Right ... Just been nudged to set this up by Paul.M and sounds a good idea following recent threads I've done in the Arms..

Rules....No Offensive material... edit if required before posting as this is the public arena.
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:

The red wires are attached to the plug pins/back plate that is still inserted in the socket,

No what you see are blast marks not a back plate

 

[Let me think]

Couple of years ago we (family) moved into a local authority rented property.

Having small children around, I expressed my concern about use of latch bolt on bathroom door (i.e. could lock themselves in and no way to get them out wihtout breaking down the door)


Not a problem, they sent out a 'joiner' to fix, came back from work to see this.


Give them credit where credit is due they had sorted out the problem with the lock - turns out they didn't have all the right parts to hand at the time, so this was 'just' a temporary fix. Thankfully it did get sorted many weeks later - even managed to get new doors out of it

That's a serious point. I recall that as a toddler we had an outside loo - with a bolt to lock the door. I could only just reach the bolt - and when I came to unlock the door, I found it was really stiff (think door that's dropped a little so the bolt is misaligned with the keeper).
I guess I remember that incident because I struggled to get out, going from "oh dear" to tears and thinking I was stuck quite quickly I did eventually manage to get the bolt back, and I suspect I never bolted the door again

Not making me mad Mate, just wonder why people have to talk like rock stars rather than professional trades people.

What does ?

sorry for my delay and seemingly random post.

correct terminology!

It’s vital for the ‘young uns’ development.

Brand new install. This is what they did today. Rather than change the Tee to a elbow, even had a spare elbow, they just (badly) cut the trunking around the tee.240V cable in left trunking, 24V fire alarm on the right, both go up into the ceiling. Easy access from above.

Installed today. I would not have the cheek to leave it pi**ed like that. Only MDF, so no excuse.

That’s dog poop that. Looks awful.
I’ve had to crowbar a old board off the Wall today to replace it due to tonnes and tonnes of fire foam used in the top of it. Then had to go into the eves of a loft to ---- about getting the foam out of the hole and the cables clean at about midday. Came out looking like I’d done a morning swim.

are you sure that they are screwded to the MDf board and not just held on by the bushing nut....?

and those faceplate screws are all over the place.

Too lazy to swap a tee for an elbow. It was their mess up in the first place, they had run their high level horizontal trunking the full length, blocking other services and even removing my cabling that was coming through the ceiling. It had all been agreed, their stuff on the left and mine on the right, even marked as such.
Trunking to the left has 240V mains, on the right is 24V fire alarm, but they have also now run 240V mains in the right hand side to feed the two fused spurs.

Will the NICEIC be bothered if I reported it & asked them to come & inspect?
Rest of their work is dog s*** also.

This is their new wiring in the loft, the grey and red cables. On the other side of the wooden wall is a hall, they have strung their cables from the rafters, using offcuts of T&E with a screw through it for cable supports.
