You really are an idiot.

We'll see...

If you want to cut a tree down you need to ask the
council in case it's listed or otherwise protected.

You need to do that regardless of whether
you are cutting it down yourself or paying
someone else to cut it down.

I thought you also need to know what you are doing.
Plenty of youtube videos of people ssaving money by cutting therio own trees down and it ends up on their house or car.


If you have a brain you want to buy all the correct euipment

There is no "all the correct equipment", there
are plenty of different ways to cut trees down.

What does that mean ?


or at least hire it, and that's not cheap,

Bull****. I just got another electric chainsaw from
a garage/yard sale for just $20 and it works fine.

good for you. Doesn't mean you're compendent to use it though.


But of course you could break the H&S rules I suppose.

I broke no H&S rules except that in the summer I chose
to do it in just shorts and thongs, not even a shirt.

That's just one of the things that make you an idiot.

I bet you never even used PPE

I'm not stupid enough to use that.

course not, not even a hard hat, but you'll be ok with a thick skull.



When I built my own house from scratch,

so you didn;t actually buid it yourself

I did actually.

you had help.

**** all of that.

waht the help .......


Why didn;t yuo do it yourself as you said.

I did.

that triggered a bit of a rash of that with
quite a few of my mates and we did that
with each other's houses.

so you have to help out your mates how
many years have you been doing that for.




The worst of the technoklutzes just did the easiest stuff,

so that technoklutze mate of yours
did he build his own house too ?

I just said he didn't, stupid.

you didn't you just told me that your mates did it.
So you had a technoklutzes just going around doing the painting.


in one case one of them quite literally painted
the outside of the concrete block place with a
broom and a bucket of paint.

That was HIS OWN HOUSE, not mine, stupid.

Well lots of people paint their own houses, but that's not building it.


Was that because you were to stupid to
do it as I thought you did the DIY yourself.

That was him, not me, stupid. And he was the only
one that did that like that, all the rest managed to
do a lot more of the house building themselves.

a lot more of implies the technoklutzes did do building
and there's more than one of them.




When a mate of mine replaced my meter tails
I did NOT cliam to do thaqt MYSELF as a DIY
project, getting someone else to do yuor DIY

I never said that any of my DIY was done like that.

you said you built your own house, which of course any fool can do with help from others, who built the technoklutzes houses ?




HE PAINTED HIS OWN HOUSE THAT WAY, stupid.

why when you can do it yuorself.?

That is what I did, painted my own house.

They all painted their own houses.

That particular technoklutz chose to use a broom and
a bucket of paint WHEN PAINTING HIS OWN HOUSE.

So what is wrong with doing it that way.



I don't give a flying red **** what some H&S regulation requires.

I do what makes sense.



I got a licensed electrician to claim he had done the work.

So that was a lie then wasnt; it.


Ypou needed someone else to sign off the work you did.
Why did you need someone esle ?
