team tractor Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) As most of the tradmen on here know it’s hard work trying to finish your own house and customers houses. Tonight I’ve gotten a stage closer and finished my stairs i made the door and frame earlier in the year , new floors, painted the walls etc and it leaves me the skirts, arc to paint and buy a carpet as it’s ruined/ dated after the building work plus I’ve cut it to paint. Only 2 1/2 years since I started the building work lol. Excuse the bits everywhere as i was still working on it Edited May 25, 2018 by team tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People say to me your house must be lovely ? or say to the missus your so lucky having a carpenter. She puts them straight haha. I refuse to buy wardrobes from Ikea or the like as they’re carp but just don’t get round to it or when I do get time, I don’t want to spend the money on materials Incase I need it for more important things. We have a canvas one in the spare room ? good on you nath, looking good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 Yes, always remove grippers prior to sanding as it doesn’t matter how careful you think you’ll be. Nasty things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I charge about £2500 for this. Difference is I make all my own components inc the newel covers . It’s very rare I don’t get the job at that as some charge £5k i supply the bits to public and trade too. about a grand for mine Edited May 26, 2018 by team tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
