That’s true. A friend of ours who was dealing with yet another domestic drama (they had 5 kids) once said to me “There’s always a solution to our family problems….(pause)… and it’s always the
SAME solution….(pause)….
spend more money!”. He’s probably right.
There could be another option. I believe that there are some Men’s Sheds in the Canberra area and they might be willing to take it on as a project. We have a local shed and they have quite a range of capabilities. Some of the members are probably old codgers wanting to try their hand at a bit of basic carpentry, with mixed results, but amongst them there are also some really good retired wood and metal workers. Men's Sheds may charge for some tasks and do others for free - I don’t know. I imagine there’s a big variety among the various shed memberships. Might be worth asking around anyway.
