Hello everyone, this is DIY Renova.

This time, we will introduce how to find a one-off helper or human resources for "self-DIY", including specific examples and points to be aware of.Many people probably say, "I want to renovate or renovate my home, but how much can I do on my own?" or "I want to keep my money as low as possible, but I want a little help."However, even if you actually try to do it all yourself, it often doesn't go smoothly due to time constraints and problems with specialized knowledge and tools.

In such cases, by making good use of "one-off helpers," the possibility of achieving high-quality DIY renovations while keeping costs down will greatly increase.This time, we will tell you about the talent you can search in various ways and tips on how to find them.

In fact, there are a wide range of options and methods for self-renovation.Moreover, it's easy to find ways to suit your style and budget, such as "Enjoy DIY with thorough expert support" and "Create a little bit while involving family and acquaintances."We would be happy if this article made a new discovery that "There is also a way to find a self-DIY helper."

Now let's start by explaining in order the typical ways to find one-off helpers.

friend

First of all, as a one-off helper, "What you should have after all is friends."It's especially encouraging to have friends who like DIY.If you have friends who are interested in renovations and renovations, or friends who are good at making DIY, you can enjoy working together.

However, even if you simply say "rely relying on a friend," you may be wondering what specific tasks to ask for.Painting, doing small disassembly work, and furniture assembly are recommended as it is relatively easy for even amateurs to do.Even if you feel like you need a little specialization, such as "replacing wallpaper," if you're a hobby of DIY, they'll often help you.

Also, when asking a friend, the key is to "give a good thank you."Even if you don't have to pay part-time work fees, friendships will continue to be a happy future by taking care to ensure that the other person can participate in the task comfortably, such as preparing food and drinks to entertain you, or giving away gifts as a thank you gift.If the work is likely to be a major project, it is also important to make sure the scope of work is clear, such as "I will do everything close to you on my own, but I will leave the basics and electrical wiring to the experts."

For more detailed examples of use, such as "I would like you to help me with some DIY work" or "I would like you to do this one-off," please also refer to the article below.

A major attraction is that if you communicate well so that your friends and acquaintances can make good use of the areas they are good at, you can continue renovating while keeping costs down.

Silver Human Resources Center(S Mie and S Mie)

The Silver Human Resources Center is often talked about for its DIY and self-renovation.It is also a place where elderly people can utilize the wealth of knowledge and experience they have cultivated.In some areas, you can ask for light work such as helping with small renovations or weeding the garden.The advantage is that it is relatively cheap and the match is good.

However, some people may be surprised when they hear, "There are ways to complete renovations cheaper than Silver Human Resources Centers."In fact, there are cases where people who have been active as craftsmen for many years, after retirement will receive "only work from acquaintances as a reward of pocket money."These people may say things like, "I have leftover materials and wood that I stock up on," or "I do it as a hobby, so I take on it at a low price."

Some of the surprising experiences include "We had the construction work of everything from the tangled house to new joists, from the joists to flooring and flooring to the flooring, which was completely ruined by termites, for around 30,000 yen in 8 tatami mats."However, these cases are mostly "through an acquaintance" or "not accepting anything other than referrals," so it may not be easy to find.If you find it by chance, you're "super lucky."

Even when using the Silver Human Resources Center, it is important to check in advance, such as "How much work can you provide?" and "How much experience will someone actually have?"If you would like to request specialized areas such as plumbing and electrical work that are difficult to extend DIY, contact the center and check whether there are any personnel available to handle it.Also, when performing major modifications that violate building regulations, you may have to ask a qualified person to do so.

Kurashi no Market (くらしのマーケット)

"Life Market" where you can get a comprehensive list of contractors' quotes, such as renovations, house cleaning, and air conditioner cleaning, can also be used as a way to find a one-off helper.If you want to properly separate the DIY area and the work area of ​​a contractor, they may be able to handle partial tasks such as, "I'll do the demolition myself, but I'd like to ask a professional for piping," or "I want to call a professional because it's difficult for an amateur to replace the floor."

It is especially easy to find if you look for individuals or small businesses when you have a desire to "prepare the materials costs yourself, so you can pay the amount of effort you have" or "you'll only help out with the parts," or you'll be able to find them.Large companies may have fixed basic plans and inflexible, but sole proprietors and small companies may be relatively flexible in dealing with them.

When using Kurashino Market, be sure to check the "reviews" and "ratings."Contractors who are compatible with DIY and self-renovation may have similar requests in the past to "contract only some of the work."If you have comments from word of mouth, such as "We were helped in making up for the DIY we were doing," or "We were given careful guidance down to the smallest details," it would be helpful.It will be easier to keep costs down if you properly communicate the following during your direct interactions: "We'll do this ourselves, so please only do this."

As stated, "In addition, articles about apps have been compiled separately here, so please read if you are interested," there are many other matching apps and services related to renovation and DIY.If you make good use of the app, you can easily connect directly with individuals with actual construction experience, and you can also have the advantage of being able to consult with them easily.

To love

"Aini" is known as a service that connects people through experiences and events.Originally, it mainly focused on agricultural experiences and local nature experiences, but recently it has been characterized by an increasing number of recruitment and holdings in a variety of genres, such as "living experiences" and "learning experiences."Here, there is a possibility that you can match "people who want to experience DIY or renovation work" with "people who actually want to help."

