Five Projects You can Tackle in a Weekend
(BPT) - This time of year was made for
DIY projects. The weather is perfect, the
projects have mounted, you’ve got the time
and the motivation.
Now if only you had
the budget.
Not to worry, DIY
doesn’t have to be
synonymous with
expensive! There are
plenty of impactful
DIY projects that can
be tackled quickly and affordably in just
a single weekend. Below is a list of five
projects that you can use to scratch that
project itch without putting a noticeable dent
in your wallet.
Seal the Gaps
Hidden gaps and cracks in your home
could be allowing air to escape, making the
temperature in the house more difficult to
regulate and your energy bill more expensive.
Seal these gaps with an innovative air-sealing
insulating foam to help protect against air and
moisture infiltration. It will create a tighter
building envelope that helps to reduce your
energy waste and your monthly bill.
A Fresh Coat of Paint
How many times have you walked by that
wall, those cabinets or that wooden chair
and thought, “I should repaint that”? Painting
small spaces and furniture yourself is
an inexpensive project that can be finished
in a single weekend. Start picking colors
today. Once you’re done, you can feel proud
knowing that you put in the hard work to
give your home a fresh look.
Ward off Vermin
You’re not the only one who’s happy to see
that warmer weather has arrived. Mammals,
reptiles and insects are more active during
the warmer months. GREAT STUFF(TM)
Pestblock Insulating Foam Sealant helps
block vermin from
entering your home
through gaps, cracks
and holes. Spray the
foam to block these
points of entry and the
only guests you’ll greet
this season are those
you actually invited.
Update Window Treatments
If “treatment” is a generous word when
describing the accent pieces around your
windows, it’s time for an upgrade. Whether
curtains, blinds or drapes, window treatments
can be as cost effective as you want them to
be, so don’t be afraid to be picky. And once
you find treatments that appeal to you, use
them to block the sun on the hottest days to
reduce your energy expenses.
Expand Your DIY
Your DIY projects don’t have to be confined
to your home; they can also involve
your boat, RV or other vehicles. GREAT
STUFF(TM) Multipurpose Black Foam Sealant
can be used to fill unwanted gaps and
cracks in vehicles, allowing you to cruise
into vacation with no worries.
You can scratch that DIY itch without a
month-long commitment or draining your
bank account. All you have to do is pick the
projects that match your budget, your time
frame and your goals. And when they’re
done, you’ll have the rest of the season to
enjoy your new and improved home. To find
