Revamp Your Home without Venturing Out

by Abhilash Tyagi Digital Marketer

A famous quote by Socrates states that “the secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old but on building the new”.

When we have so many petty issues like a creaking floor, a jammed door, rocking furniture, a floor that has soaked up water, cupboards that don't close anymore, a roof that's leaking, and so many other petty issues, the only thing we can do is build our home from scratch and make it new and perfect instead of putting buckets under the leaking roof and folded paper under the uneven table to make it stable.

Most houses use different types of plywood for making various things around the house. Plywood is a sheet of wood made of layers of wood veneers that are put together to make plywood.

Different types of plywood are:

- Hardwood plywood – used in flooring in houses, structuring houses
