Discuss I hang my head in shame!!!!!!! in the Electricians Chat - Off Topic Chat area at ElectriciansForums.net

bear in mind that you can do any gas work in your own house. the gas regs. only apply if you are working for a customer.if it goes bang, then it's only your house goes into the great gig in the sky.


 
There a hard crowd to nudge which I fully understand but at least when given advice on here we judge every member to the competence they show and their background, you do not need to hold an electrical diploma if we think you are competent to be given a little more advice than we normally would.

A very good point you make.. I might pinch that if you don't mind :)
 
I too ............... have signed up on the plumbers forum ;)........... they can be helpful for basic stuff, but as soon as people start wanting to know how to install boilers they tend to get shot down ......... and quite rightly so........
 
I have been looking into this and have found he has opened his boiler case which is a no-no for a a non gas safe. So he really has dropped us in it. He did the usual "it's ok I'm an electrical engineer didn't touch the gas so it's ok" and was admonished publicly on the forum. I think this needs to be referred to the CPS scheme and JIB. I will be looking into steamrollering his MFT and him doing the march of shame. What compounds this is the fact he has been talking to not just a plumber but a gas safe person or persons unknown.
Don't forget to review the RA for the job ... oh dear oh dear
 
Non gsr and over there as it is the nearest related forum to my line of work.

darkwood, this subject has caused no end of heated arguments over there (no pun intended) :)
 
I'm sorry guys but I have brought a stain onto our reputation, I have ... wait! it's difficult for me to say this, I have!.............................................gone to the Plumber forum for advice and asked a question :(... there said it.

I hope you can all forgive me as this is a difficult time and I am trying to adjust to the fact I needed there advice :oops:.

If anyone knows of any therapy session or groups that I can get involved with to help me pull through this I would be grateful.

Cheers.
Nothing to forgive DW, as we are only human after all :)

Yep! .. I was wondering how to approach them as I knew it would cause somewhat of a flutter but as tel' does point out, I am not doing paid work on anybody else property and this is my own boiler and property so technically I only could void my insurance if my house blew up because of my actions, again I am changing a fan with 2 wires push fitted onto it, I am not changing or adjusting anything else especially anything non electric.

Believe there is also another point about the cover being decorative ie does it lift off or do you have to remove screws.
