i all, I'm Dave.

After nearly 24 years working as a local authority electrical inspector I got completely fed up and left to set up as a self employed electrician almost a year ago.
Since then I haven't stopped and wish I'd done this years ago !
The OCD bit is because I'm a fussy bugger so probably work twice as hard as many to get things done in a reasonable time. :smile5:
I thought it would be good to join in order to share in the wealth of knowledge and experience on here, sometimes a second opinion is a very valuable thing, especially when interpreting the minefield more commonly known as BS7671 . :tongue:

Hi DOCD ... what is it about us Cornish folk and the OCD thing! What part o' my homeland are you from?
 
Hi Dave and welcome along.
 
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone ! GB Kayak - I'm in Redruth, have lived here for 40 odd years but I was born in Airdrie, Lanarkshire. :smile5:

Swapping ends, almost then ... my mum was born in Redruth hospital and I in Treliske; Camborne man myself though my Grandparents used to live in Park Road and latterly Trefusis Terrace.

Ah I did my apprenticeship with the Health Authority and did a fair bit of work in Redruth hospital many moons ago, sadly it's long gone and is now a housing estate although some of the old buildings remain converted into flats etc.
Only this week I was called on to do a bit of fault finding in Glendale Crescent, very near Trefusis Terrace. :smile5:

[Edit - all my kids were born in Treliske]
