nah, but got a golf club, butt end for flicking up the breaker, head end for pressing the test button on the RCD.

or using a 6 iron, whack the golf ball up onto the RCD test button. also checks the rigidity of the CU enclosure with all the misses.

Close, but that's not quite right....

Couple of recent jobs

2 bed 7 year old barn conversion wired by a "professional builders time served spark" every other light switch or lamp either had all the cpc's cut of or all but one, all switch's metal and obviously no fly lead.
took me 2 days to un pick the "work" and make the place safe, also the socket circuits were many and made no logical sense what so ever, so circuit 1 had 1 socket in the utility then 2 in a bedroom, the other 2 sockets in that bedroom came from a different circuit, 5 x neutrals in to a 3 way push connector apparently is a new standard?

Nice plenty of fuel to propagate a fire.

Extension lead under a metal frame door only a matter of time before the live was damaged. Ironically it supplied an electronic temperature device for Covid testing to ensure safety of the staff.

Did you PAT test it? ?

I'd hammer it, not pat it.

In the bin now. Here is a dist board from the same site.

telectrix · May 11, 2021

Scouser would have that refurbished and on ebay for £300.

Was that outside?

Near enough.

westward10 · May 11, 2021

Same site testing this from some stairs someone built across the intake to a mezz level.

DPG · May 11, 2021

Were the metal stairs bonded? Only kidding, just thought I'd get a debate started!

westward10 · May 11, 2021

They were actually although they probably don't need it. That MEM board and it's isolator have no earth connected but all tests out okay.

DPG · May 11, 2021

Cant believe they didn't at least cut a section out of that checker plate to allow access.
