Well how about you go and mass-debate by yourself and let the OP get his questions out
there was 1 case were a bloke cut his throat ( he's dead ) by hiring an angle grinder & putting a circular saw blade in it , to cut a tree down !!
I like to think I am a bit more than a DIYer. Although I am not a tradesman, I work in the trade and I have now built 2 houses entirely myself from below the ground up. ok I have paid for a plaster as that is more of an art, but that is it. So I have done it myself but it is a bit more than Do It Yourself. I work my nuts off during the day, come home to my wife and kids and then work my nuts off during the evening, into the nights and weekends. To be fair, I am quite proud of what I have achieved and get fed up of some (not all, some are very helpful on here) professionals saying that everything should be left to them. I get that there are some things that are required to be left to the proffesionals but some/a lot of things can be done by a consciencous DIYer. They may not be able to do it as quickly but anything an be done if you try hard enough. Sorry, rant over.
