Day 841: Turning 10,000

















The Suburbiton Project turned 10,000 yesterday! Thank you to all my loyal followers for tuning into insightful posts on interesting topics such as paint drying, cement pouring and filling up a skip. With exciting and topical subjects like these, I'm actually surprised the number is only 10,000.

And yes, I know the number sounds impressive until you compare it against:

  • Google - 6,572,041 hits per day
  • YouTube - 6,035,153 hits per day
  • Facebook - 4,480,024 hits per day
  • WaitButWhy - 50,000 hits per day (a blog on procrastination, imagine if people actually got around to visiting this site)
It still may be a couple of years before we're able to displace these sites, but I don't think it's out of reach. However, it's great to see how a site we created 2 years ago to document our adventures in refurbishing an old house has progressed.

What's been most inspiring has been comments from people that randomly came across the site on the Internet. I've apparently inspired a few people to tear apart their houses and gardens (and hopefully put them back together again).

For those interested, I've pasted some of key site statistics below:


























Canada just edges the UK in this regard (thanks Joan!). 


















So apparently, pouring concrete is the 3rd most popular topic in home renovation - who knew?

The house is nowhere near finished so lots more exciting topics to come in the year ahead. But in the meantime, thanks for supporting us and helping us achieve this truly monumental milestone.
