🛑 5 Common DIY Mistakes (and How to Avoid Them)

Doing it yourself saves money—until it doesn’t. Watch out for these pitfalls:

🔹 1. Using the Wrong Anchors

Drywall anchors vs. studs matter when you’re hanging heavy items.

🔹 2. Over-Tightening Screws

Strips holes and damages materials.

🔹 3. Skipping Surface Prep

Paint won’t stick to dirty walls.

🔹 4. Ignoring Manufacturer Instructions

They exist for a reason.

🔹 5. Not Measuring Twice

Cut once, regret forever.
