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..

I wonder if the cowboy that did this lot will come back for his cigarettes!

Top tips I've taken from this job:

1. If you ever run out of fuse wire. Just use some copper instead.....
2. Can't be arsed to wire a circuit properly? Just borrow a neutral from within the CU and cut the live & CPC off
3. Pesky water bond getting in the way? Just cut it off....
4. Lost the screws to the consumer unit cover... just use socket screws and break the mounting point.
5. Broke the cover of your CU? Hold it together with some tape.

That is atrocious - the wire should be wound clockwise under the fuse screws ! :) I bet the cig packet was empty ? :)
 
I worked as a subby on student let refurb, converting from 3 bed terraced house to 5 bed student house. Your pics reminded me. The house was probably 2-300 years old. The muck/dust in the floor/ceiling voids was something else, like grey soot. Place was completely gutted. Learnt to wait until the plumbers fitted their pipework, before we did our job. The only criticisms I had was locating the CU high up by the front door. Testing was a nightmare, have to keep getting off steps to let trades pass.

Good luck.
It's always the way, as soon as you're on a steps just inside a doorway it turns into the pedestrian equivalent of the M25. :)

The last time I was in that situation, a lady cleaner brushed herself against me as she went by and said, " You will have to marry me now" her face reminded me of a woodcutters bench btw :)

Haven't heard that phrase for ages. My favourite is 'like a bulldog licking p---- off a nettle'
