Take the next couple of days for example. I'll start work on the house at 8:30am tomorrow morning, work straight without any breaks until 6pm. Then leave for my actual job at 9:30pm and work until 6am. Then I'll wake up at 11 am and renovate until 6pm. Then Sunday I'll work on the house from 9am until 1pm then leave for my actual job from 1:30pm to 10:00pm. Etc...

One thing I do these days is use labourers for the tedious unskilled stuff: filling skips, moving bricks, sanding, cleaning up etc. I get them on Airtasker.
..... Doctor? Hospital??I managed to slip with the iron and cut through all of the skin on my finger tip. Stood on a bit of wood with a nail sticking out of it which went about 1.5cm into my foot. And I shattered a grinding disc that flew apart and cut up my thumb.
Loving renovating right now
..... Doctor? Hospital??
Nah that's just everyday stuff. And I got a tetanus booster only a fortnight ago when I slipped with the hack saw and needed 4 stitches in the back of my hand. On the bright side that injury never really hurt that much because I managed to cut the nerve so I can't actually feel the back of my hand now. Only problem is I can't say I know something like the back of my hand anymore...
I just started on the reno journey. I know my limitations though. I will stick to stuff I can learn quickly and easily, like painting and tiling. More than that is out of my league and that's when I call in the tradies.
I love painting ( haven't got to tiling yet, but doesn't look too hard). I take before and after pictures and post them on fb for my friends and I to gloat over
Painting is pretty easy to do right and the impact is very high. It provides a lot of quick gratification, plus the knowledge that I saved a lot of $$$ by doing it myself.

I'll leave it for the lovers! Did major Reno on a house that was a knockdown in a pretty ave suburb 15 yrs ago. Realised it would have been much more worth it in premium suburb. I could never do a total Reno again.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

So, is tiling super hard? Not something a noob can/ should do?
Problem with tiling is, if you don't get the tiles both flat and square, and evenly spaced all around, and level, it looks crap AND it's a complete tear-down to re-do it again. Also, laying the whole tiles is relatively easy, it's the cut tiles around the edges and corners that is hard and time consuming.
