If you don't do this work very often I wouldn't bother making a temp board up, if he gets on with his neighbour I'm sure they wouldn't mind you running an extension lead for a couple hours whilst you do the changeover.
 
yeah his aren't your every day tropical fish, some of them are Fish that are found in the amazon they usually cost about £500-1000 each lol. The best he used to have was a vegetarian piraña, I went to school with his son and when we were kids we used to find it highly amusing feeding them whole grapes lol.

and no they don't eat anything as they are in their own tanks hence why he has about 8 large tanks.

I thought Amazon was supposed to be cheap.
 
Hi, I don't do a lot of domestic stuff but I'm going to do a board change for a friend. They want a new board but in and they currently have an old re-wireable 4 way board which has been massively overloaded and resulted in one of the fuses exploding into pieces.QUOTE]

If the board is so overloaded that it's causing this to happen, changing it for another isn't going to solve this problem unfortunstely........

It will, the reason for the overload was because some DIYer before he bought the house built an extension, they didn't have enough ways in the board so they took a bit of cable into a junction box and used it to feed the extra room, a shed in the garden, the garage and a shower in the bedroom. Hence the state of the fuse when someone decided to use it all at once.

I'm hoping to do more work like this though, at the moment I'm working through blood sucking agencies and they're failing me at the moment, 5 weeks out and counting.
