If you had the time and money what would you want to build for home project?
mattmns said:Yeah I agree. I would design and build an entire hosue from the ground up, including the landscaping.
DocToxyn said:An outdoor, woodfired oven for breads, pizza, roasts. etc. It actually wouldn't be too unrealistic of a project and I plan on doing it someday, I just need to get one of those house things first.
Good question. Right now, the only thing that would be special is that I would have designed it myself. I just think it would be fun to do, I have not actually started working on it or anything.wolram said:What would be," special", about your house?

Ivan Seeking said:Don't be so quick to judge. I guess they are now getting regular home owners insurance for these, which is a big step towards the mainstream.
...and note that the second pig lived in a stick home; ie 2x4s.
The truth is though, we considered doing this but felt it was simply too risky. They look good on paper, but we're talking about our home! But if I had the money to risk...it would be fun.

I like my pet too much.
*Kia* said:hehehe I thought you meant home project as in project to do at home... not project to build a home!
Ah well my dream home... large U shaped bungalow, swimming pool (obviously enclosed by a conservatory so it is useable all year round), patio, pond, leafy garden, paddocks, stable courtyard, indoor and outdoor menage and preferably near the coast even though I am scared to death of the sea.
Some popular DIY home projects include painting walls, installing new flooring, creating a gallery wall, building furniture, and making a statement piece like a flower wall or hanging shelves.
There are a few ways to come up with ideas for a DIY project. You can browse through home improvement blogs and websites, look at home decor magazines, or even search for ideas on social media platforms like Pinterest or Instagram. You can also get inspiration from your own home or a friend's home and put your own twist on it.
Before starting a DIY project, it's important to consider your budget, time constraints, and skill level. You should also research the materials and tools needed for the project and make sure you have everything before starting. It's also a good idea to have a plan or guide to follow to ensure the project is completed successfully.
One way to save money on a DIY project is to repurpose or upcycle items you already have at home. You can also shop for materials and tools at discount stores or wait for sales to get a better deal. Another option is to borrow or rent tools instead of purchasing them.
To have a successful DIY project, it's important to have patience, attention to detail, and follow instructions carefully. It's also helpful to have a clean and organized workspace and to take breaks when needed. Don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it, and most importantly, have fun and be creative!
