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 hate finding plumbers wiring for heating systems. Took me 4hrs to fix one bodge like that once and get it all into a proper wago wiring centre.

Took me that long to work through all the wiring, black being used for neutral didn't help. They had connected a core of one flex to the core of another then at the other end connected that core to another going back to where it started I ended up pulling a 5 core and 4 core flex out between 2 junction boxes as they just weren't needed. Have to go back and get extra cores to 2 UFH manifolds, fit 3 pole isolators to the 2 boilers, proper wiring centres, labels etc.

Plumbers wiring is nearly as bad as Builders wiring

Can be said about most trades, an original thought would be very lonely.

Remember that one where BG fitted their meter in front of the CU.....then the 'gas engineer' connected in accordance......two for the price of one.

Is this in a chippy, or pub kitchen by any chance?
Mainswitch looks like it’s had a coating of airborne cooking oil fumes

10 points to littlespark. Pub Kitchen.

I’m changing the board tomorrow. All the fixings are broken bar one so it’s literally hanging off the wall and I nearly couldn’t get it back together when I was checking the cabling today. I think it’s only the grease holding it all together.

Thought this EICR was going to be a breeze today…was told before I arrived the systems all been upgraded to the latest regs, new steel cu, all rcbos, apparently done in 2017 by an NIC AC
surely this isn’t the work of someone who actually gives a s#&t!

(I added the blanks by the way)

No certs available though lol that would of been interesting

I am surprised to see penny washer used to hold that junction box to the wall.
from the looks of the rest of it i would have expected sticky tape or chewing gum!!

I took the cover off a board just last week and it was full of cavity wall insulation that had found it’s way inside from the rear…

Got a surprise when the good lady of the house stretched over me with the metal tube of her vacuum cleaner to clean it out

Had to stop her and explain the dangers
