Definitely going to be contracting almost all of the work. I'd like to farm out the painting and decorating too. I've moved house at least half a dozen time in the last ten years and have had enough of decorating to last at least the next decade. I hate decorating.
Thing is, I don't have the skill or patience to do it as well as i'd like and I always end up in the shitty position of being dissatisfied with the job, but not dissatisfied enough to do anything about it. Every time I've opened my eyes for the last three years I've looked up at the shitty job i did on the raggedy line between the walls and ceiling of my bedroom. To be fair, I did actually attempt to rectify that until I found out the colour had been discontinued. Anyway, there are new carpets in there so there's no way i'm risking them with my cack-handed ways.
Last time I tried wallpapering I nearly had a breakdown and ended up calling a guy to come and finish it. Best £100 I ever spent.
So yep, whilst we're getting fairly major works done i'm very tempted to stick a bit on the budget and get the whole place professionally finished while I put my feet up elsewhere.

Get stuck in yourself, reading from the Collins Big Yellow Book of DIY, learning as you go.
You'll be done in weeks, months at most.
Oh, wait...
