Workshop community update #6

Hi all,

It's been another great week on Workshop, with plenty of interesting D.I.Y. and gardening discussion.

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

• A dramatic transformation of an old shed to a funky studio

• Tips for cleaning windows

• Suggestions for deterring snakes in @IsobelB's garden

• Advice for @Eric about growing avocados in cooler climates like Melbourne

• Fantastic before and after shots from @Bec of a low-cost apartment renovation.

There were also many calls for help in the past week. Have you got any expertise or experience you could add about these topics?

• Setting posts within the structure of a retaining wall

• Installing a new watering system

• Tiling a subway-style splashback

• Building a freestanding patio

• Creating a concrete kitchen benchtop

• Painting weatherboards.

It was great to see so many new community members join us this week. A very warm welcome to you all.

Special thanks to our top contributors to Workshop this week. The community members who posted the most popular content in the past seven days were @Bec, @Kermit, @ProjectPete, @RenoQueen and @CathD. Thanks again for your fantastic contribution to the community.

Thanks also for your patience this week while using the site. We had an tech issue that was resulting in slow page loads. Our boffins have now addressed the problem and will be rolling out a fix very shortly.
