The wiring in my house was done by cowboys. They were paid to be cowboys ,probably good money, well I am no cowgirl,so I am having to correct some one else's Bodged job.Again I may be female but I can do many more jobs than a lot of the general man would even attempt I have just fitted an engine in a motorbike I am building myself ,a cbr600 fx ( honda) I do all my own work on my bikes I ask for help when I need it and listen so I know next time,last 3 days I have plumed and wired a new shower in my house with no leaks no electric shocks laid a path in back garden ,I decorate lay floors ,build laptops,, for which many men ask me to fix, (mainly clean up **** sites visited) I ride a blade motorbike pull wheelies and have a lot of fun,if I needed an electrician I would of called one so please no patronising answers, if you can't help please don't pretend you can because I find that rude my husband of 20 years wouldn't dream of doing that so why should you..

Dawn with all due respect, the forum is for electricians, in which you have no training nor qualifications. The subject is not just connecting the correct cables together, it is the testing of the installation, to ensure safety and certifying the job. We have professional female electricians on the site, who have trained for many years, and are totally respected by all, due to their experience. Any person coming onto a site such as this, without experience, will be told to seek professional help, for their own safety. I hope this explains the answers to your post.

Good for you!

I can't believe you'd do such a thing and then happily say so on an open forum. Whilst what you're doing isn't illegal, many believe it should be. So perhaps you should have a good think about what you're doing before you go any further down the wrong path. So my advice would be to dispose of the Honda somewhere no one will ever find it, and never speak of it again.

The OP was definitely hammered drunk or is winding us up...

Dawn if im honest I don't think you've gone the right way about asking for help. I always find the nice polite approach works best.

Whats your question

Guest112 · Apr 26, 2014

look back on her 4 posts and you'll see she has started threads in the same manner, in her first one the best response she had was to get an electrician in, I don't think she liked that hence her attitude,

Plenty of men have failed at this "simple" task and had to get me in to sort it, so suggest you do also.

That's a legally notifiable job, fyi. Should cost you around £300 ish from your local Buildings Control to get it inspected and certified. You did check it complies with all the requirements of section 701, didn't you? How did you get on with your supplementary bonding and cable calcs?

FFS - get off your high horse you stupid person, the reason you're taking heat has nothing to do with you being a woman and has everything to do with you being a muppet. When will people get it? ELECTRICITY KILLS and it's not just about screwing a few wires together until the thing fires up. I did a call-out last year to a DIY installed electric shower - the owners adult son had been electrocuted whilst using it due to an earthing fault. He was actually physically incapacitated and needed to be rescued (thankfully, and amazingly, survived 'ok'). So - if you want to play at being the big look-at-me with a chip on your shoulder and a point to prove,that's fine. Take up something which you can't kill someone with. Because your husband of 20 years would probably like to make it to 21, at least.
