“I think many people use [theredneck engineering] term when they see a project that utilizes materials, tools, or methods in ways other than they were originally intended to be used,” says experienced home DIYer and content writer atHardy Home DIY Solutions, John Coleman toBored Panda.“I am appreciative of the thought, creativity, and effort that goes into coming up with these unconventional solutions. However, I think it all comes down to the quality, durability, and visual appeal of the finished project,” he notes.

However, not everything can be DIYed, especially when we lack skills for it and Coleman seems to agree. “I think it is better to think twice before tackling a DIY project if you have no prior experience related to the project or have not researched the topic thoroughly. It is also important to consider what could happen if you mess up or if something goes wrong. Could significant damage be caused that is too costly to fix? Could you or someone else potentially get hurt?”

Even with over 20 years of experience doing home DIY projects and everyday maintenance tasks, there have been cases when he thought better of tackling a project. “I had reservations about my skill set or I had an uneasy feeling about it. I ended up hiring a professional and felt confident with the results when the project was completed,” he shared.

The DIY tasks (if the person doesn’t have the skills for it) that Coleman advises to skip altogether are electrical projects or structure-altering projects. “If electrical projects are not wired correctly, it could either not work, cause a fire, or result in an injury. Altering a structure, such as removing walls or cutting joists, could compromise the stability of the whole structure,” he warns.

Coleman also agreed to provide us with a few tips on fixing things on the budget so it doesn’t turn out to be another case of redneck engineering. “The top tip I can offer is to be thorough with project planning. It is important to set a budget that allows for unexpected costs and then stick to it.”

Before speeding to the hardware store and buying the materials, he recommends breaking the project into smaller parts. “Price everything needed for each phase of the plan and then compare it to the set budget. If the cost is over your budget, then go back and downsize the plan, consider correct but lower-cost materials, or delay completing the project until the budget can be increased.”
