Lockdown & “Home work”

I was wondering what to write next, sitting home under lockdown when my daughter recommended why not write something on what folks should do for home improvement now that Modiji has bound all of us down by another three weeks. Great idea I thought, rather get people to do something productive than twiddle their thumbs and wonder what next.

On doing some research I find that there is some good stuff that has already been written on home improvement and maintenance on this blog itself over the last 9 years. Hence, first I am reposting links to these earlier posts. Once you have gone through the same, please comment and provide feedback on any specific topics that you would like me to cover, shall look forward.

Here are the links to the earlier posts on the subject of Home Improvement & Maintenance

Happy reading

Cheers
