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:

Is it really that bad...?

Yes it is, they couldn't even be bothered to remove the knockouts on the sides, just folded them in!

a beautiful work of art... is there neutrals connected to the earth bar there and floating earths... presumably this was causing a few trips ... now and then . Absolutely atrocious.

I missed the busbar going right across, I couldn't understand why the cables to the 2nd RCD were taped up. That's incredible!!!1!!

Got a job to connect up a dishwasher next Friday, they can't plug it in as the original was only connected up with wires, house is less than ten years old and they're the second owners.

Asked for a picture so I could see what they meant, needless to say I will be going around a bit earlier to sort it out:

 

[freddo]

The green tape should have been for the earth wire!

On a fused spur above just need flex outlet - standard really as not enough room behind most dishwashers for socket and plug

 

[littlespark]

What’s wrong with that? It’s got tape on it.

 

[Dustydazzler]

Presumably it was on a connector block...

I can't remember which Reg. this is, off the top of my head...

Sunblest reg I believe @pirate ?

Sparkychick - can you name and shame to the 'authorities'? It looks recent.

Alas no, there is nothing to give any clue who did it (not surprising), but it's a rental property. Speaking with the tenants Mum, it was like that when they moved in. She was going to raise holy hell with the agency and she wants me to go back and check it when they've apparently fixed it.

If it had been their own place, no doubt I would have been given the green light to sort it.

Someone asked about the other tails... they go to another small CU which I think deals with a shower. Again, no labelling, no stickers to give a clue who did it. I suspect it's the work of the landlord. The funny thing is, two of the 6A breakers have scrawl on them suggesting upstairs and downstairs lights, based on the age I'd say even without that cracking bus bar screw up they would have had problems with a borrowed neutral on the landing or hall. But to just stick the lighting in a 32A breaker???? Why not move the 6A? Clearly just no clue what so ever.

 

[Baddegg]

I’d go out on a limb Sc and say the landlord or relative off is the culprit....

How can anyone get 10 pairs so tangled?!

 

[DPG]

Proper spaghetti that!

Probably the same spaghetti monster who did these fibres...
