So… You’ve Decided to DIY the Whole House?
Brave. Slightly unhinged. We like you already.
Life Project Lab is here to help you figure out what you need, how much you need and where the hell to start — without making you feel like you should already know what a stud, joist or mitre actually is.
You’ve Got The Pinterest Board.

You don’t need to be a builder. You don’t need a toolbox worth £4,000. And you definitely don’t need to pretend you understand what the bloke in the YouTube video just said.
You just need someone to break the project down into normal human language.
That’s what Life Project Lab is for.
