same job, this was how the stupid gombeens had supplied an earth to the C/U
the DNO engineer was not impressed and took their details
I gather they are no longer carrying out electrical work

one of my nicer jobs, was when I visited a regular customer to look at a new house for them
I dragged all of my test gear in, but did not even open the box up
like a museum it was

ha ha
no
oddly enough he told me that as he was in possesion of an electrical certificate then it was safe
I pointed out that a car with a bent MOT was not safe ?
in fact I nearly told him to go and boil his head, I dont need that hassle at my age
the DNO engineer put him right
by the way Gombeen comes from an old poem the Gombeen man
I relishy using the english language to its full potential, so much better than swearing, recently I suggested a rather shoddy tradesmen should avail himself of a frontal lobotomy !!

Hi, Stevie here. I posted a new thread as I didn't see this - here's the consumer unit(s) I bumped into for a 1 bedroom flat which you can access by simply climbing up through a 700mm square hatch and crawling along the top of the 600mm suspended ceiling for about 10ft

Errr, youd think at least some effort to pull it through inside the mast.

Must have run out of cable ties.

This is what we discovered after an annual test on a factory, this was protecting a 32 amp circuit.

Spot the mistake.

Switch was placed to close to a cupboard and had to be moved?

Not exactly dodgy Electrical work but back in 1995/96 I was doing rewires for the council and we would regularly come across 7029 cable and in one case we had to rewire an old cottage that was still using 15amp sockets, complete with the socket spur of of the cooker switch.

I like pic 3, novel use of the rcbo flying lead... lol

Concrete ceiling in the bathroom - I'd put in a 2 inch drop down ceiling to run a new lighting cable but each to their own

An economical way to feed a loft extension and an interesting IP rating failure.

DPG · Jun 10, 2016

Nice one

Bett there were a lot of light in the loft! Surprised they bothered with an RCD to be honest.

Intresting way for the upstairs tennant to reset rcd, nice pully system.
