Re-decorating and DIY in later life

those DIY jobs that have been waiting for you (perhaps now you've got more time in
retirement), then we hope this selection of books and sites will help.
There is not only lots of information on these re-decorating and DIY sites to help you
plan, but also the opportunity to try out colour schemes to help you make decisions. You
can also get DIY tips and techniques, guides, calculators and design ideas - everything
you need to help make the most of your time and money.
