What trade do you like and hate the most

[mike1979]

Thought I'd put this up to see what people enjoy doing and what they hate I like to do something that keeps my mind hard at work otherwise I loose concentration and start doing silly things i love tiling and doing things that I can stand back after and see the end result I absolutely hate painting can't see anything worse
1 tiling 2 carpentry 3 bricklaying 4 bit of plumbing 5 plastering 6 painting I don't touch electrics

As a professional I tile only. In my own time I have extensively refurbished my home. I've built an extension and a conservatory, completed a very large and complicated decking area, completely rewired and replumbed and landscaped the gardens.

Standard household electrics are an interesting project, I went right through from a new consumer unit onwards, but obviously this all needs to be certified by a qualified electrician once complete.

The plumbing was enjoyable, proper soldered joints, none of the plastic speed fit stuff. The soilpipe and drains were a but grubby though.

Carpentry and first fix joinery was very interesting, I really like working with wood.

Plastering is probably my pet hate, I've tried it, but really don't enjoy it at all.
