He shoulda asked her to "work it off".

I have indeed done the "rm -rf /var/www" thing on a client before (I was hosting them as well). Followed it up with dropping their DNS records, etc. all for non payment for some web coding work I did and a place to run it for them. "Oh we wouldn't cheat you, we're good Christians". Which is why I insisted on hosting them so I could in fact remove their stuff when they didn't pay. Not to go all PARFy but I've got tons of experience with "good Christians" who tell me they are that and then try to lie cheat and steal.

WOW, did you even watch the video? Is your bigotry showing?

I've seen variations of this video, yard work, or some other chore...

Of course not, he was too busy figuring out how he could talk about himself. 50% of replies are "I had it worst/better than you." Fits forum users like a glove.

Funny as but then I remembered all of the work I did on my "ex in laws" house, early 90s.

1. Main bathroom remodel.
2. Demolish and reconstruct front yard retaining wall (more than 6 meters long).
3. Build from scratch rear retaining wall (again more than 6 meters long).
4. Laid floor tiles in about 40% of the house.
5. Built in robe install main bed room.
6. Air conditioner install.

I could go on...

hahha...

great stuff.

i remember talking chit at my MIL's house. she was getting quotes to get a lawn put in with new sprinklers. i just muttered."pffth...i could do it all for $2k". i was sitting on their computer, and i just see an arm go by my face and my MIL puts $2000 in cash on the keyboard. my girlfriend, now wife laughed so hard at me.

i about killed my BIL, but i got it done. i had enough change for a few ice cream floats for my two man crew. but my MIL loves me now. she tells me all the time. even my own mom got uncomfortable. hahahhaha..

My wife would say she has been making payments for 50 years for her barn and fences and now the maintenance is costing her more.

Similar situation when my FIL wanted to build a small barn for the horse when he got rid of the last of his cattle. He was talking about hiring someone to build basically a stall and room for a few bales of hay. I told him I could do it for half the price. He wanted to see the figures so I drew up plans for a 12 x12 box stall with equal space for hay, costed it to the last stud and door latch.
When it was finished with insulated walls and ceilings and repurposed double glazed windows, he joked about moving in and letting the horse have the old house.

and maybe the primary motive was to bash Christians?

It must be so embarrassing to be so blatantly obvious

I've seen a handful of videos from the UK where people did destroy/remove work due to non-payment. So I was expecting another one of those.

NICE!! I wish I could report similar results. I could have spaced the sprinkler heads better for more overlap/coverage. I had a tiny spot that could use more water.
