How can I stop him doing DIY? At the end of my tether!

[flowersonthepiano]

DH is driving me up the wall. He insisted on buying parts to fix the central heating and doing it himself, with the aid of YouTube videos.... He has no experience or qualifications in plumbing. He has replaced the pump and a valve and broke a stopcock/tap in the process. He's just gone to Wickes. I feel like running away. Why can't we just pay someone who knows what they're doing?! I've tried having this conversation, but he sees it as some sort of affront that I don't have confidence he will do a decent job - and is mean as hell and doesn't want to pay. He spent also spent half the day "cleaning out the garage" which consisted of putting all of the garden tools and an old car seat and various other things outside in the rain, and then abandoning them when the part for the central heating arrived to start on that job. I am at the end of my tether with it. How can I make him stop?!

If you have your own money, I'd consider eveni g up the relationship, if I were you. Does he not depend on your help for anything?

Well. With my exh, actually getting him to fucking do anything let alone DIY took some serious miracles. On those occasions he did.... his over used phrase on every. Single. Occasion. Was ‘ funko, we have a bit of a problem’ when he had invariably fucked something up, broken something, totally ruined it. He was shite.

Either kill him or ignore him. Do not get involved. Don’t help, don’t offer solutions. Let him sort it, sort his problems, Call in an expert. Otherwise you will somehow become to blame in some manner.

I am sat now whilst
My husband took a radiator off and it leaked he's an electrician but thinks he nows it all ../ over the years he's been good at fit but comes with a down fall he feels he head they right to do everything which doesn't always have the right outcome x

Replacing a pump and a stopcock is easy. I have done both and am a girly. I have also replaced the fuel tank in my Land Rover and fitted a new sender unit. If it was the electronics of the boiler fair enough, get worried but a lot of stuff is actually straightforward but people are scared. He might surprise you and it all works a treat

Funko I am currently ignoring (while fantasizing about killing him). I won't get involved and it will get sorted. I imagine. Somehow. Unfortunately it getting sorted usually involves some sort of unsuitable tape and one of the best towels under a mucky drip .

We're supposed to be moving soon but are not yet on the market. Any prospective buyers had certainly better beware....

Has he got more than the two jobs on at the moment? If it's just the two I would just leave him to it.
