DIY “Next Steps”

Putting the “Know how” into Practice

This half-day DIY course follows on from our Nailing it! DIY for Beginners Course.

Put the knowledge into practice.

What you will learn….

Gain the expertise and knowledge to drill into solid walls with confidence. Don’t let the process of drilling into a wall overwhelm you, especially when it comes to choosing the right drill bit.

At bePractical DIY, we are here to guide you through this process, demystifying it and equipping you with the essential know-how to tackle this task confidently in your own home.

Finally we will put this all together, and work through some common DIY scenarios: putting up shelves/curtain rails/toilet roll holders

Basically, you will get lots of  practice attaching stuff to walls.

By the end of the workshop, you will be itching to go home, dig out the shelf that you bought in Ikea all those months ago, and put it up on the wall.

What we provide......

We will provide all materials, tools etc. However, if you want to bring along your own tools, ongoing projects etc. then feel free to do so.

We also have hot drinks - tea, coffee etc. Feel free to bring your own additional refreshments, if you want to.

What should you bring......

We recommend wearing old clothing, and sturdy shoes.
If you would like to bring your own PPE (Personal Protectve Equipment), please feel free to do so. We will proide PPE, but we know that some people would prefer to use their own. (We recommend that you mark them up with your names, so that you can identify them)
