    Toilet facilities on the job

    Sounds like time to walk away... For a couple of years we worked as part of a project upgrading phone masts, installing the PSUs. For obvious reasons no toilets there, all the job info packs had the address of the local Mc D or services to use the w.c. No peeing in the bushes allowed! I had no...

    Philips Ultra-Energy Saving Light Bulbs

    Interesting, might try these when my 1980s Philips SL18 jam jars eventually fail, they must have many thousands of hours on the clock by now.

    Consumer unit extension wiring

    I haven't installed a dual RCD board in years, RCBOs are so cheap now it doesn't really make sense to use them! I always hated the tangle of slightly too short internal tails as well.

    Electric boilers and DNO notification

    A lot of electric boilers have multiple elements, it's usually just a matter of unplugging one of them. Most ramp up by switching the elements on in sequence depending on the demand required, unplug the last stage. The last 2 I wired all had the 6th stage disconnected at the factory, the element...

    I love Honeywell Galaxy alarms. Also Belden type cable is often found poorly or incorrectly installed, usually where the screening is concerned.

    Screwdriver for M6 Roofing Bolts

    Nice, only the cheap rubbish version available locally, with horrible square 0.5mm thick nuts. I usually use mushroom head hex screws and serrated nuts now.
