You want to kill yourself by bodging a job, feel free. Not my problem.
You seem to have a problem telling the difference between unskilled and
unqualified though, I have met and worked with many people of both
flavours and would definitely not trust some of the most highly

and certified by a CORGI engineer before it's connected or reconnected
to the gas supply)
