- electrical garage help needed wiring
Well, can safely say its all completed, every bit installed by myself, and inspected and tested by a qualified electrician, whom was more than happy with the work i had done. I guess any “donkey” can do these types of jobs.
Congrats. Did the electrician give you a cert?
Good to hear, you work fast for someone who was apparently working today while making 50k.
I'd love to see some pictures of your install that you done, we can give some feedback on what has been done to aid you in your learning of course.
Well yea your right, i wasnt working today. Feel free to come over an have a look. Guests are always welcome. Why have you to be so nasty about this davespark? Why not give someone a little credit. An take my word for it.
As the walls sockets etc where already wired in before it didnt actually take me that long to change over.
hardest part was connecting to new sub CU.

I am not being nasty, I do believe after giving you some friendly advice you started a personal attack against another person and I, as well as insulting and belittling us.
The whole "I have an Electrician coming to test it" routine is very old on this forums. No one believes it for a second as it is quite far-fetched that someone would simply turn up and put their name to something.
All electrical work (in the UK at least) requires certification. Perhaps not local authority notification depending on your area, but at least some kind of certification. If you didn't get a certificate then how do you know the installation was tested to the correct standard and complied with BS7671?
Also I didn't notice any glands in your pile of goodies, so that calls into question the installation methods of part of your install in my mind.
You came here seeking help with eagerness to learn, but all you have actually done is disregarded what people have said and took insult to genuine advice. Not an ideal way to learn is it?

And I've just seen a pig flying past the window ...........
Such a bunch of immature children!
So because it wasnt in the box i didnt have it? What about all the tools i used aswell? Suppose ive screwed everything up with my hands because the tools werent pictured “in the box” IDIOT! And the regs over here is different than in england. Davidspark, i did mention in a comment underneath my rant that is wasnt aimed at you. There was no offence taken from your comment. And there is also no need for anyone to put their name to the work that was done. You may go read up on regulations in NI there are currently no statutory requirments for domestic installation in NI.

Nasty? I thought I’d behaved myself on this one!
Oh would ya look at that
In Northern Ireland we work to BS7671, exactly the same regulations as England, Wales, Scotland. As part of BS7671 the work needs tested and relevant certificate issued.
Sorry davespark. Im getting mixed up with you and davidspark

Not sure what you are getting at.
Mine will light up against a human body sometimes!
no mate didnt get a cert. i like you spoon. Your a funny guy.
Very tame for you Dave
I do like you, we should get a drink organised, this website is stressing me out.
Brilliant. Well done. Proud of you.
Look people. All ive done is changed the old box in the spare room to a new box. I havnt tried to do a whole house installation. Getting on there as if the world is gna end.
Dont worry about that its just temporary, ive to add the mbs into it, fill up the gaps
If this is the standard of work you are happy to show off then I dread to think what the rest of it looks like.
Just some brief points, as you wanted to learn the "art".
- There are gaps which allow access to live parts
- The ordering of protective devices is wrong, it should go from highest to lowest.
- Looking at this I can't tell if there is supposed to be a second main switch? If so its clearly missing.
What this sort of Brut

Dope it's spelt different
Pretty please can we see the inside
Some manufacturers would beg to differ, they recommend that the MCBs are arranged between heavy and light loads to reduce thermal and magnetic influence.
I have always been told highest to lowest, but that does make a bit of sense. Every day is a school day!

and on replacements its how long the existing cables are ..... so as to avoid unnecessary joints

So here we have a rewire to a garage, by someone who apparently has no idea of what type of earthing system he has, or whether it it’s compliant or even adequate or what bonding is required, can’t or won’t check or calculate resistances or probably doesn’t know why he even should do, or what they would mean if he did measure them, who intends to use a 150A welder, (presumably 16A supply required and are surge currents an issue?), and to boot is (in my opinion and I chose this word carefully) ignorant. I read this thread with interest hoping to learn something. I’m not disappointed.
I think it best for all concerned if this thread is locked before any more damage is done, as it appears to have become a bait fest
None of my business really, but I do hate it when people are unnecessarily rude (This implies that there are situations where it necessary to be rude, perhsps when someone is just about to injure themselves or another because they’ve done something dangerous or stupid)
Am I being a pompous g*t?

If this is true then everything is fine and dandy.... No need to worry about anything.....

Is the installation completed now?Are you signing the electrical certificate for design and construction?Do you have Part P building regulations in N.I.?
From your only photo, you need to fit fixed metal blanks and fit the appropriate labels to the Consumer unit to complete the job. Is the electrician pleased with the install so far?
