in a way that can be done around childcare responsibility.
This is currently the factor that orders everything on my TDL. Anything requiring >1hr of uninterrupted time (because you know it'll take 3) is put off for now.
Oh how I long for yesteryear when the man sacked off all childcare, went to work and you could pay a pittance for a skilled trade to do everything you needed done.
Possibly, but that might involve a level of joinery and risk of collapse that is beyond me. I've grown more comfortable with the patch, maintain and monitor approach. And if it comes to it, get a grown up in to replace. The initial approach is £40 and a bit of time (as @hugo7 says) in a way that can be done around childcare responsibility.
