Is this accessible?

[ElectriciansForums.net] Accessible or inaccessible?

To take this picture I had to put my phone through a downlight hole!

To gain access would have been carpets and boards up, or part of the ceiling down!
 
yet every day we come across round brown screw terminal boxes that have been there since napoleon , and still as tight as the day they were fitted.

Yeah agree there, of the hundreds I have checked as part of other works I have probably had 2-3 that were a bit slack.
 
Is a joint box below a wooden floor with a fitted carpet classed as accessible or inaccessible?
in my book weather you put a j/b or mf box under floor boards it is accessible at that time .providing you have marked the floor boards and tell the customer .and is down to the customer having going to put carpet down later.
the muppets make up wright the regs .its like the book of bull s**t the bible.

Yep...and most installed correctly by qualified sparks on top of their job. What's the problem with that?
We know why this mf box business has all come about...and ,to me, it won't make the slightest difference. Those installing faulty, insecure or underrated screw jb's will just carry on doing it anyway.
Just last month I found a new boiler supply jointed badly to a rfc with a 20amp 4 pole jb by a heating 'engineer' dipstick.

Your posts are usually illegible and I normally don't care but rewrite this bit actually trying to make sense - just for me, please. (I'm on the defensive of the Holy word - it's my job)
 
is it the bible ,book of bull s**t you can not get your head around !
Yeh, not helping!
You could rephrase it - "is it like the Bible, the book so full of wisdom that I haven't been anointed to understand it but with the Great Creators Grace, I may be able to - unlike the BS7671 thAt is, which remains a mystery!"
 
Thought so - I love you Buzz (that's also my job!)
