Right ... Just been nudged to set this up by Paul.M and sounds a good idea following recent threads I've done in the Arms..

Rules....No Offensive material... edit if required before posting as this is the public arena.
Anything to do with the trade or in and around it ...H&S pic's welcome.



I've posted this a few times and this is at a mates house following a kitchen refirb several yrs ago. mg_smile:

Step 6: Make sure the last-mentioned length of T&E is too short to reach the shower unit, and be devilishly clever by installing a JB which gives you a neat right-angle...and finish off by connecting another piece of T&E from the JB to the shower by utilising the already existing hole through which the hot and cold supplies are fed...finally, although not present in this installation, label the plug in the double socket in the cupboard as "Widowmaker", and you're done!

A big thumbs up to @pirate for his excellent step by step guide .
Particularly impressed by the way you managed to point out so many
“handy hints” all on the same installation.

If I had to be pedantic then I would like to point out that I think the trunking looks like it is not square.

 

[Dustydazzler]

That had ‘wet pants’ written all over it ...

Completely agree @James...it’s very good of @pirate to take the time to do a very in depth tutorial ?

Reference @pirate power shower.... you know damn well we’re not allowed step by step instructions on here.... I’ve got a good mind to report you!

“DAAAAAAAN! Pirate’s being naughty!“

bypass the gas meter. brick it all in, tell them you are an all electric household. then sell the meter to a cannabis farm. sorted.

It's obvious really... can't believe I didn't think of it first...

Found today while on a job, upfront RCD protecting the whole installation. Anyone for reverse polarity? ?‍

 

[Dustydazzler]

At least they bothered to Earth the enclosure

 

[Moley]

I thought you were only supposed to earth plastic enclosures ;-)

 

[telectrix]

that is shocking. (pun intended).

I'm impressed they go so many colour choices in there. Not that common to get white wires in to the mix...

Of all the crummy things going on in that photo, they could have at least mounted the 2 boxes at the same height side by side.

The earth conductor looks rather small!

at least it’s there even if it is rather small ...

We had been asked to rectify this, neither enclosure had a cover fitted. They are all but inaccessible I had to lay on my front and crawl in to take the pic, needless to say they are still like it.

That's what I keep saying to the missus.

Poor girl, that’s what I said to her too.

I was tempted to lick it...

Takes a lot to write one of those old MK sockets off.

 

[telectrix]

MK don't make 'em as they used to.

Make sure you switch it on before you do.....but wash your hands after.

The tenants have realised that when I replace a damaged 1 gang it gets replaced by a 2 gang, seems to be a lot of them getting damaged recently in this building.
