Sorry just catching up on all the other responses that I missed)
My husband and I do do DIY together...but I would NOT re-lay pipes etc. I am definitely not confident enough for that lol. Normally we do the DIY together but I've taken more of a backseat at this stage because I can't realllllly help him cut and replace pipes because it's a pretty delicate process and he's very exact about it all (you have to be or it will leak). Now that pipework is done, I can actually start helping (which we'll probably have tiles being done next after hooking up the fixtures).
My husband and I do DIY together, for the most part. But I was in charge of replacing broken and unsightly tiles in the bathroom of the old house (it was a rental, but we had such low rent that we felt it was best to do the little repairs ourselves rather than call any attention to the place and make them realize they could charge us more). We shared the job of caulking because we were both novices and we both knew we wanted it to look good (and provide a good seal), but we were soooo afraid of messing up. The finished job wasn't perfect, but it was acceptable. And now we are slightly less novice.
We have plumbing in our future. We
might hire that one out. I'm not sure what my husband's plumbing experience is, but mine is about nil. But he has surprised me more than once.
Yeah I will swap with husband for mowing the lawn, but I HATE weeding. I don't even love mowing the lawn, but we trade off almost all of the household responsibilities so I have to draw the short straw sometimes haha. We do have a lot of grass. I keep asking my husband if we could get a ride-on mower but our garden is definitely not THAT big (I just really would love a ride-on mower haha told him I'd do the grass ALL the time).
My family has some land in the US... we have gone through several ride-on mowers over th years to keep the homestead portion mowed and usable. Even
I like mowing when I get to drive around on a little 'tractor'! It's fun. But you need a big enough area to mow to justify storing the thing when you're not mowing.
My thoughts precisely haha and no leaks, so that's the added bonus (meaning it can stay on!). Our towel radiator in the bathroom gets RED HOT. I love it! haha I am basically a lizard so I huddled over by the radiator in our bedroom for probably a solid 10 minutes lol.
I used to stand against the radiator in our bedroom during my hour of heat... and for some time afterward while it cooled back down again. It was lovely.
Great news

My IA at the moment:
I have static everywhere! I can't seem to get rid of it... my clothes are filled with static (every time I take off my fleece or a cardigan, I get shocks), which means my hair is filed with static too (my hairbrush crackles when I use it), and I have to pry my hair off my back where it sticks to my clothes... and then it sticks to my face instead.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Do you use conditioner for your hair? That helps me. I was going to suggest the dryer sheets thing, but you're already doing it. You could look into getting a grounding rod ("ionizing bar") like they use at facilities that handle explosive or highly combustible materials... like this
