Hi all. I have spent more time at the IP fixing stuff than I have at home the last few weeks. Lots of niggly little things. Couple of handles on internal doors broke, pool cover (tenants not using pool) needed replacing, fly wire screens just plane fell apart, guttering at back of place fell off in last down pour, security doors needed new handles, back security door needed to be re hung and last but not least me spending 4 hours in the roof cavity (about 50 degrees up there) re wiring the coax cable for the TV's !
I suppose I am lucky as I can do most of it myself having designed and built my own house from scratch. It also helps that my IP is 1.2 km away ! It saves a heap of money on tradies which in this town I would be more likely to win tatts than get a tradie !
I have a couple of questions :-
How much work do people do themselves ?
Is it possible for me to claim some of my time on doing this work ?
Can I claim any depreciation on my tools when using them at the IP, drills, saws, angle grinders etc. ?
Thanks.
Chris.
