Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
No doubt.
But that's not an apples for apples comparison. Any tradie who's done all the training/apprenticing is going to be miles ahead of me with some Bunnings courses and YouTube videos.
I'm trying to teach myself some network admin and Linux at the moment from books. I've got a sneaky suspicion I would be better off going to Tafe. It's the classic Rumsfield, I don't know what I don't know.

What a disaster that shit is. Hessian cloth over shit insulation that bakes at 50°C in an Aussie roof space, the insulation and cloth bakes, crumbles and falls off leaving bare wires.
Oh BTW my original trade is a sparky, so not completely shonky.

It just means they are faster, neater, less waste, more efficient etc...
A basic tiling job in a bathroom, buy yourself a wet tile saw for $99, grout squeegie, all the trims and whatever else you need.
You got a few tricky bits, around the toilet, sink, drain and windows. Who cares if it takes 3 times as long and you fuck up 20 tiles.
The rest of it is surface prep the sticking squares down, they even have little X spacers to keep you right
I hear you on the Tafe but there's a good buzz by winging it on your own.

I need a current tester to find out which of this mess are the cables I need to cut and re route…

Next cab off the rank here once I finish the shed bench and storage shelves is ducted heating… Need to get Kirsty to choose the floor ducts she wants then I’ll be cutting holes in the floorboard and routing all the duct work.
And have a stab at getting the routing and duct size right so it’s balances, but probably will need to change some thingsonce I see how it performs. Return air inlet will be a bit of work though - big arse hole in the wall and a box built on the spare bedroom side of the wall that will need a wardrobe built over it later…

Holy twisties, might be on purpose to stop rats nibbling on them. Multimeter and a volt stick... if they are even legal now.

Nice looking timber in your house. Mine still had some of the bark on it. I would guess it's almost bullet proof by now.

Yeah its all very thick Tasmanian old growth hardwood! Tassie oak floors too. And a lot of big arse nails holding it all together - looks like it would have been hard yakka building it!

A mate who was partner in a shop did this. Used to take turns and camp out ...sleeping bag and camp bed behind the counter at night with Louisville slugger.

That's the main reason I do all my own building stuff. Because I want to. This is living.
I'd much prefer to be playing around with toys at my place, than out being a slave to the economist.

One of my mates had a career change, and is now an “earth optimisation consultant”, aka drives excavators and tippers for his old boss, who’s purchased all the garden/earth works/landscaping businesses in a region.
I send him this clip at least once a week. Sometimes I get back a fuck off, other times a “too late, we’ve been singing this all week over the cb”

Did the building inspection you had done mention any of this?

No, this is me wanting to move light switches. We put a new door into the lounge from the hall and turned part of the old section of the hall into a linen cupboard. So now I have hall lights int he linen cupboard
The wiring is otherwise functional, just not pretty.
I can ask my mate to come down and help. He managed to rewire ceiling fans and light switches at his old place so that the lights had three speeds and the fans were on or off. Very rare talent.No, this is me wanting to move light switches. We put a new door into the lounge from the hall and turned part of the old section of the hall into a linen cupboard.

has some good things to say
We've still got a couple of switches like this due to some either DIY sparkitude or a local electrician trying to offload extra cable on an unsuspecting punter. Seems to be due to having flow through power and additional switching wires...at which point I just call my sparky. So far he's hauled out much more cable than he's put in and it all still works...just a bit more to do. Haven't had a bill in three years either!

Five dead, man charged after deadliest Victorian crash in more than a decade
Police updated the death toll for the multi-vehicle crash near the NSW border from three to five after experts were called in to identify how many had died.
L(big)TIH I'd be pretty keen to get my hands on this champ and string him up by his danglers.....privileged fuckwits acting like tools, who would've thunk it...like that Porsche guy... what happened to him

Not an "accident" when you have fuckwits driving like that.
