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

Promised I'd replace the neighbours PIR light outside their garage. One look at the quality of the installation in there (Pic 1) told me what he soon confimed "yeah, a young lad I used to know from the pub did it for me a few years ago. I think he was training". Hmm. Anyway it was on a B32, extended from an existing house RFC- continuity of which was surprisingly still there. However, it goes to show the importance of visual. Pic 2 is a floating JB that I just had to open - straight off the 2.5mm RFC, unfused twin live 1.0mm (amazing that whoever did this had twin brown!) as a switch drop, then returned to a 5ft florry with the neutral via ths JB. This had nothing to do with the outside light - I found that in Pic 3 - more of that twin brown (with some blue masking tape to loosely inicate the neutral) unfused off the back of the socket below.

Anyway, 5 minute job takes me a good few hours. JB removed and replaced with 5a unswitched FCU, supplying rewired internal and external lighting. Oh and I even levelled up the sockets - neighbourly relations and all.

I think the DNO needs to be involved,

main fuse missing.

also looks like something has been on fire?

wonder what horror lies beneath that newish looking concrete.
 
it's great when you need to pull the main fuse and discover that the seals are missing anyway. ;)

also, i take it back, not a fire. just a lot of dirt!!

just read the sub note, didn't realise that was a Henley, thought originally it was MET.

Its been a Long day!

Brown is the colour of earth, when you’re talking about soil. You can see how they got confused with it.

I’m surprised they bothered to use any trunking.

By the look of the slatted wall, would this be in perhaps a shop of some kind?
Little shop of horrors.

Where I found the Fig 8 ring.

They wanted new sockets everywhere.

Took one look at the board and above the ceiling and said new circuits in a new board, I aint touching that.

Literally every place I looked was wrong, everywhere.

New RCBO board, 5 new circuits, 22 DSOs, cert and walk away advising them the rest needs attention.
