Home improvement can be a wonderful thing, but it can also be a very frustrating turn of events. Life would be so much easier if we had all the tools we need in one centralised place. The nature of the beast dictates that we will lose at least 2 important tools a few days before the project kicks off. And they will not show their sorry faces again until a week or so after the darn thing ends. Well that magic tool box will never materialise, but we have the next best thing. There are hundreds of iOS apps that help the ‘home improver’ to tackle many difficult tasks without so much as a please or thank you. Please read the next few paragraphs for some details that will make you smile.

Dream Home, Dream Home Free - $2.99

This is a brilliant app that gives you some fantastic advice on how to improve your entire home! There is a bespoke section for each type of room and it has hundreds of clever ideas that can be tweaked and swapped for other features at the touch of the screen. The days of looking through magazines for some original ideas have long gone. There are a host of ideas for every single accessory you could imagine, and they have been suggested to the app by famous designers from across the globe! Simply pick a room and flip through the many suggestions, save the ones you like and carry on until you have the perfect blueprint. Forget about expensive opinionated designers, you have something far better and almost free!

iHandy Carpenter - $1.99

Who would have dreamed that a master carpenter could fit into a tiny little cell phone? Well the app is great but you still have to swing the odd hammer and use that saw ‘in anger’ a few times, but a lot of the guess work will be a bad memory. The application includes the following invaluable features and they are all extremely accurate:

· Ruler

· Protractor

· Spirit Level/Bubble Level

· Plumb bob

· Surface leveller

This array of measuring tools will ensure that you never have an uneven shelf or hang a painting badly again. Now if only they had a saw and hammer application…

Drywall Calculator - $0.99

If you have ever tried to work out the drywall amount required for a room, you will know what an unbelievable pain it can be. And we seldom get the calculation right until the third or fourth time. No such guesswork anymore, the drywall calculator is simply magical with such sums. The clever template design will allow for every single measurement to be input, and the resulting figures will be right on the money. It can even take out the doorways and windows as you continue to enter the relevant figures into this very clever database. For less than a US dollar, you are going to be saving a small fortune and a lot of red-faced embarrassment.
