Can't believe it! - Said it was fixed

[Inteificio]

Hi,

A few will remember a thread in December where a sparky had done some work at my parents house had done a lousy job.

He had SWA going straight in to the main board unsupported, two strands of the steel were in a terminal block and went to the earth bar. This is two core wire, the sole CPC is two strands of steel, these two strands of steel were the only thing supporting the SWA.

I kicked off and was assured the issue was fixed.

Went back this weekend and this is what I saw.



So what are the thoughts of the forum?

(Going back next weekend with my tester, circuit is off until then.)

I should add that earth wire behind it is not for this circuit.

It angers me seeing this, its quicker to gland it off properly rather than mess about with two strands of wire etc.

Whats the banjo doing? Not much by the looks of it.

why would a spark get a spark in to do their parents house...i remember the posts,spark goes in your parents house to do work and when he's gone you pull the job apart,because your to busy to do it..didnt belive it then and still dont now..

Spot on Tel, the voice of reason! For Gods sake we don't know the whole story so we should not judge! I know we all judge at times but i think Tel has brought us back to our senses!

Agreed, but my point is not to judge the OP. If you look at the original post it was December when he first looked at job, it is now May when he looked again. This is not someone that lives round the corner from his parents house. We don't know the whole story!
