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:

Very nice. Can't go wrong with Honda. Loved my VFR800 but it gave me neckache!

 

[Dave OCD]

Yeah I had a 2005 Blade but only for a year, brilliant bike but far too easy to hit crazy speeds and horribly uncomfortable.

How loud is that @DaveOCD?

Which one mate, the Kawasaki ?

Suzuki with those cans or lack of!

Don't see many around these days - used to be a time where they'd be infrequent but still seen.

Yeah not many around. Interesting bikes. Always gets a lot of attention!

Ah you'd think that but it's actually pretty quiet- the silencer is in the collector box underneath on this bike, although on the throttle as the revs rise it sounds great as a butterfly valve opens up. The Honda is much louder with the Akra can and 'de cat' link pipe, sounds brilliant.

Lighting tower JB. That explains why it's not working!

4 x high frequency electronic ballasts ? Interestingly it's a plastic enclosure and didn't catch fire though ?

Ignitors. Thankfully the breaker stopped it getting that far although the repeated switching back on by clueless foreman didn't help matters!

Interestingly the other 3 were still working!

With the 200 page risk assessment in place and much kicking of the sand our brave electricians thought what the hell.

Looks like it's wedged and bending the pier! I know it's optical illusion.

Refurb of a 1980's build house, some cables don't follow safe zones, ... some cable routes like this lounge wall light cable I ripped out were just bizarre!
