When it comes to the summer months youll often find that there are many people in your area who want to get some work done on the house
. We all leave it until its warmer weather, which is completely acceptable and on top of that there are far more things you can do with less rain and generally cold weather.
If youre wanting to sort out skip hire for example because you want to rip out your kitchen or bathroom or you want to do some work in your garden Id recommend asking everyone on your lane or street whether theyd wish to chip in and share. Youll often find people want to get something gone but they put it off and once someone says theyll share the cost they become interested and want to get the job underway. You could even sort out skip hire for a bigger bin if several people are interested. Youll still end up saving more money than having a small one by yourself. Ring up a local skip hire company or you may find out that someone on the street has a contact at a local skip hire company who will save you money.
Share the workloads with friends. Youll often find that if you tell people youre having a decorating party and youll provide the drink and a barbeque youll often find friends, family and neighbors will be happy to help out to create some community spirit. In addition to this if someone has a similar project on you could suggest youll help each other out. Youll always find that one of you is better at a job than another and visa versa. Youll be able to swap trades with each other for work.
Dont forget simple things like looking at the weather forecast. If youre doing stuff outside such as painting or brick laying which obviously needs a long time of dry weather, keep an eye on the time and access when its best to get the ball rolling on the project. It can be annoying waiting for the right time but youd be really upset if you had to start the project all over again because the weather ruined it.
