My husband and I often argue when contractors come to the house. On Monday, the balcony door needs to be repaired. That will take some time. On Friday, the plasterers will come to finish plastering the garage. They will need water, which means they also have to go inside the house.
I am self-employed and have to work constantly. My husband can’t just take time off either. Now he always expects me to quickly go home and supervise the contractors.
That’s nonsense. They can work on their own. I don’t have to sit there watching them. But my husband doesn’t want that at all. Instead, he prefers to get the in-laws involved so they can "guard" the house sitting on the sofa at home. Is it such a hassle like this for you too?

Our cleaner spends three hours in the house every week, so a few tradespeople don’t really matter to me.It can also be coordinated well, which means more security for me and the dirt gets dealt with right away.

Basically, we also stay with the contractors; it’s more about when they need to quickly check something because they have to improvise. We recently had a small water damage issue, and there were some hiccups here and there. It’s better to handle that on site.
I also have the option to work from home.
We were there the first time for the cleaning lady and window cleaner, but not after that. We know the people, though, and there’s nothing to steal at our place. And if there were, both are employees.
