We need a door for our workshop so we can start actually using it, instead of our spare bedroom storage situation!
We have some pallets left over from deliveries that were perfect for this exact project - Which is exactly why we kept them.
And it always feels amazing to build something useful from something you keep that was seemingly useless. At the same time, it also saved us a good bit of money on timber too!

Vinted:
Renovating a house requires a LOT of clothes and buying new clothes that you know are going to get wrecked is just NOT the one.
That's where Vinted is amazing. You can get second hand clothes, made by great brands, with some serious life left in them, for way less than buying new. And you save clothes from the landfill at the same time - It's a real win-win.
Pretty much every pair of jeans and every flannel shirt you see Kieran wearing is from Vinted!!

We have zero experience with home renovations, and this one needs some renovating.
