[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 522470, member: 250"] A joiner is a trades person.. working with a physical visible substance, that if he he/she makes a mistake would probably be seen or heard before it causes much danger.. A plumber is a trades person.. working with a physical visible substance, that if he he/she makes a mistake would probably be seen or heard before it causes much danger.. An electrician is a trades person.. working with an invisible substance, that cannot be seen, smelt, heard, touched.. And if he he/she makes a mistake in their design, installation, testing.. could easily have killed someone before their mistake becomes evident.. Any DIY bod can make something work... But ensuring an alteration/addition fails-safe, is a bit more involved, and carries a bit more risk than a joiner or plumber.. Gas/Heating tradespersons have similar issues with the dangers of invisible Carbon Monoxide fumes.. which can also take a life pretty quickly.. But... Joiners / Builders / Kitchen fitters etc.. etc.. etc.. Is NOT a like-for-like comparison.. :) [/QUOTE]
