I do my best to only buy raw materials or ingredients and make things the closest I can get "from scratch"
I'm fairly good at it for food and some home consumables, I make most of our: bread, soap, after shave, yogurt, beer (and food in general, of course)
Now I'm trying it for home stuff... In the last couple of years I've made our coffee table, dinning table, living room lamp, kids beds, our bed
And since my car is no longer in warranty, I've started doing all the maintenance I can on my own
KDE rules, not surprised more and more and moving its way
