Haha the people this job for are great
They just want stuff done right and money is no object so I just potter about.
I removed and extended the window sills yesterday and my mate did some wiring
Alot of my customers are like that. So refreshing.

To be honest I would be happy being a handyman
Nice simple life
Think multi trade is good as lot of variation. I can do a fair bit but only do plastering as work. Occasionally i’ll tile if there’s a gun to my head

I do enjoy the variation, though there are times when it would be nice not to need a million and one different tools.
At the moment I'm finishing 2 bathrooms off and im flitting between the two, multitasking to the max and constantly changing tools. It can be frustrating at times.
The other issue is that depending on what jobs are in, it can sometimes be a long time between different skill sets, so it takes awhile to get back up to speed.
What I do like though, is the satisfaction of seeing a job through from start to finish and seeing the finished product.
You don't tend to get that so much if you're a single trade.
