    Another relic from days of old.........

    Found this in an old boiler room..... It looks like a thermostat, there’s an old 2core micc that’s been chopped off, and also two mini bore copper pipes that connected into the bottom.

    Strangest thing you've had to write on an EICR.

    Has anybody ever had to write anything weird or strange on an EICR? My most memorable ones are... *No access to bedroom due to large number of wasps inside. *No access to external condenser unit cage due to large overgrown plants *socket fitted upside down (don't know why, no logic to it...

    Green "oil" leaking from twin and earth

    Did an EICR the other day, the lighting circuits are 1.5mm stranded with a 1mm solid core cpc (not tinned) Green sleeving is fitted some I'm guessing it from the 1970s. At most of the pendants and switches there's a green oily stuff leaking from the cable where it's stripped, some places it's...
