      My thoughts of whether I do it myself is the potential damage I can cause.
      I repaired a storm water pipe which had completely disintegrated, replaced pipe and connected it to the storm water.
      I'm about to start on some Agi drains.
      I also unblocked my toilet, worst and best $85 I have ever spent on hiring a Toilet snake.

      Read your state laws or the Plumbing code of Australia (PCA), there’s tons of information online.

      In NSW for example it’s legal to change your own washers or shower heads and a few other minor works but connecting to a sewer main would be illegal to DIY.

      • altomic on 10/05/2024 - 11:20

        In 1977 an 8 year old child was killed after her father changed the shower head by himself. The child was unfortunately killed by an out of control car 30kms from the home. But plumbing unions believe that causation was behind this tragic death and lobbied ($$$) politicians to "think of the children". So politicians enacted such necessary safety regulations and the number of deaths from amateurs changing washers or showerheads has dropped dramatically.

      It's kind of ridiculous, especially when I see shit done by registered plumbers that doesn't even meet aus standard. I do a lot of stuff on my property and the government can go get f'ed as far as I care. The worst that'll happen is it won't be covered by insurance if something goes wrong.

    It was only a few months ago that it became legal to use a plunger on a toilet in W.A or replace a shower head .

    Wasted 10 minutes reading this from cover to cover. This is not a "Step-by-Step Manual", the 'steps' listed are absolutely obvious with no useful details.

    Also, beginning to suspect it was written by an AI-tool:

    15.3. Safety Kits
    5. Safety glass: This is optional. It is worn to protect the eyes from harmful rays.

    Does it tell you which massive ute to buy before starting work?

    • Widget on 19/05/2024 - 10:09

      (many) utes are massive because the manufacturer made them that way. Tradies don't have much of a choice when buying one, especially if new.

    Downloaded and read it, not anything special. Mainly common sense stuff really. May help some people but a youtube vid would be better as it will show you specifics and what to look for.

  • Alley Cat on 10/05/2024 - 12:01

    YouTube is quite good for this. The real cost is in obtaining the code. I learned that you have to pay about $300 to get the iso standard, which makes no sense at all. It’s like in order to know the law, you have to pay to get a copy, and they update it once every few years.

    A quick look at the sample and you can see this is quite literally ChatGPT. AI scanners show it as AI generated content too

    This is a big reason I finally cancelled Prime a few months back. The amount of absolute garbage you have to sift through on Amazon to find something decent is mind boggling. AI generated "books", identical Chinese products from hundreds of different "brands".

    I just searched "umbrella" and got: AmazonBasics, Sheyuinch, Samsonite, erised's bifrost, Repel Umbrella, TIME LOVER, umenice, G4Free, Balios, Royal Walk, DOFOWOT, XIXVON, CUBY, Lejorain, TUMELLA, IOco, Prostorm, Frafuo, Jopenope, Knirps, totes, Aymorder…. It just goes on and on and on. I only know of Samsonite to be an actual brand, AmazonBasics is known for ripping off good products and putting legitimate small companies out of business, the rest is AliExpress level results at a higher markup

    There’s heaps better info on YouTube. There’s bunnings videos and plenty others out there with real information.

    Depending on the job DIY plumbing is a risk of insurance not being paid out, which might actually matter if the upstairs bathroom floods the whole house.

    It's super basic. Just describes general tools and terminology. Ideal for someone who's never used a screwdriver in their life
