  • Learn to do stuff yourself.

  • That's all very well but my job is part funding our work (like tommmmmm too I imagine) so the amount I could spend on site would be very limited because I need to pay the bills.

    Also even though I understand everything our builders have done so far and could at least have a go at replicating it, when you're doing builds of the scale we are there are a lot of things that would be impossible for anyone to do on their own, never mind someone with a climbers build like me. I don't fancy trying to move tonne bags of sand, digging enormous holes in the garden or filling multiple 8 yard skips. No way we could be doing this without contractors.

  • This, I could do the heavy stuff but having very quickly developed a lot of decorating experience, I am well aware now that I lack finesse.

    Finesse is probably the least of what you need when you're taking out supporting walls, installing new 17th edition fuse boards, connecting radiators and building staircases. Which of that should I have done myself?
