Re suspended ceilings thread and the mess in it, before and after

[The Ghost]

Just a little update as @marconi expressed it may be interesting to see before and after on sargasso sea of cables above ceiling.

And we wonder why people struggle with English when the same word means 2 completely different things!

And its quite plausible to beat self up with a pipe/armour made of one of them !

You can lead a horse to water but a pencil must be lead.

Judging by the taped ends I'd say half those cables weren't doing anything anyway so could be stripped out.
The second picture is most likely of the other end of the corridor.

Seems you are a fetish for ZL, a school mate once bought a car from John.

Maybe the customer will read this thread so we should rib Vortigen and squeeze some ££££'s ut of him? ;o)))))

You can just about see some conduit in the pic. I used this. It was the original wiring in red and black and re-instated it with a more modern twist. Got rid of all the crap and used the original I cannot begin to imagine what was in the mind of the person who did the wiring I ripped out. Took a bit of thinking about for the switches as the ceiling was at the exact height of all the inspection/junction boxes so could not get in them to feed cables into the old system So had to cut some Ts' into the existing conduit.

That was the old lighting wiring. It is a whole unit with two small offices in, not a corridor.

You can get blood out of a stone can you? And don't say yeh, throw it at someone that don't count.

Simplest fix is to take a pic in the unit next door, I'm told .

Too true every £ is a prisoner and always within reason look after number 1 and the family.

It is heartening and encouraging to see such incredulity and disbelief I must be good then if you can't beleive it is even the same place. Thank you all for your lack of confidence, it is most reassuring.

We are just being nice to massage your ego, *you ripped out and flogged usable cable to fund the PCM fee on the static and are doing a run on a customer as you need too please he missus with a weeks holiday to Benidorm.

*I maybe taking the proverbial...... ....... 'o))))))




Nice job by the way, its always a pleasure to see someone who takes care in their work.

I am sure you are, but in an amusing way. My day will come To be honest if you can spend a day with me and some of the guys I work with and keep your cool, you can handle this forum and the punishment with nourishment it hands out. I like the humour mostly.

the unit next door

is the same and worse.
