I think you miss the whole point of uk.d-i-y, which is to discuss
doing things yourself around the home rather than paying specialists
to do them for you.

When that involves simple tasks that are easily within the reach of a
person who is reasonably intelligent and blessed with a reasonable
amount of common sense, that's fine. When it goes beyond that, and
into the realms of needing professional advice, that's where problems
begin.

You, as a construction professional, have a choice to make. You can
either offer constructive advice or stay away altogether.

But you have chosen a Third Way, which consists of a combination of
(1) studiously avoiding offering any constructive advice and
(2) abusing anyone who doesn't immediately beat a path to your door
and pay you in exchange for your opinion.

That this approach endears you to no-one on here should not surprise
you, yet you seem irrationally upset by the hostility - all of which
you have thoroughly earned.

Do you think your negative attitude will increase your future fee
earnings, or reduce them? My bet is very firmly on the latter. ;-)


Bruce, before I reply to you post, tell me what
you do for a living?
