Decent amount of clips as well. Must have the enclosure still on order.

Some of the electrics are a bit mad out this way. Will need to try and get some pictures of the street live bus bar connections

Whilst doing my day job (painting) the light in my customers house started to flicker. So I removed the cover to find this monstrosity,

It's a council house so he's getting them to fix it,

Every screw was lose (terminals and fixings) I tightened all the terminals and removed the fixings. This way it can be fitted ontop of the ceiling instead of into the ceiling

Found today whilst testing. Good old ceiling fixers by the looks of things on price work. How do you not notice those cables?

freddo · Mar 6, 2018

Lol, had the same with ceiling fixers just before xmas, fortunately I put all the cables in oval tube so it was dead easy to replace the damaged cable.

I was recommended to a chap who's doing up his bungalow, when removing the old kitchen base units he came across this little gem....
After nearly 11 hours of hard graft it's all resited into a cupboard,new CU [The much maligned BG which I've never had a problem with],tested and certified.

The 'after' picture was before it was quite finished and I'd just connected the tails in quickly to do the live tests, they were subsequently redone tidier.

I particularly like the graffitti...I mean, who doesn't scribble their wiring ideas on the wall?
Redecorating recently, I stripped off some wallpaper near the thermostat in the hall, and there, preserved for all time, was the "working drawing" from years ago...and yes, it corresponded exactly to the wiring in the (now defunct) stat itself...except it wasn't quite defunct...it was unused and surplus to requirements, but still packed a punch when I fiddled with it...shoulda used my voltpen, dammit!

And that’s why they call you @Dave OCD, by the way was the spirit level for us to see? Just asking! Nice job.

1960s install - wiring diagram of installation folded and placed next to Wylex 3036 - how great is that. Respect to the ‘real’ sparks - that would take me 2 days just to draw that diagram. We’ve got it easy! (Don’t tell @Pete999 that I said that)
