Pictures of Board work

[casperLennon]

Someone posted a thread about showing pictures of boards the other day. Here is one I saw today. Brand new install by an electrician apparently with 20+ years experience

I can take criticism from you but not from some youngster........

Comedian , bet it's not your board anyway. You just wanted to showcase someone's quality work

Don't worry about criticism from someone younger. Criticism is criticism, whoever it comes from. Take it on the chin like I have

Right, I've had a couple of whiskeys and I think I know the problem now. The p clips are a bit small.

And is 4mm big enough for that board, is it on a 32a OCPD ?

Trouble is, I had a property with people in it and I needed to do a rewire, then I moved in life took over and I finished it 2 years later - oh the shame I know I know.

Disgusting, go stand in the corner with the dunces hat on. Uncle Tel & Matron will be along shortly to punish you

I would definitely call it rough. He isn't running the job and certainly not supervising me. He has had almost 2 weeks on it. For an electrician with 20+ years experience he should be totally ashamed of what he's produced. Compared to the other boards on site it is really bad. The other ones are not tight at all. There is space down the centre for everything to run

This is how younger folk make a rod for their own back. You do not know the mans history and he is older than you so has worked through many changes, some he will not have agreed with like many of us. The bigger man will cut him some slack, show some respect, even if not the standard you aspire to. My not so humble opinion is that YOU show the way by quietly doing it better as it is clearly your opinion that you can. On one occasion, many years ago and a different trade observation on my part, a painter and decorator hung some very expensive wallpaper, there was room for improvement, the aspiring younger man actually took the client around the site to point out the flaws. Do you think that is acceptable? As I do not with your picture of his work it may not be perfect but as a relative new guy on the block you have many miles to travel before you sleep, if you make enemies you will be short on serious help when you may seriously need it.

You are only as good as your last job,

The man in question was quite happy to tell his story about how he's this and that. Best spark after god himself. So as for not knowing his story I feel I do. Then to produce that rubbish is beyond me. The younger thing that everyone keeps referring to is quite irrelevant. I'm 36 not some twenty something just out my time. As for respect I totally give it when it's earned not freely given because of age. I don't expect that either. I would never point his work out to the client as getting the job done is more important than causing problems. As I've said before I'm not interested in making enemies, work for me isn't about making friends. If an apprentice did it people would give tips to improve so why not the same because the man is older. Once again I believe respect is earned not given because of age. My jobs aren't perfect and you are correct I have a long way to go but I also have the mindset to know this and to accept criticism. I ask for criticism to improve myself within my trade
