Days since my last post: 2

2017 has truly been quite an adventure for me thus far - from getting engaged, to switching my job, and right now my other half and I are headed for our next big step in life... getting a home to call our own. It's always been a dream for me to own a home, and considering the fact that my father is in the real estate industry, I know for sure that houses don't come cheap. I once even thought I'd have a buy a car and shower in public toilets because ain't nobody got money for a house anymore!

My highly intelligent other half however, suggested that we start small instead of being too ambitious. We were after all just 2 people who would probably spend about 8 to 10 hours out of our home and it's possible that when we're home we would just curl up in bed and die rest, because that's who we are. And so with the thought of a tiny home in mind, we began to furnish our weekday evenings watching YouTube videos on space saving ideas - in which I thought some were really interesting!

One of my favourite video had to be this convertible bench that seemed so interesting because it could be a single seater, or a double seater with something in between, or be turned into a single seater with a table... the opportunities seemed endless!

The idea was so simple! All you had to do was to pick up a template, saw the pieces accordingly and then screw them together! Repeat to create about 15 of the seat pieces and then do about the same with the side pieces before combining them all together with a metal tube and some hammering. The one thing I noticed however was that we would probably need a heavy duty drill that could penetrate through that volume of wood, which is why I'm glad that a leading German brand power tool called Metabo has recently been launched in Malaysia!
