    To go central lighting or nnot - thats the question?

    Agreed a basic price but I explained that this would depend on attic conditions and any changes the client wanted. There's a lot of LED strip now appearing in the spec which is making me this a central wiring panel on each floor may make the lighting easier

    Thats what i'm thinking at this stage but was also wondering if anyone has gone further and kept all of the cabling up on baskets or something - makes maintenance / changes easier but then climbing around afterward on 450mm of rockwool isn't easy either

    Validity of old qualifications

    2382 sounds a good start as your right you don't forget a trade and I've stayed involved in and around it for years.

    Validity of old qualifications

    Thanks for the vote of confidence Glennspark. It got me upset a bit as well I don't think there was much at the time to touch a 4 year apprenticeship - but I probably would say that!. Thing is, I'm not sure what I need to do next to get back in the trade in terms of catch up courses or who I...
