    Testing uploading an image

    I know most people do everything on a phone nowadays but I use a PC for stuff like this. to get the pictures to fit I open them with the build in Microsoft paint app, click on resize and set it to 50%, then save it.

    Faulty fan replacement responsibility?

    Could be anything, maybe the roof is leaking into the cavity and the fan is the outlet for it. Go and have a look, I would so I could hopefully say "not my job mate".

    Faulty fan replacement responsibility?

    You are only ever liable for stuff like this if you have been negligent, your insurer wont pay out if you fitted it correctly. Nothing inside a fan to leak like that anyway, looks like rainwater to me.

    Appliances in bathroom cupboard

    It is bizzare, all over the continent they have washing machines in bathrooms without any incidents, its the most logical place for them.

    Working by yourself

    That's what I do and have a business partner but he wants to "maximise profits" by doing separate jobs but he also thinks we should take every job because "that's our job" and quite frankly there's no chance of that happening my end. Seems a tad bizarre to push this on me because I'm the QM, he...

    Working by yourself

    Doesnt answer the question though, you could never get used to using a see-saw by yourself for eg.

    Working by yourself

    I really don't get how you do it by yourself. How can you turn up to say an occupied re-wire, maybe spend all day inching a bed across the room when two people could shift it in ten minutes, or you spend 3 hours trying to fish a cable under a floor when all it would take is one person at the...

    Working by yourself

    How many of you work on your own as opposed to with a helper/apprentice or partner or whatever, do you enjoy being on your lonesome or do you find it a pain in the arse. Me personally I have zero motivation or interest if I'm on a job by myself, things inevitably go wrong and you always need...

    UK Failing Apprentice - What to do

    Regarding the no show the other day, I did a day with his dad today and apparently even though the conversation with the lad went like this:- Me - are you coming back in tomorrow Him - I don't know am I? Me - I'm asking you if you want to come back in. Him - Yes I would like to. Me - OK, can...

    UK Failing Apprentice - What to do

    As most of you know I'm not very enthusiastic about taking on young people, I think they are a lost cause nowadays and none of them are any where near ready to be thrown into the middle of a working site, both on the physical side and the "banter" side of things. Yet despite all that a fellow...

    Will you vote?

    Isn't it strange that on a forum like this one that is only known by hard working people that there is a lot more open support for Reform and right wing views, yet go on a more general forum that's populated by all sorts of dross and this kind of talk gets shouted down immediately. It only...

    What would you do about this one.

    Yes the first bit is just standard wiring, TNS lead cable into cut-out, cut-out to meter, meter to DP isolator, top of isolator is sealed as per normal. From the unsealed output of the DP isolator it connects to the MICC cable which runs across the hall skirting board, under the stairs and feeds...

    What would you do about this one.

    That's what my mate said but the isolator is owned by the metering company and the top half is sealed, replace anyway? I could probably make it fit if I shuffled stuff around a bit inside the cupboard but that would still mean the seal fairy would have to pay a visit.

    What would you do about this one.

    Client (local authority) want the consumer unit upgrading from a plastic one to the latest spec. I have also done a bit of repair work in the kitchen so it can be plastered. This is how the power gets from the street to the consumer unit. firstly TNS with a looped supply into meter and isolator...

    UK Steel plate?

    This is one of them "BNO" setups isn't it, supply is owned by the DNO but the property owner is responsible for it or something like that. Is this still compliant regarding the earth coming off the neutral, its a CNE cable but after the meter/isolator. (yes thats a lot of abbreviations)

    We do a fair bit of work for insurance companies repairing/re-wiring flood and fire damaged properties. the one I looked at today has solar panels on the roof and an inverter in the loft, the house has had a fire. The panels and the sort that fasten directly to the roof laths with a flashing kit...
