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:

Typical farm install.

Just to replace a socket.

First time I’ve walked away from a job. I’m not touching it until they agree to some upgrading.

Bet it was a nice one install originally when it was done.

I would be more worried about being invited to a place with that bottle of 'Superlube' in the foreground

I didn’t have time to read the bottles… but trust you to notice that.
There were mummy sheep in the shed.

 

[Moley]

So, a bottle of Superlube and a room full of sheep. When did you move to Wales?

 

[Pretty Mouth]

Thought this was nice, sub main to a dwelling

Rod at the house end?

Got a phone call the other day. I’d repaired a cable which I think I posted in this thread a while back. It was next to a gas boiler and had exposed copper.

Anyway they had a plumber out as the boiler needed replacing.

Said plumber told the tenants that the repair was dangerous as it should be in a junction box. So they rang the landlord who then rang me. Spoke to landlord and said I’d go and take a look but can guarantee it wasn’t a dangerous repair.

Photo attached of the repair I did.

Each conductor individually crimped, the cable is double heat shrink covered. And it was clipped back, I just pulled it forward to check it (and get a pic) and clipped it back again.

Can anyone explain what’s dangerous as I’m at a loss?

I did tell the plumber to stick to pipes and leave the magic to me.

He's probably assumed it's just been twisted together and taped/sleeved. I suppose it's good to be on the safe side. As long as he listens to you and updates his awareness then all is OK I suppose.

As long as he learns and doesn't presume that every in line joint is done to that standard and can recognise so.

I’d of put it in a joint box. Just saying.

Those screw heads look well-used.

Perhaps an early adopter of the impact driver but what an idiot.

Or maybe a little bypass now and again
