Basically the fact that even the £200 or so difference all told is very welcome - this is the first of a few rooms we want to do, so I think it's worth getting used to doing it and I know I could be more effective next time.
And partially the sense of satisfaction - this is the first room since we moved in that we've got to pretty much the stage that it's where we want it to be - and I've done every bit of it myself.

Looks great, Tom!

Ahhh the joys of the learning curve! Its my favourite part of learning a new skill; that point when you're not going to make a stupid beginners mistake but every time you practice you refine your technique and learn ways of making yourself more efficient. I find it becomes addictive, I also find it highly frustrating when you transition from the steep part of the the curve and it starts to level out meaning your learning opportunities are fewer. I guess that's why I'm in the process of building a blacksmithing forge in my garage.

Looks great @tbc well done. I know it's been discussed on this thread previously - and consensus appeared to be that's it's a bit of a slog to do yourself and once you've hired a machine the cost of someone else doing it was fairly palatable - what made you choose to do it yourself?
