Anything specialist trade (plumbing, wiring, etc), but decorating in my job! However, my arthritis is worsening so we'll have to see how long I can continue - but our daughter still lives at home, so she can labour and I can supervise!!
We are thinking about getting someone in to do our back garden as a one-off - hubby had it paved years before I met him as he suffers badly with hayfever so wanted to get rid of the grass. However, it was done 'on the cheap' and there's no weed-suppressing membrane and only a relatively thin layer of sand under the slabs, so the weeds are prolific and impossible to get rid of (Pathclear does NOT kill weeds for 5 years - it makes them go brown for a couple of weeks, then they come back!!!). So we are seriously considering having it redone properly - and prettier too .... daughter, dog and I would love to have a small lawn, and hubby says we can have one as long as he doesn't have to cut it!
I'm thinking of getting hubby's shirts ironed too - I HATE ironing, and it's getting harder to do with my arthritic thumb (that's my excuse anyway!). Just need to persuade hubby that the initial cost of doubling his shirt supply will be worth it!
Otherwise, we're happy to do 'stuff' ourselves.
