skip bin hire to put all that waste in large containers and have them shipped. This is one of the best options because it removes the burden from your shoulders.

REDIRECT YOUR KITCHEN SINK DRAINS

Your sink drains could be another source of organic materials for composting or recycling during your kitchen remodeling project. You can redirect them to large containers so that you can keep organic kitchen waste contained while it’s working its way through the composting process. Be aware that some of these materials might need to be treated before they can go into general compost piles, so don’t just toss everything into one container!

KEEP A DUSTPAN NEARBY

You’ll probably create a lot of dust during your kitchen remodeling project. Even if you’re wearing masks and gloves, there will be small particles in the air (and coating every surface) of your home. You can make it easier on yourself by keeping a small dustpan or shovel nearby at all times. This way, when you knock down insulation or other debris around your home, it can easily get swept up.

USE AS MUCH RECYCLED AND RECYCLABLE MATERIAL AS POSSIBLE

This is true for any project, but it’s very important for kitchen remodeling projects in particular. If you use as much recycled material as possible, then it will be easier to recycle or compost the rest of your waste materials after your project is complete. Even if you have to pay more upfront, you’ll save money later on because there won’t be so much waste to deal with. During your kitchen renovation project always remember your local recycling plant so that you have a place to deposit all of those recycling materials when it’s time for them to go! Not every plant accepts every material, so check beforehand to see what’s accepted and what isn’t. You don’t want to create more waste than necessary during your kitchen renovation project! One way that you can reduce your overall waste despite using many different products is by using reusable materials whenever possible. Instead of buying disposable pans and trays, see if you can find reusable pans and trays that you can bring back with you when your project is over. You’ll also probably be needing lots of cardboard boxes during your kitchen remodeling project so that all of your unwanted materials and belongings can be easily and safely transported to a storage unit or new home.

CLEAN UP PROPERLY

One way to reduce waste during kitchen remodeling projects, or any other type of renovation project for that matter, is to clean up properly after yourself once the job has been completed. Make sure that everything has been completely cleaned before you leave the scene so that you don’t have too much cleaning up to do later on! If something goes wrong, don’t feel pressured into doing more than necessary to fix it. If there are materials that you don’t want around your property anymore, make sure they’re gone before the actual kitchen remodeling project begins. This will save you time later on as well as reduce the overall amount of waste that has to be dealt with after all is said and done! If you have asbestos insulation, take care of it properly by hiring a contractor who specializes in this material before the renovation begins. If there is a problem that can’t be dealt with, then just remember that other types of materials often look very similar so always double-check to make sure you’re not accidentally exposing yourself to something dangerous!

The process of remodeling your kitchen is fun but it can be difficult to deal with the waste materials that are created. These tips will hopefully help you to create as little waste as possible so that you have a safer, cleaner remodeling experience!

Water damage can come about in many ways, but it is always inconvenient and costly. Floods are the worst culprits of water damage for many reasons, including the fact that they may affect an entire building or area. Because of this, floodwaters must be pushed out quickly before mold begins to grow. Whether you are suffering from flooding at home or the office, it may be in your best interest to learn more about water damage restoration. These four facts about flood and water damage restoration may help you understand what to do if you suffer from this type of damage.

WHAT ARE THE COMMON CAUSES OF WATER DAMAGE?

One of the most common causes of water damage is leaks. These can happen from several sources, including plumbing, roofs, and even windows. Water seeping through cracks is one of the most difficult types to detect because it goes quietly until it has soaked everything into a soggy mess. Other less noticeable sources include broken appliances that spray water or sewage that backs up into a building due to blockage. Whatever caused your water damage, you need a restoration plan as quickly as possible.

Regardless of how it occurs, water damage often results in additional damage to the building’s structure. Water that remains for too long will weaken the integrity of walls and floors, which means you can expect more problems if they are not repaired immediately. However, avoid trying to repair anything by yourself, and instead call for professional help, by reaching out to reputable water restoration companies. Even a single mistake could make the problem worse and end up costing more money in repairs, time lost from work, and so on.

WHAT ARE THE PROPER PROCEDURES FOR WATER DAMAGE RESTORATION?

