1. Not Professional Advice
Everything I write on Liftshade is based strictly on my own trial and error with cosmetic home updates. I am not a professional carpenter, interior designer, or general contractor. The tutorials, tool tests, and design ideas shared here are strictly for informational and entertainment purposes.
2. Tool Safety and DIY Risks
Using power tools like miter saws and nail guns carries significant physical risks. You should always read the manufacturer instructions, wear appropriate safety gear like eye protection, and understand how a tool works before you turn it on. Any projects, cuts, or paint jobs you attempt based on this blog are done entirely at your own risk. You are solely responsible for your own safety and the outcome of your DIY projects.
3. Accuracy of Information
I write about what works in my specific house on my specific walls. Building materials, paint formulas, and room dimensions vary wildly. I do not guarantee that my methods are the absolute best way to do things or that a specific paint color will look the same in your lighting. Always test your own paint samples and measure your own walls.
4. Affiliate Links and Hardware Recommendations
I buy a lot of wood putty, primer, and brass hardware. Sometimes I will link to a specific product that actually leveled out well or shipped quickly. If I use an affiliate link where I earn a small commission from a purchase at no extra cost to you, I will always state it clearly at the top of the post. I only link to materials I genuinely use in my own house.
