I'm not looking to take on huge projects I'm too old for that now but if I can share the knowledge I've picked up over here including the pitfalls, you can learn from my mistakes.

Hi Iqbal,

I don't mind popping over to have a look and to see if I can be of any help, however if you're going for a major reform that's a bit outside my comfort zone these days, I'm not looking for work as such, I'm just offering to help out with a bit of advice and an extra pair of hands when needed. Whe...

...n I first started work on our place I was using the wrong plaster, I was pulling my hair out and I was desperate for a bit of advice as there were no English speakers round here. Anyway PM me your number and we can have a chat.
