Cu change went to pot

[Sparkysoldman]

Cu change today. Quick test on quote showed faults on upstairs lighting circuit would need remedial work. Customer agreed do the change and sort out fault on hourly rate so all ok.

So arrive today and poke head in loft which was really a sight to behold.

Cable all over the shop all light circuits cut and replaced with heaters and extractor fans which were extracting into the chimney breast.

There was what appeared to be the remains of some sort of exotic plant. The place was very well insulated.

so 2 hr cu change and 10 hrs of remedials. Ie rewire lighting circuit

Landlord paid gladly as just wanted it sorted. He did say the place had been rented to a foreign gentleman who claimed to be a botonist so I guess that explains it

Unless you know differently,

I'm guessing it's not the first time a spark has come across this

 

[telectrix]

yeah. they have to plead guilty with mitigation and beg for the court's leniency. could be out in 2 or 3.

if you're a pro spark, either employed or self-employed, enter your details in the electricians in your area forum, pm a mod. the arms is a virtual pub. no DIYers or chancers allowed. not open to all.

Sorry somewhat unrelated but:

I sent a PM to Jason and Dan about seeing if I could get in for a pint.
Never heard back from either, Is that normal or do they just not like me LOL

 

[telectrix]

send another pm. mods might have overlooked your first.

 

[Tiny Spark]

Cheers Tel I shall do.

[telectrix]

was talking about the arms, geordie, not the karzi at bottom of the yard. :49:

 

[Geordie Spark]

it's where we can discuss things like pricing, materials costs, technical stuff, etc., where we don't want any tom dick and harry reading posts.

............. or Harriet - don't want to upset the female sparks around here Tel by not mentioning them. It's the 21st century and equality rules ko remember, and I suppose that means we have to consider those who ride on the other bus with their pink handcuffs too.

They were probably too busy propping up the bar to bother reading PMs.

 

[telectrix]

The arms needs a bit of maintenance so there's not really that much difference just now
