Yep, I am lucky ...My other half likes to do the papering & dreadded painting.
Good job too, I hate painting with a vengence
We both saw the funny side of my tumble but it could have been quite nasty.........When I fell on the bed, my hand & wrist became trapped between the foot board & matteress. So much so, my wife had to stand on the matteress so as I could get my hand out ( After she stopped laughing that is )
Lucky I never broke the thing, had a beauty of a bruise
I guess you are right on the truss situation.....I hadn't thought of that angle & probably makes sound ecconomic sense for medium size companys.
It turns out, that my eldest can get enough 6X2 & 8x2 timbers for about £300 another £100 for felt n batten & the job will be a good un

Good job ya landed on the bed as that could have been nasty.
With regards to gettign the trusses... It's the same story through many industries. They have cut back so far on staffing to ride out the downturn that they don't have enough staff for all the work they could potentialy get, but it's better being busy and turning away a few jobs than having staff/stock burning cash doing nowt.
