Everyday Resiliency shares projects I've done myself, for general information. Please read this before trying any of them.

Not professional advice

I'm not a licensed electrician, plumber, contractor, engineer, financial advisor or other professional. Nothing on this site is professional advice, and it isn't a substitute for advice from someone qualified who knows your situation.

Safety first

Electricity, plumbing, gas, ladders, tools and home systems can be dangerous and can cause injury, fire, flooding or property damage.

• Follow the manufacturer's instructions and warnings for every product.
• Follow your local building and electrical codes, and get permits where they're required.
• Don't work on wiring or circuits unless you know what you're doing. Turn off power at the breaker first.
• If you're unsure about any step, stop and talk to a qualified professional.

Your home is different

Homes, equipment, providers and products vary, and they change over time. What worked for me may not work, or may not be safe, in your situation. Prices, product details and features may also have changed since I wrote about them. Check the details yourself before you buy or build anything.

Money projects

Projects about money and finances describe what I do and why. They aren't financial, tax or legal advice. Talk to a qualified professional before making financial decisions.

Your responsibility

You decide whether a project is right for you, and you do it at your own discretion and risk. I'm not responsible for any loss, damage or injury that results from using information on this site.

Products and links

Products I name are ones I bought and use. I'm not sponsored by any company, and links aren't affiliate links. If that ever changes, I'll say so clearly. Links to other sites are for convenience; I don't control their content.

Questions

If you have questions about whether a project is safe or right for your home, talk to a licensed professional in your area.
