Anything to do with the trade or in and around it ...H&S pic's welcome.



I've posted this a few times and this is at a mates house following a kitchen refirb several yrs ago. mg_smile:

Are they all in the same house? Are they heavy handed or something ?

No, In an old Sunday school which was being used as a Church at the time. Nobody there could explain how they got like that, funny that!
Four of them were on a back wall and I suspect they had built a stage or similar up against it at some point and the damage was done then.
The first picture was of a socket feeding a coffee machine.

You recommending metal clad sockets then? And mounted higher maybe.

You think they've had trouble with db4-3? OMG how do people let things get that bad?????

You would have thought so but was told to replace like for like as it was having a change of occupancy and possibly use.

Scary, I know!

Are all these in the same property?

Is there anyone left alive?

Asked to quote to install a shower circuit for a replacement that had been fitted by wetpants. The house is lived in by a vulnerable person who has 24 hour carers.

The shaver socket is mounted above the sink so wet hands could plug in toothbrush, shaver etc and that cable hanging out the side is live.

The 230v fan 10cm above the max shower head height is 2m from the floor so in zone 1, it's IP24

So what is wrong with the shaver socket?

No isolation transformer.

 

[telectrix]

how anyone can get a shave with one of those new-fangled electric razors confounds me. no wonder every celeb has a "designer" beard ( that's just the female ones). i'd rather use a hedge trimmer.

The live bit of T&E coming out the side ending at a terminal strip.

First pic:
So a job I started... Full rewire, this was one of the socket rings I had started to install, left for the day, came back 2 days later and... Think wet pants should have gone to specsavers...

Second pic:
Same job, Surely running pipes approx 3mm from surface of floor isn't a good idea?

Wet pants went on to tell me how he was also an electrician and was thinking about getting the 18th edit.... Think he should concentrate on learning one thing at a time...

It's one thing to have one continuous run of pipe in the floor but there's not a chance in hell I'd put push fit fittings in the floor like that. Soldered copper maybe, after a pressure test but that's just asking for trouble in the future.

 

[Baddegg]

Why solder some joints and then push fit others if using copper? Looks tough imo.....
