Is that a personal find, Dave… or lifted off t’internet?

Mate is a builder sent me it , how he obtained it don't know.

 

[Moley]

It's a socket he installed last week

 

[Mike Johnson]

Ah was the installed by his wife (mate) the builder.

First class lol

Sorry to disagree, but I think that's terrible workmanship, he hasn't bothered even putting a bit of white silicone in that hole in the tile above the shower head.

Its half full as there doesn't seem to be any watermarks further up


No matter whatever way you see it, It's knackered

Water heater with built in ambient light….. somebody would pay good money for that.

I remember when there would be at least 6 screws; pairs each of wood screws, 4BA & M3.5

This was described as a new circuit to the shed, must be 10years ago, this is in one of those metal enclosures which originally had a built in fuse box at the top, it looked like the hole the cable goes throughwas drilled with a masonary bit.

This was mid 2020 so during lockdown.
Customer has been in the house for 2 months, survey highlighted several electrical issues including the CU in the garage being fed with T&E buried directly in the ground. Part of the sale conditions being that the garage feed was replaced. Garage CU contains 7 MCB's for: RFC for an uncounted number of sockets [>20], lighting, 2 sheds, greenhouse, hot tub and outdoor sockets/lighting. A total of 148A worth of OCD's but not a RCD in sight. I didn't actually check the size of this cable but I believe it to be 6mm², the other end is glanded to a plastic CU but no earth connection to the armour. The cable runs under 4 paving slabs where it appears just enough sand was scraped out of the way for it, all fully certified and notified to scheme provider.
Was reported to the 2 scheme providers and CHAS listed on his invoice.

Looks to be the same engineer who did yours that did the ones I see on a daily basis.
