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:

Got to give it 9/10 just because they managed to install both breakers the correct way up, which I’m 2021 is extremely rare to find

Even more impressive since they're MK and are actually vertical! (Though the fact there is such a short busbar probably helps....

The front door, on the way out

Where to start...

The DNO earth connection, and where the main earth wire heading south actually goes?

This one is from about 7 yrs ago, I have little recollection of this job but it is headed 'Blown buried supply pyro', this is not my handy work as I don't do domestic boards, what amazes me here is there are only 3 circuits and it looks like there are at least 20 in there given the state of the wiring.

You have to try damn hard to make an empty board look so full.

Have you got the guys number, might see if he can pull the same trick with my wallet.

Ummmm....
Where's the neutral and earth bar....

Oh, there they are

(and the earths are then not connected to the source - its an earth free installation! (or was - fixed it now, stripped it all out and rewired)

What's the IP rating of two carrier bags, I don't have my BBB to hand....?

(was originally in a shed which was recently taken down before it fell down apparently - twin and earth running 100 ft up the garden and still live, though on an RCD at least I guess...surprised it hadn't tripped more often)

I have yet to come across a failed double bagging. Heck a good double bagging is probably more water resistant than a standard external plug socket

A “friend” left an extension Lead outside that was bagged when he forgot about a set of Christmas lights.

come autumn the rcd caused issues. During the summer, the uv had turned the bag to dust and then the wind and rain destroyed it.
