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:

When you combine two things, such as a spoon and a fork, it's usual to create a portmanteau such as spork (although others create it the other way around as foon).

Since this is a clever way of combining a fork and a bracket perhaps it should be called a Fo'cket.

The guy obviously just thought Fo'cket when he did the job!

Is that a chair in front of it! ??

It's a fire exit they are supposed to be obstructed.

First of all, I hate labels! I do have to satisfy a "spreadsheet" mentality however...
and yes, I hang my head in shame for using sellotape but that's what was to hand...

On the fork thingy, does anyone remember "Splayds"?
I thought they were a 70s thing, but apparently they are still on the market...

That fire exit pic tho...

 

[Julie.]

That door needs a sign on the push-bar such as "fire exit, push to exit"

Or else no-one will know how to use it or what it is!

 

[westward10]

It has one but may be obscured by the others

I'm still looking for a White door on a dark background.
..A bit like a cellar bar in Bristol...

Very nasty little widowmaker found above a ceiling. One klik rose was perm for emergency, other was switched supply from PIR. Previous installer had bridged the lives together in the fitting in the switched terminal - so the emergency side had never worked anyway, and pins of either klik plug were live when the other was unplugged.

In a school. Honestly they're the worst for it. Big "maintenance" firms smashing the remedials out with so many layers of people that there's basically no accountability.

A few of the strands have a bit of copper showing, but what's the issue other than that?

Split concentric cable?

I have come across this several times where a big bunched bundle of 2.5 red / black singles are being used as tails...
at first I was cursing the badger who installed such an abomination.
but after My initial shock horror I kinda had to stand back and admire the handwork.

In that picture its quite clear its a split concentric feed rather than a big bunch of singles.

I have resorted to using a bunch of 2.5 singles as an emergency measure once in the past, it was all I could do at the time to get a pub through the evening before fixing it the next day.
