New builder hopefully starting today. Got him doing two relatively simple jobs first (I say simple, I'm not doing it....) as a bit of a trial. Stripping and re-plastering two rooms and rebuilding an airing cupboard. He's asked for no money up front as the materials for these two rooms aren't expensive, only pay when we're happy. Which is good, or at least makes me more comfortable.
That's the best approach. No one's going out of their way to make things more difficult but there are so many things that create a happy balance it's always going to be a bit trial and error.
Way to put the shits up the homeowners...
