<\/p>\nA MAN has been trolled after showing how he jazzed up his council house for just a fiver. <\/p>\n
Martin explained that he hated the "eggbox" doors in his home, so decided to make them stand out a bit more. <\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
He marked out lines on the door, and then used a router with its back to a decking board to make sure that the cuts were straight. <\/p>\n
"So we got the first cut done, but we've had some issues with the old paint flaking off as you can see," he said in a video on his TikTok page. <\/p>\n
"I should have sanded it down a little bit more than I did, so I'm gonna do that before we do the other side."<\/p>\n
He then moved on to the other side, doing another straight line to give the effect of a "centre panel" type door. <\/p>\n
Martin then started doing horizontal cuts "all the way to the top of the door". <\/p>\n "The good thing about this is because it's already a fitted door, we can get the partitions perfect that already been cut top and bottom when it was first fit," he explained. <\/p>\n Once he'd finished doing the cuts, he sanded the door down a bit more, primed it and then painted it a dark grey. <\/p>\n "Finished result," he wrote alongside a clip of the door in position. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "Longer content of how I turn the awful council box doors into different styles for the cost of paint and a little time," he captioned the video. <\/p>\n "I've had a few ask for a little longer video of the process so I've put this together for all that have messaged and asked. <\/p>\n "Finally finished off the ones from yesterday and over the moon with the look."<\/p>\n And while lots of people praised Martin for sharing the DIY tip, others weren't quite as impressed. <\/p>\n "If you don't like council house doors, train your self to get a better job so you don't have to live in a council house," one troll raged.<\/p>\n But others hit back at the remark, with one writing: "A person's need to live in a council house isn\u2019t just down to the type of job they have!"<\/p>\n "Train yourself……spoken like a pure silver spoon buffoon!!!" another said. <\/p>\n "What a shocking comment to someone showing people to take an old door to a modern style!" a third marvelled. <\/p>\n "Just buy new doors, less hassle," someone else told Martin.<\/p>\n To which he replied: "Rather save \u00a31000 hence why I've done this."<\/p>\n As another person insisted the transformation must have cost more then \u00a35 because of the router. <\/p>\n However, Martin revealed that he'd actually been given the machine by his father-in-law, but you can get similar ones second-hand for around \u00a330. <\/p>\n And tonnes of people were really impressed with Martin's door transformation.<\/p>\n "Absolutely brilliant idea, very simple too," one wrote. <\/p>\n "Massive difference!" another added. <\/p>\n "Good business idea this mate, well done, very impressive," a third commented. <\/p>\n "Talk about upping the game!" someone else praised. <\/p>\n "Looks amazing and I love that it\u2019s using something which was still fit for purpose."<\/p>\n "Massive difference and saved a bomb, black hinges would finish this off," another suggested. <\/p>\n "Sooo classy, love it," someone else wrote. <\/p>\n "Good job!"<\/p>\n "What colour is the paint?" another asked. <\/p>\n With Martin replying: "It's actually a b&q exterior wood paint called Tulsa grey. <\/p>\n "You'll find it in the outdoor paint section, comes in a white tub – cheap as chips too!"<\/p>\n "Are those doors not hollow then?"someone else questioned. <\/p>\n To which Martin explained: "Yes they are. <\/p>\n "The skins are 3mm on most doors – I've cut these at just 1.5mm depth."<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/ri-comp-council-house.jpg\")