If you recruit people to hold a renovation experience event, they may come across participants who are interested in DIY.Rather than being a one-off helper, you take the stance of "have them help and experience together while having fun," but in the end, the situation can be no different from "getting them helping with your own renovation."

However, when using Aini, it is extremely important to thoroughly implement safety management.There are many places where dangers are hidden in DIY and renovation work sites, such as tools, stepladders, and materials.If you handle the power tools incorrectly, there is a risk of injury.It is important to keep "safety first", and to properly explain to those who want to experience it, and to obtain consent before proceeding with the work.

volunteer

When you hear the term "volunteer," you may think of disaster relief, local weeding, or activities recruited by NPOs, but in fact, you may find people who will volunteer to participate in DIY or renovations.

For example, there are cases where students who are interested in architecture-related work or those with no experience wanting to learn interior or carpentry, volunteer to help with the work while gaining on-site experience.If you have a certain level of "skills that can teach DIY," you could also consider "ensuring short-term labor by ensuring people who are interested in experience the work."

However, if you are involved as a volunteer, you will have to "not pay or pay only the transportation costs," so how to maintain the other person's motivation is the key.If we can provide the benefits of "actually renovating a house together and learning about it there" and "participating in the work while being taught by a craftsman," even volunteers may attract surprisingly many people.

Also, when recruiting volunteers, it is important to provide details including the actual scope of work, duration, and whether or not they will stay overnight (if you are coming from afar).Rather than saying "Please feel free to come anytime," it is easier to clarify the conditions, such as "We will mainly be able to help you with the flooring from certain dates to whenever you want. Beginners are welcome."

Nowadays, there are quite a few people looking for X!

Jimoty

Jimoti, which can be used as a local bulletin board, can also be used as a place to search for one-time DIY or renovation supporters.Jimoti not only sells unwanted items and sells second-hand items, but also many posts saying "looking for helpers" and "We'll help you."Since you can search for people only in the area where you live, there are advantages such as "there is little transportation costs" and "there is a close distance so it's easy to come by easily."

For example, if you post specific tasks such as "people who can help you with changing wallpaper" or "people who can help you build a wood deck in your garden," you may receive contact from people who are interested.Of course, it is important to clearly state the conditions, such as "experienced people welcome," "unexperienced" and "all of the materials and tools are available."

However, when recruiting at Jimoti, there is a side to it that you don't know what kind of person will apply, so careful interaction and identification are required.The general procedure is to check applicants' past posting history and ratings (if any), and to carefully check any questions they have in exchange for messages before meeting them in person.As this will involve personal interaction, it is safe to discuss the scope of responsibility in the event of injury or damage during work to avoid any problems.

family

The last thing to mention is "with the help of your family."It's not so encouraging if the family can cooperate.Some of the cases include people with "old guys who can control yumbos," and the YouTube videos are also impressive!!

If your family has a heavy machinery license or has experienced carpenters, it will be a great force.

Of course, not all family members are interested in DIY, but if they can share their goal of "making memories of building a house together," it will be easier for them to cooperate.If you have children, parents and children can enjoy some of the processes, such as "painting paint on the wall" or "building a flower bed in the garden," and even elderly parents with plenty of experience may teach you "tips on how to use tools and how to set them up."

The advantage of working with your family is that it is "less shy and easy to consult and request."On the other hand, if you are a family, you tend to be spoiled, and there is a possibility that you will end up in trouble.Don't forget to say, "It's only because we're a family, so we can clearly express our gratitude and gratitude."Overall, the strength of a family can be an essential part of "making a home together while keeping costs down."

Conclusion

What did you think?This time, we discussed a variety of approaches, ranging from friends, Silver Human Resources Center, Life Market, Aini, volunteers, Jimoti and family, with the theme of "How to find a self-DIY one-off helper."When actually doing self-renovation, you may have understood that each method of searching has its characteristics, advantages, and points to be aware of.

The key to success in self-renovation is to determine how far you will go and where to start by using help from a helper or expert.By cutting into small pieces of work that is easy for even amateurs to do, tasks that are difficult to do, and on the other hand, difficult tasks that do not require equipment or specialized knowledge, you can increase the chances of the construction being carried out smoothly while reducing overall costs.

Furthermore, while doing DIY, unexpected parts may be damaged or specialized repairs may be required.In that case, consider "partially asking a professional."For example, qualifications and experience refer to things like "repairing floors due to termite damage," "removing electrical wiring," and "replacing water supply and drainage equipment."It is often easier to get the help of a professional company to complete the renovation safely and securely.The best way to self-renovate is to have fun while doing it without any effort, so it's a good idea to separate it from "we will do it ourselves" or "we will leave this to one-off helpers or experts."

Another thing to keep in mind when recruiting helpers is to create rules to avoid trouble.It is ideal to check in advance the scope of the outsourcing, such as the work time, compensation, the scope of actual expenses settlement, and the responsibility in case of injury or damage.Even among individuals, if you keep records of documents and messages exchanged, and if both parties are satisfied, you will be able to feel more secure.

Of course, the same can be said for "when asking friends or family."Because we are close friends, if we think, "You can understand without saying anything," it can lead to misunderstandings later on.By discussing role division and sharing progress regularly, you should be able to carry out DIY renovations more smoothly and enjoyably.

This has been a long time, but I hope that everyone who has read this far will be able to enjoy the DIY renovations.We hope you will feel even a little bit like, "There's a way to do this," and "I think I can do it myself."Find a one-off helper and make good use of it, and achieve fun and satisfying self-renovation.
