    Don't bite the hand that feeds you. Be grateful of an extra opinion and any guidance offered. You may require his advice on something in the future so I certainly wouldn't snub him or say anything to hurt his feelings.


    I am grateful believe me but you cant get on when someone is trying to talk to you constantly. Im not the kind of person to be rude hence why i stay and talk.

    I think a kindly 'listen, lovely talking to you but I really have to get on. How about a cuppa when I'm here on xxxxday?' whilst walking him to the door couldn't offend.

    Well if you do not want the help turn the music up and 'not hear them' or say 'well guess I better be cracking on - thanks for the advice though' or just buy an extra brush / roller and get them to help out...

    Tell him your last DIY assistant died in a tragic accident caused by your careless loss of concentration (for full effect, gesticulate simultaneously with a seemingly live electrical wire)
