Came across this today, whilst fault finding. Fortunately I didn't need to look inside it or isolate any of the circuits ............

Looks like a knitting machine, I think I can see a pair of socks emerging from the top.

Daft place to put a CU in the first place, Kevlar, hard hat and whatever else I might need well and truly in place.

I agree it’s a daft place to put a CU in the first place.
But it was clearly there first and two wrongs don’t make a right.

What a crazy electrician, installing a CU behind those pipes!

PS.. I think all trades are the same, it just depends on the person you get. Some electricians will not think about how their work affects other trades and some will, just the same with plumbers, plasterers etc etc.

Of course we're the best though, so that does kind of give us a right to do what we want.

option 1: move CU.
option 2: installl roller shutter door.
option 3 :customer is a numpty and deserves what he gets.

Normally mistakes happen, and things get obstructed by one trade or another, it's inevitable on some jobs, but being Human and caring we get over these things one way or another, you could blame the Electrician for putting the CU there, equally the Plumber is a complete Idiot for installing those pipes, looks like the art of consideration and communication are a dying art, terrible to carry on, the Plumber probably though well I need the money not my problem if the CU can't be opened, I have had this sort of thing happen on some of the jobs I used to work on, makes you want to take the culprit to one side and give hi a stiff talking too.
