    What the fuck

    I could literally stop working, buy the tools, train myself, and make them myself, then start working again and time / cost / materials I'd still be in the black compared to that.

    You have to be an absolute baller at the moment to pay anyone to do anything nice at the mo

  • Depends on just HOW fancy.
    I'm gonna build a 3m wide, 3.2m high, 0.8m deep job in our spare room, then another almost the same in hallway for sports/stuff/life storage. Even at the 'trade' price I get as an odd job guy who is chatty with jewson/buildbase/howdens/local wood yard. It'll be £1500 in sheet material and sawn timber, then finishs, trims, hinges, lighting, air conditioning, heated floors for the shoes etc* is all on top.
    Will probably take me 5 days in my head, but 10 days + in reality.

    *Don't worry, I'm not heating my entire storage area. Just the bit for shoes, putting a DIY shoe drier in there, PVC pipe + small extractor + small heater + exhaust for those wet shoes.
