Pictures of simple jobs done properly.

[Dave OCD]

I was thinking as per thread title why don't we post up some pictures of how we do the simple common things, would be interesting to get different views and also show the people new to the trade how things ought to be. I'll start off with a simple 3 plate ceiling rose pendant that my son did yesterday, I think it's pretty good.

He has done a very neat job Dave and he would have got a 10/10 if his gaffer had the correct size sleeve and the cpcs were doubled over

On a similar note...

That's a very top-end job for a garden shed. Did you offer other installation methods or did the customer specifically ask for galv conduit?

Ha!

The customer was me. I had a few lengths spare (and some singles) from a "conservatory on the side of a Victoriana end terrace" job. I love a bit of conduit bending.

The company SWA do small reels of the three colours in all the sizes which I think is forward thinking as who needs 100 blinking metres of 2 or 3 mm blue sleeving? The stuff goes solid before you use it all. 20 metres on a reel brilliant

I suspected as much!

 

[telectrix]

when possible, i use H/S with a quick burst of smoke lighter for oversleeving S/L etc.it then won't fall off and get me more confused than my dementia allows.

 

[Dave OCD]

A little bit of tape won't fall off.

 

[telectrix]

A little bit of tape won't fall off.

it will when the glue dries out.

 

[Dave OCD]

But that will give you enough time to connect it Tel. Actually a mixed up switchwire with lamps connected to the lights in the circuit can do some entertaining things.

 

[telectrix]

usually Bang.

 

[Dave OCD]

Not with the resistance of lamps preventing a dead short though.
