Garden landscaper offer ok or rather totally exaggerated?

The world is crazier nowadays than ever before!

one could agree that everyone has different demands here. We don’t have any artworks that need to be illuminated, so for us it’s enough to have a ceiling outlet in the living room, for example above the coffee table + dining table. At the coffee table there won’t be a ceiling lamp for now, but the option has to be there. Instead, we have various power outlets everywhere where smaller lamps can be placed. Some of them are connected to a switch by the door. I can decide that myself, I don’t need to pay a planner for it. If that’s not enough for someone, well, then they just pay more – which is okay if you have it (completely neutral!) and want to spend it... Oh yeah, since we are in the garden thread... the same applies to the garden, of course. I only have what I can’t physically manage done. For example, digging everything up now after the compaction from building, delivering and planting larger shrubs, and possibly a dry stone wall. Everything else I want to do myself, but: I ENJOY it. I like doing it and certainly don’t approach it too cluelessly. If that weren’t the case, we would simply pay someone to arrange the garden layout for us in a low-maintenance (!) way.

God in heaven.

Dear robber: Being an expert in one field (leading your company) does not exempt you from acquiring some competence in any other field.

It may sound terribly arrogant, but I do not mean it that way. Your way of applying methods that you may have found effective in company management to the organization of the construction project is so utterly fruitless.

Please stop making objections here and eventually take a tool in your hand and do something yourself. A rotary hammer. Make a hole. Put in a plug. Forward.
Not because it will get better. Not because you originally want it. But because a successful project (even if you only screw a lamp to the ceiling) gives your psyche something. Feels good. And because you could develop a basic understanding of things of which you have had none until now.

By the way, this does not mean that the general contractor makes no real mistakes. But your detail-obsessed expertocracy (everything I cannot do must be evaluated, certified, done by other "experts") brings you to the brink of madness.

With only very little knowledge in multiple fields, you can save yourself a lot of expertism. And it makes you sovereign and therefore relaxed. And you need relaxation before you blow up.

Right now is bad. But after the project is before the next.

I find the statements of some people here really presumptuous. Räuber doesn't seem to be someone who needs tips for the "right" way of life.

Viewed neutrally, it makes much more sense how he implements it: the things he cannot do himself or does not want to do himself, he outsources. He can afford that. There is nothing wrong or objectionable about it. On the contrary, he helps other people earn income with it.

Just because some people here clear their heads with gardening work, that doesn't have to work for everyone. It wouldn't work for me either. I can't stand gardening.

By the way, there are studies that prove that when jogging, you actually get rid of all other thoughts. The body is so engaged that it basically has no time to think of anything other than jogging.

I tell you, changing car tires and working on motorcycles makes the soul happy. That also helps against burnout.

I can't understand how anyone comes up with the idea to go to a workshop for something like that. Why do so many do that?

I see no difference to gardening. Or painting. Or roofing. Or cleaning. Or ironing. One person likes it, another doesn't. Lucky is the one who has the financial means to choose what they do themselves and what not.

In our house construction project, informing myself and doing the work was ALWAYS superior to the so-called experts. Far too often, they acted carelessly and negligently. I threw out the site manager after the shell construction because he was useless. Unfortunately, it is often the same with experts.

The work I did myself was usually carried out the cleanest. However, due to equipment, lack of time, or level of practice, you can hardly do everything yourself.

Nevertheless, I agree with my predecessors.

This is not about creation, but preservation. Aside from that, it is simply the case that coordination or letting things happen in the body do not produce the effects that self-creation does. After a burnout, the person concerned knows more about this. The lack of knowledge about it is precisely what causes this. But let's leave it as it is: at some point, you rewind these words and sentences.
