How do you 'prep' your house for summer?

Dunno. Seems to be a thing :confused:

I can agree with the getting paid bit... I tend not to do any work unless the customer can prove that they can pay.

No idea what this even means. Would you want the customer to flash the cash or something ?

With everything you have on - work, degree etc will you actually have time to do anything worthwhile? Nobody is going to take you on to do a job when you have the time.

I'll be doing small stuff only, nothing too big. Same day jobs only.

Yesterday I replaced a tap for a washing machine. 20 mins work, £50. Not bad
