Affordable Kitchen Reno

My wife and I moved into our first house in May and immediately started doing our own updates. Because we spent most of our savings buying the house, we wanted to keep the updates as affordable as possible. The kitchen was fairly builder-grade with the classic metal sink and all white appliances. Here is what it looked like before we started.

We took down all of the cabinet doors and painted them glossy white. We ordered some really affordable pulls from Amazon. They were $30 for 25 pulls! 
We ordered some Feather Finish concrete and watched a ton of YouTube videos to learn how to concrete our countertops. While we were going, I made the call to go ahead and concrete our metal sink too. I hadn’t seen anyone do it but I thought it was worth a shot. https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=15Afk515jJkQCjl15mfkiBxZLe0tqtXgqhttps://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1fJvG9BsbOreIFtICN6BUqL-p5APRll24https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1mV_2RFY6Q6FITHSBkMEPyxOce_miJ4y4
By the end of the project, we ended up only spending about $200 on pulls, concrete, polyurethane to seal the concrete, a $70 sink from Amazon, and a nifty new soap dispenser. Here our our final results!

    Renovations are very time consuming, and it can be challenging to do it alone. I am amazed that you did a good job without any expert help. There is always a lots of things to do when one goes for any renovation. Also one requires to do such things with a clear picture in mind that what exactly they want from renovation otherwise it will turn into mess and will require any expert to fix it. For a big transformation DIY will never work and I would suggest to hire some contractor for kitchen renovation in Calgary as there are many service providers who do such jobs at affordable prices. Thanks for sharing such an interesting post.

    However, electromechanical slot growth ensured that the reels spun without any mechanical springs. This game was very popular, resulting in a surge in electronic gaming. The first real slot machine primarily based on fashionable standards is the Liberty Bell. Also, 1xbet korea he included a staggered stopping mechanism for extra excitement.

Gym Membership vs. Home Gym

Image
The Cost of a Gym Membership in 2019 The average cost of a gym membership in the United States is as much as $600 a year. This is for your run of the mill average gym. Then if you get into the specialty gyms like CrossFit or PureBarre that you need a coach and classes for, your annual cost goes even higher. If you are a member of one of these gyms, I challenge you to make a working list of the equipment that you use at your gym and, in a separate column, whether that equipment is critical to your routine or if you could do without it.  Building a Home Gym After you have made this list of what is critical to you and what isn’t, you can start looking at the cost of this equipment. I recommend looking for secondhand equipment on resale sites like Facebook Marketplace, EBay, Craigslist, etc. I personally built my last home gym for only $250 solely on Facebook Marketplace. This was my breakdown: Bench press/leg press with about 300lbs of free weights: $100 Power Tower ...

Newest Side Hustle

 So my newest side hustle endeavors pushed me towards something I really enjoy: Woodworking. My wife's grandfather clear cut an acre or two of his land and harvested a bunch of black walnut trees. When I was over there, I asked what he was going to do with the wood. He told me he would use some here and there but I was welcome to as much of it as I wanted. I used some of it to make Christmas presents over the holidays. One of my favorite gifts was a charcuterie board that I gave my mom. I did a quick google search and discovered that Black Walnut charcuterie boards were going for a whole lot more than I realized. I decided to make a few different ones and list them on Etsy. I have never used Etsy, but they make it quick and easy to set up a shop. They also are very clear about their fees and costs of selling. Here is a link to the fees that they charge for selling on the platform. https://www.etsy.com/legal/fees/ I also used to have some luck on eBay so I went ahead and posted them...
