    Day 5 Thread 5 - Not what I wanted on a Friday

    Had an old concrete loading ramp knocked down, dug out and concreted flat for more storage space. Delivery driver that normally parks outside of the yard gates must’ve seen the new big open space and drove right in to the new concrete. When asked if he saw the colour difference to the rest of...

    Littlespark A Thread A Day (4) “spider senses tingling”

    New customer asked me to have a look at her upstairs lighting… was tripping off as soon as put on. Don’t know the house, age, condition etc, so planned to be there all afternoon. Turned up, tools out. Was shown the board… dual rcd, only upstairs lights mcb is off. Rcd held. The house was...

    Day 4 Thread 4 - scared stiff as an apprentice

    When I was a 16 year old apprentice in 2008 there were two situations that scared me stiff that I’ll never forget and I thought I’d share and see if anyone else has any stories from their apprenticeship days. 1) I was tasked with changing the lamps in floodlights that shone on a hotels name...

    Day 3 Thread 3 - ULEZ Cabinet accident waiting to happen

    Just seen this on a YouTube short and thought I’d screenshot it. People chucking dog muck in a damaged ULEZ cabinet. Is that a service cut out with exposed live parts?

    Littlespark A Thread A Day (3) “My Turn For A Rant”

    Existing customer and close friend of the in-laws have just moved house and asked me to give it a quick look before getting me in to do a few jobs. Old…. Very old building… red/black twin and earth, with an earth in the lights… so not ancient. Accessories could do with being changed, but all...

    Littlespark A Thread A Day (2): "A Career in Korea"

    Ive mentioned it a couple of times elsewhere, but my eldest daughter is (finally) away to South Korea to teach English for a year... and its been a marathon effort to get her there. Pages and pages of forms, sending qualifications away to be first stamped by a notaries public, then apostiled...

    Day 2 Thread 2 - Soviet Union Electrics

    My mate who I went to college with has recently moved back to Lithuania and sent over some photos of the old Soviet Union era wiring. Line & Neutral, no CPC and the Conductors aren’t identifiable. The cores are aluminium. No Consumer Unit inside the flat, just a 3 pole MCB in the big Meter box...

    Post a thread a day DAY 1

    Today has been successful in removing an old control panel and physically mounting a new one. Made challenging by being wired in pyro. All I have left now is to make it work. Couple of day left I think! Better than the old one.

    Littlespark Thread A Day (1) “tis the season”

    Ok… not quite “… to be jolly” but it’s that time of year that many wholesalers run an annual Trade Day. Usually some games, a raffle and some discounts…. And maybe free breakfast. CEF last week. (Hotdogs, if you’re wondering) Didn’t get much except for a new set of WERA drivers. I tend to...

    2024 + 2025 TV and Movies Thread

    Alright I can't find the other one. So made a new one. Been watching 3 body problem on netflix and its right up my street. Fictional space related thing. I'm half way through and it's mint. No spoilers please (at a guess, everybody dies lol). Any other suggestions?

    Runpotec XB300 cable dispenser / runposticks / thread size

    Thinking of getting a Runpotec XB300 cable dispenser, as my yellow framed tripod thing is unsatisfactory for all the usual reasons. You can screw in a "Runpostick" (Runpotec's version of super rods) to extend the stubby little mandrel so you can put several drums on (e.g. singles for conduit)...
