Interesting At first, the neighbors couldn’t understand why the couple needed a small house in their yard. However, their curiosity was satisfied once they saw the inside. by Impress story 19.01.2025 19.01.2025 38 views Share 0FacebookTwitterPinterestLinkedinTumblrRedditWhatsappTelegram During the pandemic, people began to prioritize private homes, appreciating spaces that allowed them to enjoy the outdoors, go for walks, or even picnic. Some took it a step further, transforming their backyards into full-fledged gyms. One couple, Jody and Andy, did just that. But they didn’t just add a few pieces of outdoor fitness equipment; they built an entire home gym from scratch. Initially, Andy thought about hiring a builder, but after discovering the high cost of the project and design, he decided to take on the challenge himself. In the end, they calculated that by doing it all themselves, they saved around 11,000 pounds—more than a million rubles at today’s exchange rate. And they completed the entire project in just three weeks! For construction, they used special wood planks, siding, and lath. Instead of purchasing new windows and doors, they repurposed old ones they had stored in their basement. The interior was decorated with a full-wall mirror, and they bought exercise equipment and mats from a specialty store. At first, their neighbors were frustrated by the constant construction noise, but when they learned about Jody and Andy’s project, many of them began thinking about building their own home gyms. At the very least, they now have an expert to consult! Share 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestLinkedinTumblrRedditWhatsappTelegram
