Hello,
Does anyone here really enjoy working from home and if so what do you do ?
It really hit home to me, whilst out having an early morning walk today by the river, that I would be much happier working from home. I have worked a physical job most of my life and have known a change was long overdue, for years actually. I've realised this is causing me more stress than what it's worth and I'm in the process of minimising as much stress as I can, even if it may involve a loss of income.
I've looked around at some of the most common jobs people are doing from home but don't really interest me, like corporate companies, data-entry, sales and so on. They're just not my cup of tea. I'd much more prefer to be helpful or creative or contribute something positive in some way. I'm just wondering how to go about finding work I could do from home that could be interesting or maybe even meaningful ?
Any insights would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
Hello there is always working for yourself ,making /importing stuff . One thing i did was buy some bare land and got planning for a barn ,you then have the right to live there while you build it ,then sell for a profit . There are all sorts of things made and sold on ebay .
I could do that whole property thing but I'm not in that position atm. Are you building your own place ?
Ended up buying a run down place ,not been lived in for 20 years .Just tidying it up really ,plumbing, kitchen ,bit of plastering ,bathroom, alot of clearing .
Would be nice to build a house but starting to feel old ,built a log cabin about 5 years ago ,and lived in that off grid for a year which was really good .So may do something like that ,if i can get the family into the idea again.
yeh just costs so much to get anybody to do anything theses days. I'm in wales and it is all second homes round here, so the builders aren't interested unless they can get 150k and over for a job .
Yep, it's a lot of physical work doing it all by yourself. I see a lot of warriors on Grand Designs doing everything themselves but you only do that once unless you're a glutton for punishment . Log cabin holiday lets are very popular these days it seems. If I win the lotto I'll get a team to do some developing for me .
