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:

I suggest we don't get into a war of words here guys, as I read it, hightower's comment was jovial and said in jest regardless of the mechanics of mcb which would still operate in a fault or overload as it still integrally trips regardless of external switch tab position.

If anyone here needs to have the finger pointed at them to find a more suitable occupation then it would be the person who put the tape on the CU and thought this was ok as oppose to one of our forum Trainee's.

Play nice guys

Not exactly the worst thing in the world, but we only let council electricians work on our electrics at work. Councils are renowned for their red tape policies, but I didn't think it was literal.

Crazy eh! Was doing an eicr and get some odd voltage readings at the switches, had to search for this junction box to find out what was going on, it was under tongue and groove boards in the loft, had to strip them right back to pretty much the last one, hate t and g boards!

Me too, ever quoted for a job that involves running cables through a loft only to find it's jammed full of crap and boarded out everywhere after you make a start ? :lipsrsealed2:
