    Is the pain returning

    I think there is an element of “wait and see”......if the general housing market takes a knock, a house becomes cheaper, more people will buy, demand goes up again and off we go......it’s ever been this, and no matter what happens with Brexit, we still need to house people.

    Prizes and donations so far..

    Perhaps a tpf auction would be the way............chance for a bargain maybe. Dunno, happy for all that I’ve donated to be used whichever way makes most sense, agree with @imago that keeping the banter/ entertainment going is all part of this.

    Breath of fresh air!!!

    Not having a grizzle @Lodan .....I applaud what you’re doing to change your circumstance. I always wanted to be self employed, in charge, not a wage slave. I’ve done that, and now cannot stand working for chancer “builders” who couldn’t pour piss out of a boot with the instructions on the heel...

    Breath of fresh air!!!

    I get it. I was the same, needed to be in charge of my own destiny and all that. However, as I am now, I’m fed up with the all cosuming bit and would rather just turn up, do stuff and get off home again. A few years ago a job inside would have felt like purgatory to me, but with age comes wisdom...

    Breath of fresh air!!!

    I’ve stopped. Got proper job in an air cooled office. Cycle in if it’s fine. Get breaks foisted on me lest I work myself I’ll, brew any amount any time, people seem genuinely pleased to see me and I’m continually thanked for my efforts......and they pay.........like clockwork. Loving it.

    Two nice examples of old school skills there @madmonk & @Tinytom .......that’s what we used to do awhile ago. Nice. Square corners might have been done in Keene’s cement......before beads.

    Tool belt

    Certainly didn’t pay 83 anything’s for mine. Got two pouches, and a thingy for putting all thingys in, already had a belt, don’t think I spent more than 40 on it, but then it’s been that good, so the cost has been forgotten. I heartily recommend such a set up.

    Price help

    Unless you are thinking that it might take longer, in which case you have that to factor in. And then again there’s the ugly profit v effort factor........you have to decide if you want either, both or just one. Then again, you might think it’ll be a piece of piss.......all the above would still...
