Passed my annual assessment today. Assessor was impressed with my drip loop and the belt and braces approach of installing the socket on a slant to allow any water to drain out.

SparkySy · Apr 26, 2023

Nice at least the shower head is pointing away from the socket!

Dustydazzler · Apr 26, 2023

Rough as, I would have used white flex

James · Apr 26, 2023

That is rough, I would have expected to see some mini trunking on an installation like that.

Didn’t have any left on the van. It was T&E, black H07 or SWA. Considered SWA but thought they’d hang their shower gel off it. So went with the T&E.

Wouldn’t stick to the tiles and I ran out of screws.

Had to fix the socket in place with a couple of clout nails.

Actually thinking about it...

The biggest sin is that fact you didn't make a 'How To' YouTube video showing how you connected this shower up

Nobody in their right mind would use that shower.
No shampoo and that doesn't look like Camay soap.

I hope that's an IP rated surface box recesssed into the wall.

Great job. Only minor improvement I would suggest is maybe a light, but then again you could always set a lamp on the shower and plug it in.

Box, what box. Its just a hole chopped in the wall with a bit of wood behind to screw the face -plate to

You‘ve obviously found some of my other work.

Whilst on the subject of dodgy YouTube videos

Dustydazzler · Apr 27, 2023

So many things wrong with that video
He calls it a ground when we all know its an earth , he used black cable when we all know it should be green , he calls it an alligator clip when we all know its a crocodile clip...
Apart from that he did a good safe job

LewisM · Apr 27, 2023

Another quality install, somebody with a bent neck has put the board in too

mainline · Apr 27, 2023

The bubble looks correct.
Looks like landlord meter install.

LewisM · Apr 27, 2023

Yeah landlord meter, that top picture of the fuseboard is the correct orientation just the board isn't

Dustydazzler · Apr 27, 2023

The board is up the right way , its the house that is the wrong way

Dave OCD · Apr 27, 2023

Not exactly a dodgy trade pic but at a small job yesterday noticed the doors on the CU cupboard just inside the front door - why would anyone bother ?!! The current owners have lived there for 3 years and never spotted it !

I wonder how much time was spent with what's behind them.

Not much I'd say, a cheapo RCD Main Switch board wired by a baboon by the looks of it.

But it's being changed soon.
