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.

Depends on where the tree is.

Well it would normamly be on your own property you just can't go on to someone elses land and chop down a tree because you feel like it.



Plenty of youtube videos of people ssaving money by cutting
therio own trees down and it ends up on their house or car.

And vastly more who managed to cut down
the tree without doing anything like that.

and even more getting a pro in to do it.


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 ?

That there is a variety of equipment that
will be fine for cutting down most trees.

And you would need to either buy these tools or rent them wouldn;t you.
Ypu might also wan the PPE such as chain mail trousers and other equipment the tree surgeons use.



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.

You're welcome to get one of the other types of
saws that even someone as stupid as you can use.
Just saw one on one of the local facebook buy sell
swap groups this morning for just $20.

buying a saw doesn;t make you compendent to do the job.


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.

Nope, worked fine.

H&S isn't about whether or not something works fine.


I bet you never even used PPE

I'm not stupid enough to use that.

course not, not even a hard hat,

I do have one of those but not stupid enough to use it.

Your skull is thick enough as it is.



you just told me that your mates did it.

Can't manage even the most basic comprehension,
presumably because you are completely blotto, as always.

yuo told me yuor mates helped you build yuor house.
were you just lying again or do you forget your mates when it suites you.


So you had a technoklutzes just going around doing the painting.

Nope. HE DID THAT ON HIS OWN HOUSE AFTER
HE GOT SUBCONTRACTORS TO DO ALL THE MORE
DIFFICULT STUFF.

So you didn;t help him then ?


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.

Never said that HE built his own house, stupid.

I actually said

The worst of the technoklutzes just did the easiest stuff,

which means little.


Nope, I said

The worst of the technoklutzes just did the easiest stuff,

and there's more than one of them.

Nope, not with those that were infected with the new
house fad by me building my own house from scratch.

But any fool can build their own house, millions do.
But if you havent the land uhnless youm can hang it from a cloud
you can;t build your own home in London and that goes for most
major cities.


you said you built your own house,

Yes.

which of course any fool can do with help from others,

I didn't have any help from others in that sense.

We did a bit of helping each other with the stuff that
wasn't possible for a single person to do by themselves
like with getting the big J beams up on the roof and
the metal decking. We helped each other to do that
stuff.

so where is this house ?


who built the technoklutzes houses ?

The worst of the technoklutzes got subcontractors
to do everything except the painting.

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.

It wastes a lot more paint than doing
it with a roller with concrete blocks.

So what did you paint your house with.



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.

Nope, to claim he did the work. He didn't.

So you couldn't sign it off yourself then why is that ?
I'll try again why didn;t you sign the work off yuorself ?
if DIY is cheaper.
Or why did you get him in when you could have done it youself.

Are you too stupid is that the reason.



Why did you need someone esle ?

Because that is what the law requires here, the electrical
wiring has to be done by a licensed electrical contractor.

Why didn't you become a licensed electrical contractor if it's cheaper to DIY.
