Hey legends, welcome to the chaos 🛠️👂 Before you start asking me to save your flooded bathroom at 2 a.m., let’s get the boring-but-don’t-sue-me stuff out of the way. Everything in this group is EDUCATIONAL ENTERTAINMENT ONLY. Tips, live calls, sarcasm, bad jokes, memes, roasts, “advice”, photos, videos, voice notes, carrier pigeons — whatever shows up here is for laughs and learning. It is NOT: - Supervision - Licensed plumbing / gasfitting / electrical / drainage / building sign-off - Professional oversight or certification - Legal, financial, medical, structural, or regulated advice of any kind - Anything that makes me (Ossie) legally responsible if your pipe turns into Niagara Falls, your deck becomes a trampoline, or your marriage ends because you listened to “Mate… really?” 😂 You are 100% the boss of your own disaster. Every swing of the wrench, every cut you make, every “I’ll just try this” moment — that’s on YOU. Safety, compliance, damage, injury, cost, insurance claim, angry spouse, flooded lounge, Reddit humiliation — all yours. I’m just the sarcastic voice in your ear going “You sure about that, chief?” — not your insurance company, not your mum, not your boss, not even your dog. No guarantees. No refunds on stupidity. Proceed at your own risk. 😏 By joining, posting, asking questions, DMing me, booking a call, lurking, breathing, or existing in this group — you agree that Ossie (and any future admins/mods who survive the sarcasm) are not liable for: - Any loss - Any damage - Any injury - Any emotional trauma from my bad jokes - Any exploding hot water cylinder - Any of your life choices that end up on r/DIYfail Quick house rules so we can all have fun: 1. Ask stupid questions. We’ll laugh for 30 seconds, then drop the real answer so you don’t stay stupid forever. 2. No spam, no crypto bros, no “hey美女”, no self-promo unless I ask for it. 3. Be decent. Sarcasm = love language here. Bullying = instant ban. 4. Read the disclaimers. If you ignore them and something goes boom… well… I told you so. 😈

Hey legends, Welcome to Ossie Da Invisible Live Mentor — the place where plumbing disasters, deck disasters, woodwork disasters and curtain-rod disasters come to get judged… lovingly. I’m Ossie (@OssieLiveMentor on X). 30+ years in the trades: ex-Gauteng IOPSA chairman, PIRB inspector/auditor, taught solar & heat pumps, ran my own business, got stabbed in the face once (long story), lost the right eye, now I’m your voice in the ear instead of crawling under houses. This group is for loose, real-time plumbing & DIY chat — not formal training, not supervision, just practical “what would I do next” brainstorming when you’re stuck mid-job. Leaks, blockages, decks, woodwork, basic fixes — bring it. Rules of the workshop: 1. Ask stupid questions. We can all laugh for a minute, then get the real answer everyone else was actually looking for. If you don’t ask the question you might remain stupid for the rest of your life. 2. No spam, no self-promo, no crypto shills, no “hey美女” bots. 3. Be decent — sarcasm is encouraged, bullying is not. 4. Everything here is educational entertainment only — read the full disclaimers in the pinned posts on the community page. I’m not liable if your pipe explodes or your deck becomes a diving board. What happens next: - Drop a quick intro below: what’s your biggest current headache? - Check the pinned tips & polls for daily value. - Free group live Q&A sessions coming soon — bring your job photos or questions. - Premium 1:1 live calls launching soon for deeper “in your ear” help. So… what stupid question have you been too proud to ask? Fire away. I’ve got the popcorn and the wrench ready. 🛠️👂 — Ossie (Your invisible, slightly judgmental live mentor, all for laughs and giggles)
