In the depths of winter

Workshop community update #29

Hi all,

It’s certainly felt like the depths of winter in many parts of Australia this week. I hope you’ve all managed to stay warm while keeping your power bill as low as possible.

I encourage you to add to our latest poll about heating and also join the discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of different heating systems to assist other Workshop members.

We also had another more light-hearted poll this week and the verdict was clear – Workshop members would much rather live without a dishwasher than part with their beloved television. I’m sure I’m like most community members and don’t ever want to part with either device, although @ro-novation already happily lives without both!

There’s been plenty of interesting discussions and projects on the site recently. We really appreciate you sharing your experiences and knowledge and encourage everyone to jump in regardless of their knowledge, experience or level of expertise. Everyone has to start from somewhere…

Some of the most popular posts from the past week included:

• Painting advice for @KingStreetReno and @Gwandalan_Tales tackling 80s aluminium doors and blackboard paint for a playroom

• Advice for @John1 who is considering a new pressure washer

• Interesting discussion on the strange things neighbours can get up to and what new skills members are learning

• Help for @Janina_G with identifying some building materials

• Workshop members chatting about whether they wear shoes in the house

• Favourite slow cooker recipes from the community.

Meanwhile on the Gallery, don’t miss @Trying She Shed renovation and an amazing greenhouse made from recycled bottles. 

Our top contributors to Workshop over the past week were @Brad, @darylhewston, @John1, @Baretta11 and @Darren. Many thanks for your fantastic contribution.

Thanks again for joining in the discussion here on Workshop and please let me know if you need a hand getting the most from the site.
