OK. I would suggest the case you refer to is not relevant here. The OP was no holding himself out as a professional. On the contrary he was seeking wider input, so it is clear that he did not have or claim expertise. Hence the legal principle to which you refer is moot in this case.
But in any event the OP has decided not to proceed, apparently put off by the comments that addressed a perception of risk rather than the actual question. Such is life.
Don't like: wood, engines, electrickery, decorating, tiling, laying stone, plumbing, gardening or any kind of DIY. Not wild about spiders either.
