Getting stuck into projects in autumn

[Jason]

Workshop community update #11

It’s the start of autumn and soon the weather will be getting cooler, providing the opportunity to get stuck into the garden and any D.I.Y. projects you’ve been neglecting.

Workshop members have already started sharing their plans for what to plant in the garden during autumn, and we’re keen to hear from you about what you hope to do in the coming months.  

Perhaps you’ll take inspiration from @JDG and attack the garden with pruning and mulching, or get on your hands and knees like @DIY_Dan to strip back and sand the deck.

Here’s some other highlights from Workshop posts in the past week:

• @Dan's tips for spray painting

• Homemade mailboxes

• Advice for a watering system for a balcony

• Help with installing new flooring on top of old tiles

• Thoughts on timber benchtops in the kitchen.

There were also plenty of members asking for assistance in the past week. Can you help on these requests from Workshop members?

• Advice for dealing with curling leaves on a citrus tree

• How to avoid brush marks and bubbles when varnishing timber

• Help with painting an internal brick wall.

Many thanks to all Workshop contributors in the past week. The members who received the most likes for their posts in the past seven days were @aly, @kaylah_rose, @Darren, @JDG and @DIY_Dan.

Looking forward to seeing what you all get up in the next week.
