What have I done?

Now I am scared!

My Dad came to the first project meeting and being quite handy himself he has pointed out areas that I hadn't considered or budgeted for. The electrics looks shot! The floorboards throughout the house look like they need replacing and the plaster has to be pulled off the walls and re plastered. All expensive jobs on my meagre budget. Fortunately Dad knows 'people' so the quotes are gonna come in thick and fast. Being the world's best Dad, he is going to work alongside my brother on this projects - and unlike Tim I won't have to pay Dad. The difference being that paying Tim means I can have greater demand on his time than I can on Dad's who still has to earn his crust.

But we have made a schedule of works and pinned it to the wall in the dinning room so Tim knows where to start. I have amended my woefully inadequate time guesstimate from 8 weeks to a more realistic 12 weeks so we shall see how we go.
