HI,
Might be a little off the wall and depends on how much spare time you have.
But have you thought of approaching some local handyman/builders and offering some of your time in return for learning skills from them?
I have spoken to a couple in my area on this idea and they were happy enough to consider it. Though you need to be mindful of the risk you take in getting hurt while helping them.
cheers

I like the builders labourer idea, but why on someone elses property? Do it on yours. Sure it increases the costs of your first couple of reno’s somewhat, but the learning curve will be well worth it. Otherwise try your local TAFE college for Adult education courses and then you can also use the DIY courses at places like Bunnings. Otherwise speak with someone at Bunnings explain your problem flick them $100 flash in the pan to cruise by and spend the day teaching you on the job. Most of the older guys there are tradesman so they should know…
