Ingenious! My small brain would never have come up with that!

Remembering my arty training, I think it's done in the "impressionist style". From Wiki they say "many critics faulted Impressionist paintings for their unfinished appearance and seemingly amateurish quality". Normally I would be very ok with an Impressionist inspired artwork, but not this one.
Here's a better one, by Monet

Not sure why these two items need retesting next month...

...seeing as though they are just a couple of cable tidies laying on the floor next to a data rack!!

There was another 5 or 6 in the rack that had been tested too!!

(unique numbers edited out due to OCD)

Lol I've also seen TV and VCR remote controls with their own pat stickers.

So, I've just started doing some work for a local plumbing firm. Got a call this morning "can you come and install a wireless thermostat". Yeah no problem I think. Get to the site and apparently this system is fully installed and working.

This was what I found in the wiring center.

On the basis of that fine piece of work, I decided to dig a little deeper.

The full list of faults went like this:-

• No earth from the FCU supplying the heating
• Existing wireless thermostat was not connected - Cables were twisted together behind it's mounting socket... bare, no tape
• No demand connections to the boiler only the power supply - The demand control link was still in place so this thing has been running since it was turned on maintaining the temperature of the bypass loop

I don't do a lot of heating wiring, but I can follow a wiring diagram.

Not bad for my third attempt at central heating wiring if I do say so myself. Still room for improvement, but it all works as it should through a wireless programmer and a pair of wireless thermostats (one remote for the cylinder and one for a room). And I got a decent Zs at the boiler, so it's a winner

Where did all the cord clamps go?!

Nothing wrong with that at all, far better than most that I see, my only suggestion would be to fit a small piece of brown sleeving on the grey and black permanent & switched lives- and fit it close to the terminations.

A wet pants has been there before SC I expect they went in the bin.
