I probably took on more than I could chew but I’m happy with the work I did myself and of the trades apart from a shite tiler.
In fact the trades were not extortionate and really easy to deal with even when thing were missed or not quite right there was never an issue, good people are out there you just have to find them or get lucky.
The real savings are the long tedious fiddly things like stripping back crittall windows to the galvanising by hand and repainting them properly, I shudder to think of the hours I put into that job or how many £k you would have to pay to do it to the same standard as me.
The day you get your life/weekends back and can sit in the fruits of your labour is likely to be amazing, I’m about 2-3 weeks away from that!

That’s my maths.
Although now maybe 1.5x slower.
Usually better quality than cheap trades too.
Pal of mine is redoing all his new woodwork as trade was bargain basement and results awful.
