Canadian society used to be more do-it-yourself. Ordinary people with day jobs used to paint their own homes, renovate their own basements and even build sheds and garages themselves. Regardless of the cause, three unfortunate ideas have set in to confirm the trend:

• Myth#2: Not Enough Time
• Myth#3: Good Tools Cost Too Much

Abandon these flawed ways of thinking and you’ll be that much closer to making good things happen directly in your home and yard – even if you only have enough money for materials. Read “Make Good Things Happen This DIY Season” for more on this.
