I rent my flat and some maintaining matter, as plumbing, are included in the rent. Expensive all right but also convenient and fast. Have to say it was more expensive when I’s living in my ex’s house: he did everything himself, at first, as it was expensive to hire a specialist. Then, after countless trials to fix things on his own and a raw of bought details and instruments that didn’t help, he had to hire a specialist nonetheless.

well let's see..I know how to do brick laying, flooring, I can do electrical work, don't like to deal with plumbing though, can upholster fruniture, hang wall paper although I prefer a plastered wall, can build cabinets..so basically I don't need a handy man...can do all that and cook too

i'll give most things a try, though draw the line at some electrics
I have done, plumbing, electrics,decorating,tiling, (floors and walls )plastering,carpentry. Had a go at most things. I am going to tackle New windows in January. I just need someone to hold the ladder. Any offers ?

Quitter!!!
My baby-girl’s male parrot never draw no lines, nossir, especially at computer wires. We think he was electrician in his previous life. And gardener, as he doesn’t draw any lines when destroying pot-plants. And wall-paper (construction worker?). And furniture… and so on…
I'm more of a GSE (get someone else)......
I'm no good at refrigeration and I need some one to cut my hair.
I'm very average in I.T.
Most of the rest, I do with passion.

I will get some one else for plumbing, electric, etc.... works. Here, they still chaarge in a reasonable way.

Some people can be outrageous when charging for a job.
Here it is not case, I live in a small city and in downtown, we know each other very well. My Plumber, mechanic, electrician, etc. are the same who do maintainance and repairs for me since years ago.
there is a new idea taking rootin usa and uk self help groups plumber wants roop painting your a painter and need the leak on the shower repairing so you get in touch and do each other a favor no cash changes hands except for parts and paint its a good idea a neighbourhood buids up a swap job board in local shop and people get to know each other and new freindship evolve and all with nothing to pay or very little

There is nothing on a house or a car that I can't do, and do well. No bragging, it's just that I've done it all for a living and have spent most of my life learning how to do everything, so I would never have to hire anyone or be dependent on another.

Mazza1970: send me the parrot i need a plug changing
Well… after this parrot’s visit you’ll have a lot of things in need of change, not only a plug.
I'd try all the stuff I've done in the past:
demolition
timber wire brushing to prepare it for preservative chemical spraying
plastering
wallpapering
painting
water pipe plumbing
gas pipe plumbing
waste pipe plumbing
electrical installation and repair
IT installation
shelf fitting
kitchen fitting
wall and floor tiling
roof repair
aerial installation
gutter cleaning
drain clearing
repointing
loft insulation fitting
lightbulb changing
cooking
ironing
washing up
nappy changing
cleaning
car repair and maintenance
lawn rotorvating and raking
plus anything else that needed doing.

I attempt nothing DIY because I know I would be a complete failure.
I try to get friends, or friends or friends to get the DIY jobs done.
