Is this supposed to motivate you to go out and create a beautiful garden of your own?

This great Shakespearean reference is not about whether to renovate or not (of course do it!), it’s whether or not you can do it all by yourself.

I know we’re all DIY warriors, that’s why we’re here, but we can’t be afraid to hire help.It’s not only about ability, you also need to value your time.Sometimes it’s cheaper to hire out even the simplest tasks so you can focus on the more complex issues.

I’m still coming to terms with hiring a crew to do demolition but it was clearly the best decision.Editorial note:  Courtenay here, yes.. 2.

Isolate the work area.

Any worthy contractor will hang plastic to isolate the work area and control dust.So let me share with you the basic concept of how you can make this thing make sense for you and then I’ll give you a little tour around.

Think about how you would organize pantry items on a regular, straight shelf.You would have a space for each item along the front of each shelf and then if you had any duplicate items, you would place those in a row behind that same item.

So this works exactly the same way, only circular!.Treat the outer edge of the circle as the front of the shelf, that way as you turn the lazy-susan around, you can see everything that you’ve got, with no mystery items getting stuck somewhere in no-man’s-land in the middle.. You can then stick any duplicate items in a row behind that same item, heading back towards the center of the circle.
