Adding stakes to your plants can work wonders👇🏻

Stakes provide the necessary support for your plants to grow upwards, encouraging a more robust and healthy development.

🔍 How to Do It:

• Find a stake that’s appropriate for the size and type of your plant.
• Secure your plant to the stake but be gentle. Avoid tying it too tightly, as this can damage the stem.
• As your plant grows, adjust the ties and the stake position to ensure optimal support.

💡 Pro Tip: You can use various materials for stakes—bamboo, wood, or even metal, depending on your plant’s needs and your aesthetic preference.

Happy gardening! 🌼🌱

Ever wondered if you can use VJ in bathrooms?

Well, the answer is yes! I’ve personally used James Hardie Easycraft Wet Area Panels and Axon External Cladding in my projects. You can find both of these at Bunnings.

They’re a fantastic alternative to tiles and can even help you save a bit of money. Just a heads up though, these aren’t suitable for direct splash areas like the inside of the shower. They work best on the opposite walls.

And a little tip from me – you’ll need to wet-seal around the base and cover it with skirting tiling. Also, considering these sheets are quite thick, I’d recommend removing the old cornice and fitting a new one for a cleaner, more polished finish.

Have you considered using them? Great for a DIY project!

I’ve done it a few times and while it’s not the most fun… YOU CAN do it!

Navigating through a renovation while staying at home can be a challenge, but with the right strategies, it’s definitely doable.

Here’s How to Manage:
• Designate ‘Safe Zones’: Establish areas in your home that are off-limits to renovation work, where you can relax and escape the dust and noise.
• Plan for Functional Spaces: Ensure that at least one bathroom and a makeshift kitchen area are always accessible.
• Schedule Wisely: Align heavy work with your schedule. Prefer quiet hours? Discuss this with your tradies.
• Stay Organised: Keep your essentials accessible and store away non-essentials to minimise clutter and stress.
• Safety First: Especially important if you have children or pets. Ensure tools and hazardous materials are stored safely.
• Expect Some Discomfort: Be mentally prepared for some inconvenience - it’s a temporary phase before your dream space comes to life!

Living on-site during a renovation might seem daunting, but it’s a great opportunity to closely monitor progress and make real-time decisions. Plus, think of the stories you’ll have to share once it’s all done!

Are you planning to give a fresh look to that old

Are you planning to give a fresh look to that old wall or piece of furniture? Well, I’ve got just the tip you need before you dive into your painting adventure.
These walls were heavily coated in a brown/yellow paint with a persistent sheen that just wouldn’t budge.

➡️ Embrace the Power of a Water-Based Primer, Sealer & Undercoat!

Why is this step so important? Here’s the deal: a water-based primer, sealer, and undercoat is essential for achieving a smooth and lasting finish. It’s all about getting the surface ready – it seals and evens out any irregularities, and its mould resistance is especially useful for areas prone to dampness.

And for those working with wood, you’ll find this product incredibly effective at blocking tannin, preventing any unwanted brown stains from spoiling your meticulous paintwork.

So, before you pick up that paintbrush, make sure a water-based primer, sealer & undercoat is the first thing you reach for. Trust me, your future self will thank you!
