Don't do difficult

The house is needing a few cosmetic jobs doing to it at the moment.

It has been interesting getting the quotes for the various jobs; the attitudes of some of the contractors even moreso...

The scratching of the head accompanied by a sharp intake of breath before uttering this immortal words, "It's going to be difficult", always amuse me.

You see we're at the stage of our own lives where we no longer have to do difficult. With the right level of saving we can pay others to do difficult.

Those who do come with the view of the job being difficult are usually put out of their misery by not being employed.

Those who come with the "can do" approach get the work.

Like the craftsman who fitted these skirting boards. This wasn't a big job, nor were the others we asked him to do while he was here.

Because he was so good he will get more work and recommendations. Now that's not difficult
