choice of videos to watch. Whether plumbing or wiring a house, fitting a bath or sink, tiling walls or floors, decorating, insulating, drywalling or plaster boarding, you will have many, many videos to choose from. The list is endless, and these videos will also go into the more intricate details, such as “How to fit a tap,” “How to fit a door hinge,” or “How to mix concrete.” YouTube has an active DIY community where you can interact with creators, ask questions, and share your own experiences. You can leave comments, join discussions, and even connect with like-minded DIY enthusiasts. If you encounter a problem, there will always be someone around to give you advice.
Beyond YouTube, having access to the internet and using a search engine such as Google will provide you with answers to many other construction process queries. For example, you can look for “What ratio of sand and cement do I need to make mortar?” Or, if you wish to be as environmentally conscious as possible with your construction, you can search for “Eco-friendly insulation.” There really isn’t much you can’t learn about building a property on the internet these days. What we would advise, though, is to be thorough in your research and cross-check the information you get: information provided is often opinion-based, as opposed to verified facts.
