Sorry about that!!!

So, if you want to re-upload your pics then great, if not, give us something new!


Cheers!!

Ooh thank you, I'm most flattered! I expected people to tear my efforts to shreds; I know what they're like around here!

I was joking, it's disgusting. Never do anything like this again, you made me spit my tea all over my daughter.

That's more like it. People being nice on here is just too weird!

we make install's to allow for alterations and its much better to cut side off tray, file and galve etc then use roofers to bolt together.

this is asuming it's not on show because then its usually requested to use pre manufactered bends.


that is a much more useful skill to learn

What you've done looks neat. I just cant see any sense in telling anyone to chop holes in tray like that. Collages must be in a parallel universe. One that bears no semblance of reality.

Yes a agree with you but that is what he was asked to do and that is what he has done. So he's made a good job of what he was asked to do.

Right, to avoid "I wouldn't have done it like this" complaints I have edited the original post. http://www.electriciansforums.net/e...**show-us-your-installs-**-41.html#post739420

Yes we all know that it was part of a college assignment and we are not saying it doesn't look good. Myself and such as Tony said above the argument being why do colleges teach things that wouldn't apply in this universe.

 

[Stroppy]

Yes I agree, some things they teach are very silly, such as stripping back T&E with a knife. I don't think anyone does that in the real world, do they? (apart from 4mm and above)

Whats wrong with stripping back T&E with a knife?

...Yep

 

[Robotstar5]

I've always used a knife

What's right with it? No seriously though I just do this with 10mm and above. I know a lot of others do this for all size twin cable and say that gripping it with snips/pliers stretches the earth?
