Lucky student on 1st rewire, what's wrong with the 1st 3??

[Chrisuk]

Day 1

3 pictures that you can say what's wrong with them, it's what we found before we ripped it all out

I'm doing my C&G level 2 2365 and will be finishing 1st fix soon

The this was hidden above the ceiling

And finally

Some pics after we got the new wires in, just for me to keep track of the things I do

Nice little bundle, I'm sure that can add up very fast

Any of you guys seen these ? . I saw It in a PE a few issues back it's called rapid - cap looks like a good time saver , it's not available any where around me but I'd like to give it a go

Take a look at this video on YouTube:

Wot do you guys think ? Capping can!! be a pain and time consuming

I like the look if that, wonder how much it costs

Also he says it protects again nails, screws or a stray hammer
Really, it's on PVC how can it stop a screw or nail going through it

I like the already made holes because a few of ours kept cracking when drilling the holes

Looks useful, but I can't see any links that include pricing.

like to see him fixing that to engineering brick with hard mortar that bends masonry nails in under 1 minute.

He means whilst you are fitting the stuff.

Plugs and nails done

or where the nails fall out as soon as you take the hammer off.

wondering why there is 3 2.5mm2 T&Es in pic 4 as well on a new rewire? Nothing wrong with spur, but why on a rewire lol

I hope I answer this correctly

This was not the finished picture, just took it when I had the time
Next to the 2 gang the customer wanted the cooker switch so in the picture we have a 6mm for the cooker also coming down

Fair enough, My eyes must be getting worse, apologies to you.

I should of got better pictures, it was a 12hr slog and I just grabbed what I could when i could so the cutting out I did for the cooker switch is missing from that picture, probably not very clear

I really appreciate the message, I'd need a cscs card and with being at college and not on site I've not got one yet!! I can't have access to site without one as u know

Really only £20

I saw the cscs card was £17 for the card and £30 for exam or the other way around
