Today while installing the boot room (diy kitchens) we used oak cuttings from the back of the carcass in the dressing room (tight for floor space so cut carcass) for packing out the sides. I was chuffed with my penny saving solution.

What penny saving solution have you done during the build ?

 

Left over engineered oak flooring made the upstairs door frames, most of the window boards, the under stairs cupboard door, and there was just enough left to make the loft hatch.

@ProDave I did read your thread regarding oak flooring for door architrave, I did find someone selling over 2m long planks wide enough with 6mm top layer of oak i was considering copying you.
