Do you see any problems with this how project?

The problem I have with DIYers is they have little or no skill and they don't pull permits. It's a recipe for disaster. Everyone has heard the saying I'll do it right it's my own house.

I see some amateur hour editing. They should stick to what they know. It sounds like some 3rd party add-on to their site.Do you see any problems with this how project?

Maybe auto parts stores should only sell parts to licensed auto mechanics. Plumbing supplies should only sell to licensed plumbers.
If HomeDepot and Lowe's only sold to licensed trades people they wouldn't be in business.
Every time this comes up, I have to ask how much carpentry, plumbing, auto, etc. do you do instead of hiring somebody? You'd be two faced to say that somebody can't do your work but you can do theirs!
When one is refering to DIY'r, I don't think that the medical field comes to mind.And you have to buy your asprin from a Doctor because we can't have you practicing medicine without a license.
The biggest problem with a DIY'r is when the home gets sold. My neighbor just sold his house after owning for 4 years and he bought it from Tom who was a DIY'r. The guy that just sold it said "I should have known better than to buy a house from a handyman".
Where do you draw the line?
Heres the Circuit Detective, he's also helping 'DIY'ers . I bet you might really hate this guy Pierre!!

If you read my posts, it is not DIYers or their sites that I have issue with. It is a company that depends on the professionals to keep them in business. And that company is now, in my opinion, stepping on the hand that feeds it by explaining (and doing so poorly) to their own customers how to cut the professional out of the loop.
Read my second post, it sums it up.
