    Cowboy electrician

    If you hear the customer had an electrician from Facebook you instantly cry a little inside. Very poor job, I've seen worse like but that is impressive how many regs he's managed to break in 1 job. I've used BG in the past, but not out of choice. Give me a schneider easy9 for domestic any day...

    Location of switches for fixed kitchen appliances.

    Personally the isolators are functional, not a safety thing (correct me if I'm wrong). They are there to isolate for maintainence/extended periods of no use. I wouldn't put them behind a drawer, but I wouldn't mind if a customer wanted them hidden to an extent. If you need the isolator to switch...

    2.5mm Lighting Circuit

    I'd swap it for an sfcu, yes technically it's OK, but technically drinking a full bottle of vodka every night is OK but you wouldn't do it.... hic.

    Rod set - worth it?

    The rods come in various set with the attachments, you just have to pick one that suits you. The mega set is the one to go for in my opinion. As for fitting other brands, I really can't say. I'd guess no for the major brands, but there's bound to be a Chinese knock off. Knock offs may snap...

    Rod set - worth it?

    For me it's the magnet and chain which is the best. It's saved me hours of frustration!

    Tricks for pulling wires

    The harder you pull the tighter they grip. I've never lost a cable from the end of one unless I wanted it to come out. Easier to get the cable off the rod than tape, you just push the gripper down and out it pops.

    1st fix protection from plaster

    @1Justin cut them out with a multi tool (occilator), it doesn't snap then because your basically putting 0 pressure on it.

    Tricks for pulling wires

    @Leesparkykent those Chinese finger traps are a bit of genius. I've used them for years and would never go back to taping cables to rods. They also double up as a tea bag fisher and coffee stirrer when you get desperate!

    1st fix protection from plaster

    I'm not sure about these yoozyboxes. It makes it hard for the plasterer to skim the wall flat, as he has to skim around the box. Granted a good plasterer would be annoyed but could still do a good job, and granted all they do is stick brown ---- to walls, cut our cables, ruin our marks... you...

    Fluke vs Megger which one?

    I use a megger 1720 too. Don't go for the 1730(I think it's this one), the bluetooth is a waste of time, apparently it's unreliable and buggy as hell. Great mft, does the whole lot. I can't say much about the flukes, I've used one in the past when I was subbing, but years ago.

    @D00DY_T00DY Gooooorn, plumb bob. .. good woody kind of words. Not those dreadfully tinny words like electricity. Hopefully someone else gets the reference or ill sound like a right kn*b

    Isn't that one of the harbingers of the apocalypse?

    What my lad made today at college.

    Much better than the ones I used to knock up. I didn't bend the legs, just straight pieces into the angle boxes. Bet your proud, and he should be too.

    A quick check on if replacement CU is required.

    Glad you've found your problem. Hope it all tests out well.

    Beautifully done. Simple and effective, the best way.

    Extention of DB cables.

    Under the floor isn't great. Wago boxes are mf if you used a tie wrap through the loops to seal the box, but you'd have a lot of them for an entire board. I'd try find a way to convince the customer to put an adaptable box with a din rail in it where the cu used to be and use wagos for the...
