Do you spend too much time trying to buy the “cheap” home renovating materials.
1 Your best way is to buy the best of what you need. Is to buy good quality home renovating materials. Measure twice, cut once. Quantify what you need, then add some extra of products, in order, to cover breakages.
2 Take concrete, rather than labouriously, mixing for a driveway yourself : it will pay to buy a load of pre-mixed concrete from a mini-mix home delivered.
3 One might get some materials, by Ebay/ Graysonline/Trading Post, auction houses and garage sales.
4 I like to grow out my own garden bushes, this can save heaps. For me, this can save me thousands a year, when I renovate several home gardens.
5 You can always buy renovating materials in bulk and have it home delivered. This saves both time and money.
6 Buy furniture as a complete home package, from a good discount store like Fantastic Furniture.
7 I note, cleaning up second hand materials, is usually counter productive, as your labour is too valuable, to be cleaning bricks or removing nails from timber.
8 Buy your garden mulch, in bulk from the council, on a home delivered basis.
9 For the garden sculpture, one might recycle from the Hard Rubbish.
10 Home Garage sales and Sunday markets are great for home accessories and home feature items.
11 I find my discounts by managing time, by buying at shops like Bunnings, or Home Depot or Lowes. A one stop home hardware shop where I can buy everything I need.
12 Making your own curtains, blinds, accessories from fabric bought at the Spotlight store.

There’s , so much good stuff thrown out these days, people tour around the “Hard rubbish ” , and recycle half of it bfore the Trash truck arrives.!!!

Hi Black Rocking chair , I write heaps for my readers hoping , some stuff is applicable to each reader. As i have written eight books . I hope too have them available via the website and google shortly . Its been a trial to do so much creative writing . But after 28 house projects. I think there could be stuff for all readers . Obviously, I am attemping to sell the books as ebooks to the world . I am acutely aware that India has a cheap note book , coming soon which could bring Billions into the computer .

Thanks a lot for all those tips. I’m considering making an extension to my garage. This could be helpful
HI Fred , An garage extension would likely be good idea I always like to add or update a Kitchen or Bathrroom first. But if the garage adds value, sure go for it.

Hi Short hills granite,
