Walkthroughs our team is reading

How this works

Every walkthrough on I Do It Yourself is written by someone who’s actually done the job — Mick on the tools in Newcastle, Jen painting in Melbourne, Ash sparking in Adelaide, Tomo plumbing in Brisbane, Priya cleaning in Sydney, Cal outdoor and landscaping in Perth, Steve flooring and wet-areas in the Adelaide Hills. We’re a small team of working tradies and serious DIYers, and we write the kind of step-by-step guides we wish we’d had on our first job.

Looking for something specific? Use the search bar above, or browse the categories. We add new walkthroughs every week.

Got a how-to of your own?

If you’re a working tradie or a competent DIYer with a method that works, we publish guest walkthroughs and credit you with a link back to your business. Read the submission guide to get involved.
