Blimey, never seen anything like this before!

I was asked by a friend to connect up some lights in their store room. You can make out the cable on the ceiling coming out of the conduit ready to be connected to one of the CU's.
This is what I came across.
I said 'No'!

Could've always quoted to put it right

Lol....They'll need some lighting to complete the wiring as there appears to be no windows. Offer to supply some temporary lighting.......

Should have put a quote in and told them cash price and official price.

I'd love to see the finished install.

Oh nightmare.

Yeah, those conduit spout lids are difficult to get hold of; I can see why you said no, despite there being plenty of accessible points to connect into!

I know the manager and she said that the owner is highly unlikely to get it done so i'm not going to spend an hour arranging a quote. I'd love to tidy it up though!

Grab a spoon and a fork and away you go.

Looking at the picture prompted David Attenborough to start narrating in my head about the density of the vines in the rainforest.

Mmmmmmm.....
Nice.

It never fails to amaze me that the meter installers would carry out their work without seeming to bat an eyelid in these circumstances.

I was thinking more of a Kelp forest but the absence of sharks make me lean towards above water

So it's a little bit untidy ?
where's your sense of adventure ?
Think of it as a challenge ?

So extend the steel conduit to a DB and be done with the job.

What’s the problem? An electrician who can’t cope with a bit of steel conduit?
