I've done quite a bit of house reno etc. in my time NM. From my experience the easiest job on your list would be painting out rooms but there a a few tricky points to it and I find it to be a very boring occupation.

If you are a novice then I would approach laying carpet cautiously - getting it flat and smooth needs a bit of experience and a knee kicker tool.

I've only done floor tiling, many moons ago, and the cutting for the tricky edges, corners and around door frames etc was the hardest part I find. You need to invest in the right tools.

Have a look on Youtube and you will find plenty of good instructional videos, Also the Bunnings site has a good range of these too.

To be fair, that's one of the main reasons I've got that on the list of things I should pay other people to do. I'll be taking some time off work to set up the house, I don't know if I want 80% of that time to be used just painting. There's heaps of other stuff we'll be doing ourselves as it is.

I will check out some of the YouTube vids though and see if I think I'll be able to do the flooring.

Thanks heaps
