    Paid electrician, is this right or normal?

    I’ve had an electrician rewire my house. Is it normal for him to leave it like this… Also, some switched were the wrong way round. Is this normal to leave it like this for me to sort out or should they at least clean the plaster splashes off?

    Is this the right advice?

    I know I’m not qualified in the PV installation side of things, but I’m pretty sure this isn’t the correct advice to be telling a homeowner... (I was there on another matter, but this made me giggle) “remove the DNO fuse“.... really? The invertor is powered from an mcb in a split rcd board...
