Has Electrician made a mistake with height?

[LCV]

Hi,

As part of a full house renovation the house was completely rewired. I asked the Electrician to fit the plug sockets in the home office at a high level so that the printers sitting on the cabinets can easily be plugged into them. The plug sockets would be concealed by the printers.

I did not specify the height to the Electrician and neither did he ask me. He has finished doing the 2nd fix and I've now noticed that he has positioned the sockets to be the same height as the light switches which of course is far too high and looks really silly. The plug sockets are about 30cm higher than it needs to be.

What is your view on this?

Thanks.

Ha ha, I am fine. :cool4: I am not stressed about this at all. I am coming out of a full house renovation that I've project managed with a 5 year old and a baby, yes I have recently given birth, that started in May last year and have dealt with much bigger problems and issues than moving two plug sockets lower down.

The Electrician has unfortunately suffered an injury on another job so I am not sure when he is coming back - hopefully soon.

Right I can see where the blame lies now, which of those two did the drawings ?

It won't be the kids...... it'll be their father - after all, men are always in the wrong!

...He'll have put his back out...reaching to terminate those fittings,that are not quite high enough,to warrant steps...but...

This thread is becoming a close competitor to Top Cat's legendary thread on PIR controlled Security lights for the longest thread in the forum's history. (which - as far as I know - never did reach its conclusion) :laugh:

and I thought my (well I didn't actually start it) thread on parallel circuits was the longest thread....

This thread has been going on so long now, in the time I have spent reading it I could of popped round and moved the sockets myself!
