Getting stuck in over Easter

[Jason]

Workshop community update #14

Hi all,

Hope you had a happy and safe Easter break, and enjoyed some time relaxing and having fun with friends and family. For those who were picking up the tools, getting stuck into the garden or doing some odd jobs around the house, I hope you also got plenty of work done.

With the weather more conducive to rolling up the sleeves and pottering around the house and garden, Easter is traditionally a time when many of us get stuck into new projects. Please let us know what you’ve been up to.

The Workshop team has been busy with some renovation work of our own. We’re making some changes to the site based on your feedback to make the site even easier to use, particularly for newcomers to the community. We’re also making some additions to better showcase the most popular members and content. Look out for the changes rolling out over the next few weeks, and please let us know if you have any feedback or need a hand getting the most from the site.

Did you see @Darren's fantastic post this week about how he built his vertical garden? It’s a great example of how we can get inspired from other Workshop members, learn something new, and hopefully avoid some mistakes along the way. Many thanks to Darren for sharing his experiences in such an informative and amusing manner. Make sure you check it out.  

Other popular posts from the past fortnight include:

• A gorgeous floating planter box from @ProjectPete

• Discussion on the strengths and weaknesses of under-mounted versus flush-mounted kitchen sinks

• A D.I.Y. bed skirt from @Haley

• A discussion on the hardest things to clean in your house

• An interesting article on the push to keep old trades alive.

It’s also great to see Workshop members regularly sharing images on the gallery. Some interesting recent photos include louvers on bifold doors, a polished concrete coffee table from @Visionseal, 3D wall panels, hidden fridges, rooftop gardens, and a striking timber deck.

Many thanks to all contributors to Workshop over the past week. Our top members in the past seven days were @Darren, @ProjectPete, @Haley, @rosstified and @KingStreetReno. We really appreciate your contribution and look forward to more of your posts.
