Barry Juma

Barry enjoys building stuff from scratch. His love for DIY projects started as a young boy when he often (mostly unsuccessfully) repaired stuff around the house, and it has, since then, grown into a passion. Add to this a love for writing and education, he now shares his knowledge with the world by crafting guides related to home improvement.

When he's not working on his projects, he's probably curled up with a good book or watching the latest series on Netflix or perhaps sharing his thoughts with the world, through writing.
