Today's Horse Racing
You have to have a break now and again. I also like working in the garden etc as it keeps me active and moving. I think it's easy to rationalise it on economics only but keep myself in shape is just as important.Also I would have thought it makes more sense for you to be sat at your desk and pay someone to do such jobs. From a purely monetary point of view, you could earn a multiple of what you would pay someone in the same time I would think.
I'll generally get somebody in to do a lot of jobs, but I want to stay active and get some satisfaction from looking at something I worked on. Besides I've roped my son it to keep it going when his old man has gotten tired.
I can relate to that, I did mean to hint about your points by saying the purely monetary bit but I didn't word it very well having read it back.Euler wrote: ↑Mon Aug 26, 2019 5:13 pmYou have to have a break now and again.

Also some father son time is priceless and money can't buy that!
Wooo hooo Mondlict in the 1735 at Cartmel looked like not racing and shot out to 1000.0. There was a total of £116 matched at 1000.0 before the commentator said it was racing and caught up. Back into very near its SP of 26.01 now.
Edit: lucky escape for the layers when it tailed off though it must have been a bit nervous when the horse got back into the field.

Not a good idea if the error will cost you a few £100. I thought long and hard about laying my own wood or laminate floor. Decided wood was beyond me, laminate may be possible but after watching several videos of how to install the boards around doorways I thought I'll be spending weeks finishing off and decided to get a professional to do it.ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27, 2019 2:58 pmNobody's born with skills, I approach life with a 'surely it can't be that hard' attitude and lots of trial and error.
As luck would have it, I thought, I met a groundsman who does concrete and paving stones, said he's done laminate before and offered to do it for less. flipping dickhead didn't have a clue what to do at the doorway and left an expansion gap that couldn't be covered with trimming.
Lesson learnt, will have to pull up the floor sometime and get a floor fitter to install a new one but at least I've got some boards left to practice with if I decide to have a go my self.
Don't think I'll have any problem constructing a flat pack shed but the dry concrete and paving stone base will be a challenge.
