DIY influencer Jasmine Gurney has documented an impressive and exhausting sounding list of tasks on Instagram.
She has torn down partition walls, replaced flooring, erected a fence, insulated and boarded her loft, built an outdoor workshop, made custom cabinetry, moved plug sockets, made her son his first bed and has been building him a treehouse.
Eight months pregnant, the former marketer is now racing to finish building a fitted wardrobe before the new baby arrives.
“I like proving people wrong,” says Jasmine, 33, from Bedfordshire, who says she’s been trolled by people questioning her techniques but they just “spur me on more”.
“I’m showing and empowering other women to do it,” she says.
“I’ve shown me doing things whilst pregnant, I’ve had my firstborn strapped to me in a baby carrier while doing things.
“I’m just showing that we are capable, we are interested in this sort of stuff and… we’re sick of waiting around for six months for our husbands to pick up the tools and do it in most cases.”
