The two deep fat fryers ? in a domestic kitchen, add in the 3 electric showers 2 upstairs, one in the shower block of the pool, the water heater in the pool, the fans and pumps in the pool and a full electric cooker and you have a little more than 60 amps ?

Went to a commercial job, large equestrian building open to the public, owner decides on change of use, and adds a new door, now the sensible thing would have been to consult me first to relocate the fire alarm cables, no he cut them and joints them like this, and straight up baulked when I quoted 300 pounds to remove the entire section of cables and run new sections correctly
he also wanted me to install caravan supplies onto a wonky old fence ??and a few other jobs
I was polite but said dont waste my time

Lovely eh ?
supply cable to an outbuilding
in this case the client had called a builder in to convert the garage into a bathroom and utility room
his muppets fitted a new C/U even wrote out a ticket, but failed to test or inspect the existing circuits
then the problems started trippingout when it rained
and of course our team could not be located
I had to get the DNO to supply a new earth to the property as the muppets had failed to test it ( made the readings up)
replace the external supply, several lights and sort out the new bathroom
