Other day I installed 2.5mm 3 core swa to an outside whirlpool bath. Driving home (now dark) I remembered that I did'nt earth the gland of the steel. Whoops, turn around and look daft infront of the customer getting ready for a dip.


Another one from last week was agreeing to finish off a small commercial unit for a friend. Nightmare customer, I can see why it got passed onto me. Cheers mate, you know who you are

I bet it was Phil!, sounds like the kinda thing he would do !!?, passing his akward customers off on a mate!!

Did one today, small(ish) commercial job finishing off the lighting. I'm there clipping away the single + cpc switch wire and neutral along the joist. Got carried away and got to the last fitting. Forgot about the flo that should be in-bertween! DOH. Cable already cut but just enough to pull the clips out and re-use it because we just ran out of blue and copper. Next time Paul put a mark where the lights are going.
