Hi all,

It’s been an exciting start to 2018 as Workshop members share their latest D.I.Y. creations and home improvement plans. Don’t forget to let us know what new year projects you have planned.

Some of the most popular Workshop posts over the past month have included:

• @Peggers impressed the community with his themed caravan renovation

• Members shared tips for growing tomatoes this summer

• Newbie @alexr got a hand with sanding and polishing a plywood floor in a new home office
