Advice to a handyman

Please do not use an angle grinder to cut through metal pipes in an area with reticulated gas unless you have positively identified what that pipe is connected to at both ends, and found that it is not the neighbour's gas line.  You don't get burned, and I don't have to wait for the OSH people to photograph the scene before the pipes get repaired so I can have a hot shower.

Kthxbai.

Yike! I hope the handyman will be okay (even though it was, I suppose, his fault he got hurt), and that there was no significant property damage.

*shakes head* Some people really shouldn't be doing home repairs.
