New circuit to detached shed/garage in garden.

I get you angle, but I think that work like car repairs involves safety. I can hang a door in the house It will not be to qualified joiner standards but it is unlikely to injure or kill anyone. I am probably biased because I am indentured apprenticeship qualified and have worked with some frightening people doing electrical work on sites. One spark could not connect a multi gang switch. Another spark connected a three phase supply to a four gang switch.

The thing with unqualified tradesmen is that they know their limits..
Unfortunately that is not the case with the qualified ones

 

[DPG]

And that's exactly it Charlie - knowing your limits. Regardless of DIY or tradesman. It's not rocket science to change a light switch, or to change the brake pads in your car. As long as you are working within your capability.

 

[Spoon]

What does fine at changing a lightswitch mean? That doesn't mean you are a qualified electrician

I'm saying I'm capable and competent enough to change a light switch, but according to you I shouldn't be doing that, cause I didn't do an apprenticeship.

Qualified tradesmen have limits, if they are say an installation electrician then they do installation work not maintenance but they have no limits within their scope and their scope is all electrical installation work. I won't change my own brake pads and I won't get Kwak fit ever to do it. Electrical apprenticeships are almost non existant hence the general low standards in the trade.

Fat fingers perhaps.

lmao.. I'd also give you a 'Winner' for that as well, but I can't

 

[Jjc]

I've forgotten, was it something about car repairs or door hanging?

 

[DPG]

Ah, Jjc has got a sense of humour after all. Nice one.

Incidentally, why are there so many shed supplies, as opposed hot tub supplies recently?

We are all obese and can't get into the hot tubs...
