Podcast: Getting started with DIY projects. Step 1…#DIY Courage

You know what the biggest question lots of people have about DIY projects: It’s not about what to do. It’s about how to get started.

What tools do I need? What kind of mess is this going to make? How long does it take? Can I really do this?

First, the answer to the last question: YES! Yes, you can.

If you’re asking ‘Where do I start’?, this show is all about you. But not just for you. Even seasoned DIYers benefit from hearing how other people rock their projects and how-to.

DIY Network’s landscape, design, and DIY power broker Sara Bendrick joins power tool empower-er Pretty Handy Girl Brittany Bailey to talk DIY courage and share the things they’ve learned getting started on their DIY projects to help you get started with yours.

We’ll cover the bases from Sara’s beloved landscaping to tools to projects to working with your spouse, woodworking and more.
