    Whether you’ve been following the UK Oak Doors blog for years, or minutes, you may have noticed that our DIY calendar series was finally completed in December! That’s twelve months of DIY projects, home improvements, maintenance tasks and advice spread out across the year!

    We started the calendar after we noticed high levels of DIY-burnout after the New Year; starting one too many ambitious projects at once and leaving them all half completed two months later (we’ve all been there). The calendar is designed to help you spread out these tasks across the year and keep your sanity in check. Not only does the calendar project explain the best tasks to be undertaken each month (painting your garden fence in January only for the drizzle to ruin your hard work is a serious motivation killer!) but we've taken the time to gather a list of all the tools you need to complete each job, and even included step-by-step instructions so you can get the job done right, first time. Now, we know it might not always be convenient for you to come back to the UK Oak Doors site at the start of each month to make a note of the tools you need and how to do each task, so we've turned our calendar series into a nifty little eBook for you to download on to your electronic reading device, tablet, smartphone or computer.

    About the author

    Will Wheat

    William has spent over a decade working with oak and timber doors — the grades and the grain, the construction and ironmongery, the finishes, and, above all, how a door performs once it's hung and facing the British weather. At UK Oak Doors he brings that hands-on knowledge together with a real eye for how a solid oak door should look and last, whether it's a traditional panelled entrance or a fully glazed garden door. His guidance is practical and refreshingly free of jargon — clear, considered advice that helps homeowners and trade buyers alike choose the right door, measure with confidence and fit it properly, so it looks the part and stays that way for years.
