Haha, fair enough and appreciate what you are saying, but honestly we are on the bones of our a**es with the work needed to be done on this house and holidays for us will be a thing of the past for a while as once our money runs out we know we will still have a fair bit to do and that means back to saving whilst trying to pay the bills and fight off those pescy mortgage payments
Will get there with it and we are excited as its our first house and more than just your average wallpaper change and carpets to do. But that's the reason we bought it for the challenge.....god help us
if you are near me i would help you for virtually nowt as its a warm feeling inside
the main trouble is when people decide they will ask me to do something they can do themselves [ply lining a van for example] because its easier to ask "big all" as a cheap source off labour to do the job
i want to do jobs that people cant do but work beside them to teach them how
so inform them and share knowledge and skills
my friend said can you do the cable racking i said yes if you are there as he would learn
he said he had to go
i said i would come back when he phoned to say he was back
he asked me to work without him i said no when he comes back i will help him
he was full off praise and platitudes but wanted me to do his work as a cheap source off labour
now we all have our lives to lead but we must be aware that using your friends as a cheap source of labour is a very selfish thing
