Photos of how it SHOULD look?

[Dooby]

I spend hours wading through photos of installs on here which are mainly to show how badly something has been done (and I'm never sure I'm identifying the same problems as everyone else) or how something has been fixed - so certain things have been worked round/incorporated/added to compensate etc

Can anyone please post up a few straightforward but real life pics of, in particular the CU/intake/meter area for domestic install? When it's right? And whilst I'm asking for the moon on a stick here probably, ideally it'd be different style and era boards/ fuses/ isolators and if you want to be fantastic, a word on what the things all ARE? I can understand a diagram fine but have only ever worked on new builds on one massive project where every flat is identical, everything's made out of plasterboard and all you see on the wall inside each flat is a shiny new 17th edition CU. I;m not used to seeing things as they really ARE in yer average house - and recognising what's different to what I know - yet correct in it's way.

Does this make sense? I've done my NVQ3, doing my 2394 and am not a COMPLETE idiot, but I do think very visually...

These forums seem to have gone back to being nice again, but I'd still be wary of posting this on the main board

Thanks

There's a thread called show us your installs where people post up stuff they're proud of mate but your post got me thinking, I wonder if photos of stuff in this section would help you guys with problem identification.
Kind of here's a pic with X number ogf problems, how many can you see.

Thanks for replying Trev, it was having spent the last hour or two going through 'show us your installs' again, which is what inspired/drove me to write this! People posting up a complete mess then ta-dah! another picture of something equally complicated but somewhat less messy, and everyone going ha ha good job mate, and no one saying what I'm thinking which is but what in the hell IS that and what are those cables doing over there, I've never seen anything like it in my life - kinda thing

But in response to your pondering, that would be a good idea! All the different styles, models, and thingummy whatsits which aren't something I normally see, confuse me no end, whereas an academic exercise 2394 style with those same thingies represented and labelled - I'd likely be fine with

Someone did post a picture actually asking to identify the faults. Me and baker worked it out between us. If memory serves, it needed a new busbar and MCB

Remember seeing that one recent;y, warped busbar connection wasn't it. See it's easier to remember that sort of thing, when it's either mostly correct or just a couple bits wrong

I think that would be an excellent idea Trev.
