Someone wanted me to road mine, cabless, 15miles to go dig a big hole for freemans. Ive politely declined and I have the 3c3 with the shuttle torque converter and its the middle of nowhere here with hardly any traffic! Braver man than I am. Im building myself up to a 3km trip to the other house once I get a bit nearer legality.
Having good brakes will come in handy working on your house though, everyone I met in real life told me not to bother trying to fix the brakes as they were all like that, but scooping the gunge of ages and greasing the splines so the brakes ran free and work was one of the things I did last year that made a real difference. The other was getting rid of a tyre with low tread and fitting a good secondhand one. If your just rolling round a tarmac'd yard, it'll be fine, but get it on any soft stuff and you'll curse when it starts spinning the tyres when it gets a bit soft.
Today I had to get down the bottom of a slope to finish the end for the pipe trench carrying the rainwater and fosse system outlet into the garden (no mains sewerage or drains here!) and it was a joy to hold her on slope with the brakes while I got the buckets bit into the slope properly to anchor myself before levelling out, and at one point when a wheel was bogged, to be able to move the un-locking pin and dab the brake on that side and get drive to the other wheel is really handy too, poor man's diff lock

But all the above will be obvious to some of the chaps who worked them full time for a living, but I'm just learning its foibles the same as you I guess