As mentioned earlier, water damage restoration is a multi-stage process. The first step in this process should be to turn off the power by shutting off circuit breakers and removing fuses from the fuse box to prevent short-circuiting. You also need to remove personal items that have been soaked. This will prevent them from being damaged further when your building’s structure begins to dry out.

While you are repairing the secondary damage caused by flooding, professionals need to begin drying out your walls and floors. This ensures that mold does not start growing before the building has had a chance to fully dry out. Once everything is ready, humidity can be brought down within 24 hours using dehumidifiers or other equipment designed specifically for this purpose.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WATER DAMAGE RESTORATION AND FLOOD CLEANUP

Water damage restoration is not the same as flood cleanup. Some companies specialize in one but not the other, even though both types of water damage require similar skills and equipment. However, restoring water damage after floods is more difficult because floodwaters are only the beginning of the problem. They leave after-effects, including mud and other debris that can be hazardous to your health. Flood damage restoration also involves cleaning up floodwaters that may have contaminated anything they touched, including your personal belongings. 

On the other hand, water damage caused by leaks or broken appliances is easier to repair because they are less likely to leave extensive after-effects. This makes them easier to clean up, however they also require professionals with the equipment and skills necessary to restore things such as air conditioning, water heaters, and other plumbing.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE WATER DAMAGE RESTORATION PROBLEMS

If your building has already suffered water damage during floods or leaks, then you should take steps immediately to prevent further damage. This could include removing sections of walls that have been soaked. However, if you do not want this kind of demolition work done in your building, then you should turn off all power and start drying out your structure. While waiting for professional help, go through the damaged areas and remove items that are valuable enough to risk being damaged by mold or other contaminants left behind by floodwaters.

When working with water damage, it is best to act quickly. A little bit of neglect can lead to big problems down the road that require you to invest more time and money into fixing them. This means that waiting too long before hiring help or starting work yourself could end up costing you even more money in repairs later on. To avoid these kinds of problems hire professionals that you can trust, and work with them to clean up the mess left behind by water damage.

Water damage restoration is not a one-person job. It requires specific skills and experience to get the best results. Even if you try to handle it yourself, there are potential accidents that can’t be dealt with without professional help. However, what you can do is to do your best to prevent these issues from occurring in the first place.  Things like using your dishwasher correctly, not flushing away non-organic substances down toilets, and following guidelines on how to use appliances can reduce the risk of water damage in your home. So, keep these things in mind next time you notice a sign of water damage in your home, act quickly and save yourself from more serious issues, at least.

Adding in a new small bathroom or looking to renovate the bathroom you already have? It’s a good idea to look at other bathrooms to get an idea of what you’d like the remodel to look like.

When you add white to the bathroom it surely makes the bathroom way brighter and inviting. Everything looks well lit and everything matches white when it comes to choosing all of the other materials and decorations.

Using tile is a great way of making your bathroom have a theme and match. The tile can be used to tie in the appliances and make the bathroom look more pleasing to the eye.

Sage green is making it’s come back in 2022! Almost everything matches with sage green, and all of those plant lovers out there love to incorporate it because it looks so good with plants.

Adding a pop of color with the cabinets is a great way to make a statement without having multiple colors in your bathroom or having the bathroom any other color than white.

Farmhouse aesthetics are making a come back as well, and this bathroom is definitely inspired by it. The rug is a pop of color but adds so much detail without overwhelming the bathroom.

Blue, white and gold really compliment each other, and compliment even better when it’s in a tight space like a small bathroom. The colors just go so well together.

Need storage space but don’t like the look of cabinets? This small bathroom is the perfect example of adding storage directly on the wall for all of the bathroom necessities.

Do you want to incorporate your washer and dryer into the bathroom but don’t know how? This is a great way of adding them into the corner but still making it look nice and neat.

In really tight spaces, to make a statement in the bathroom it’s always a good idea to do a textured floor to bring some type of pattern.

Adding different textures makes them both stand out better and give more dimension in the room.

Another beautiful option is adding wallpaper into the room to give the room dimension. A cute vanity and nice wallpaper can really bring the bathroom together.

Small pops of black can really compliment the white in the bathroom and make it look even brighter.

Make the bathroom inspirational! Add pops of color on the shower curtain or the carpet.

A minimalist bathroom but still looks so spacious.
