Welcome to the second series of First Rung from Stuff Homed. This year, we're looking at home renovations - how to get started, how to bring your dream designs to life, and how not to blow your budget. Over six half-hour episodes, we talk to builders, serial renovators and first-timers to get their DIY tips - and help you avoid repeating their renovation mistakes.
