Installed this but I did not have enough Lux to commission it on the day.

Went back today to find this

!!! Bloody Idiots !!!

Surface clipped DC cables @ 400V + AC cable clipped direct (not on an RCD) covered in foam!!! Bloody Idiots!!!!!! I ripped it out away from the cables and left the mess for the builders to clean up. Left my phone number on the inverter if they want to ask any questions,..... rounded door handles lol.

Marsh Mellow Man from Ghost Busters springs to mind???

I think it looks quite Christmassy, shame to ruin it.

Lol, yes it does but would you like this in your house?

This house is having a re-wire, first fix done and then sprayed in this insulating foam. Dont think the re-wire spark will be happy about it pmsl.

It would be unlucky if you start removing it before the 12th night

Rewire I'm on at the moment, previous owner done all the work himself, not sure if he was an electrician.............

Frightening

Just a little tidying then

Hellmooth · Dec 7, 2015

Twice he'd connector blocked the earth do a conductor core........! Pretty much every connection in the lights and sockets had the cores snipped down as well! A red single coming out of a neutral connector block, don't know where that goes yet it was right at the end of the day, the house is empty though and no power. I don't know how half of it worked, the voltages I was getting at lighting circuits was crazy, ended up being poor connections and some nicked cables. Started of as a partial rewire...........

Was about to click on the report button!! That is unreal. And people keep saying ' I can do that no need to pay an Electrician ':75:

Asked if I could sort this out as the homeowner & his M8 had got this far & could I give a price to wire the house electrics they had just run to a new consumer unit & he even had the unit for me to install.
