    Came across this today

    Not sure if picture has uploaded. I opened up the main incoming box on outside wall to find the tails had been split in a Henly block and into an enclosure with a 100A main switch in it.

    What the lad did at college today.

    My son [and apprentice] was on practical at College today and last Monday and wanted me to post these pictures as he was quite proud of his efforts. I gave him some praise and a little bit of constructive criticism too. :smile: Not at all bad for a 16 year old though. :smile:
