I can relate to this. We recently had to sack our decorators because although they did a decent job on the walls and ceilings, they were incompetent on the woodwork. Now that matters are in our hands again, we'll get the finish we want (and not have to pay through the nose). Only downside is the time it might take - but you know about that aspect. Arf.

I would rather do things like lay the parquet myself because of the (high) chance that if I paid someone the work would not be to the standard I expect, and that I had paid for that would annoy the fuck out of me every single day.
