    Mobile home wiring to existing house

    Hi all. I've been asked to hook up a mobile home to a house. My initial intention was to fit a rcbo in the dB and then a socket at the gable end. Blue type one. Earthing is tnc_s. So the previous owner has told the new owner that the mobile is negatively wired. He has told me this and tbh...

    Would you replace a 25 year old fire alarm panel if still working?

    They would not comply in a new installation but in an existing installation they should be fine

    Biggest site

    Was chatting with a guy today and we were chatting about the biggest sites we had work on. Mine was Intel fab 24. It had 700 electricians. I think about 3500 men in total. Was a great job for the old hiding spots. The good old days. Anyone on bigger?

    The Vets and Inevitable

    I know this is an old thread but just thought I'd share. Last night I had to make the decision to put my golden retriever to sleep. I kind of inherited her after my mum passed away last year. She was my mums loyal companion for 10 years and mine for 1. I'm devastated to be honest and it seems...

    Don't work live!

    Don't work live!

    I think we all take chances no matter what we do. I know my biggest fail is I'm too lazy to go to the van and get a bigger (heavier) ladder. I'll chance the wee fibre one. Sometimes I won't change my footwear either. I know I should and I know if something happens I'll be told you were supplied...

    Don't work live!

    In fairness all the guys are top notch(better tradesmen than me)All at least 20 years in the trade. But we are only human. The phone could ring and that simple distraction could do harm.

    Don't work live!

    No its not. But these big companies don't think like that. The real world is somewhat different than the ideal one. Some times you bite your lips and get on with it.
