QUESTION ➡️ Does anyone else think the world has gone a bit mad lately? It's been a rough few months with interest rates being at an all-time high and the cost of living constantly on the rise. It can feel like we're on a never-ending merry-go-round of work, bills, and trying to make ends meet. I just wanted to take a moment to check in and see how everyone is holding up??

Are you feeling the strain of trying to keep up? Do you have any tips or tricks that have helped you stay afloat?

I wanted to put barn doors on the laundry, main bathroom and ensuite in this little flip house. They would save space and also add a nice feature.

I got my plasterer to square-set the doorways, then I went to a junk yard to pick up some oversized solid doors to hang. My friend @rcmwagga helped me cut them down and hang them.

I bought the tracks from eBay but I bought a new flat bar for the top and drilled holes to suit the existing studs. The tracks that come pre-drilled in a kit would only work if your door was hollow and you could use plugs to hang it. But these were heavy! I’ve got a highlight with more info on why I did this.

Then I put on some trim, painted it up and added a handle from @lemaardoorhardware available at Bunnings.

Ps. The doors cost $20 each! Then the track, trim and handle. Maybe ended up being $150 each (finished!). 😀

SWIPE ➡️ What is the cost of kitchen renovations?

• Budget kitchens and materials range from $10,000 to $25,000
• Mid-range and standard materials and kitchens range between $20,000 and $45,000
• High-end and luxury kitchens start at $45,000+

As a rule of thumb, a kitchen renovation budget should be around 3-8% of a home's value. Therefore, if your home is worth $500,000, you can safely spend between $15,000 and $40,000 without overcapitalising.

DIY vinyl flooring was worth the hassle! The old lino (layers of it!) plus tiles had to come up. Then there was glue scraping, a jackhammer and lot of sweat (with a few tears)…. But over the course of a few weekends it finally came together. More in my highlights 😀
