OK I could jump ship to another victim but after 13 years of clinging on (had some health problems - fixed now) my skills are devalued and training is absent. Maybe I have just lost my nerve.
Financially it makes sense, getting Part P is about £2K and 2 weeks as I understand it. New (to us) house needs a rewire and lots of home automation. Estimated ~ £3-7k for the big stuff, I also hate hiring tradesmen as they tend to disappoint. The best are still below standard. So even if I just do it for that I'm on a winner. If I do a little bit of extra on the side its a winner.
It gives me a choice, I don't have to stay in IT but can earn a reasonable living doing small stuff. If I get Home Automation off the ground then £3k-£100K jobs could be mine. I have a USP I do the sparks & the computing.
Wouldn't turn down being fitter!
