Hello everyone, it's Renova from Japan.

When you are doing DIY and renovations, there will be situations when it takes a long time or is difficult to do the heavy lifting on your own. At such times, asking a friend or a helper for a day can make the work go more smoothly and provide fun memories.

Even if you think it is difficult to give detailed work instructions, ask them to work around simple tasks and situations where horsepower is needed!

Surprisingly, there are many people around who are interested in DIY.

This article therefore presents some tasks that are efficient and useful if you ask for help.

So, here you go.

Varnishing

Varnishing is labour-intensive and requires concentration to achieve an even finish. The more manpower you have, the quicker you can get it done, especially when working on large areas.

Enlist the help of a friend to carefully apply the varnish and wait for it to dry before moving on to the next step.

It is more efficient to divide up the work, with one person applying the paint and one person wiping the surrounding area. In addition, having more than one person working on the job prevents unevenness in the paintwork and makes the finish even more beautiful.

Mortar coating

Mortar is hard work, both mixing and applying. If there is a large amount of mortar, having the work of mixing shared between you will allow you to continue working smoothly without tiring yourself out. In addition, more than one person can work on the job to ensure an even application and a beautiful finish.

Even novice helpers can contribute by holding walls and floors and preparing tools in a supportive role.

Even the smallest tasks, such as preparing the substrate and checking it is dry, can be split up to make the whole process go more smoothly!

Painting (houses, fences, etc.)

Painting is a simple but time-consuming task. It relies on the help of friends, especially when covering large areas, such as large walls and exteriors.

It is easier to work if you divide the work between different roles, such as having the roller paint large surfaces while you are in charge of the details and finishing touches.

If more than one person works on a job, it dries faster and it is easier to move on to the next process. Work can also be carried out more efficiently if paint mixing and tool cleaning is shared.

Weeding

Tidying up the garden and grounds is an essential part of DIY, but weeding is a surprisingly painstaking task. If you invite a friend or helper to work with you, you can get it looking nice and tidy in no time. Having a good conversation while doing it will make the work less strenuous.

It is also a good memory to share the sense of achievement after weeding with others!

With helpers, every corner of the garden can be cleaned and the work of sorting plants and weeds can be done.

Cleaning, disposal and segregation

Cleaning is essential between and at the end of renovation and DIY processes. Cleaning is a simple task, but with a helping hand it can be done surprisingly quickly. Getting help to organise tools and materials or to remove dust and dirt will make it easier to start the next task with a good feeling. The help of a helper is particularly helpful when it comes to carrying out heavy rubbish, sweeping the floor after work, and wiping down glass and windows, as these tasks are difficult for one person to do alone. As a final fine finishing touch, cleaning hard-to-reach areas is also helpful.

Operation

When using a car to procure materials or transport materials, it is very helpful if you can get help driving. If you ask them to pick up the materials you need while you concentrate on your own work, or ask them to drive you back home, it will make your work much more efficient.

Having a driver role is very useful, especially when transporting large materials or when you need to visit several shops. Make sure you drive safely and work smoothly with more than one person.

Moving heavy furniture

Moving heavy furniture and materials during DIY is inevitable. These tasks can be carried out more smoothly if several people work together.

Moving furniture, especially large pieces or at difficult angles, can be done safely with the help of a helper. It is effective not only to move furniture, but also to make adjustments to the new arrangement together.

Finishing decoration

Decorating is another fun task to finish off after DIY has been completed. By working with friends on decorating the walls and arranging accessories, you can create a beautiful space where your sense of style comes alive.

Multiple people sharing ideas can lead to new discoveries and ingenuity.

Finding help can be done online.

If there is no one close by to request a helper, it is possible to solicit applications online.

Famous examples include Jimoty and Activo.

It is also possible to recruit people with a timey, for example.

However, please exorcise the latest safety precautions! (To avoid looking like a blackbaiter: ！！！！！)

Summary

DIY and renovations are a joy to create with your own hands, but the pleasure is doubled when you do it with a group of friends. Having a friend or a helper for the day will not only make the work more efficient, but will also create fun memories.

Teamwork doubles the sense of achievement in tasks that would be difficult to carry out on your own.

I half wrote this for myself, but I hope it will be of help to someone else.
