This could be an interesting time….

[Rockingit]

That feeling of dread when you start a job…. Attempt to fix someone’s bodge of a CU move extension and there’s not much to play with!!!

The fickle finger of fate has found you for this to fix this for a fair price and fine work for a most fortunate customer.

Amply articulated alliteration.


Articulate being a less than appropriate adjective.

Was an utter tw4t of a job, had to extend a few conductors with crimp/shrink to make them long enough to even reach the box, but I did in the end win.

You need some 2.0 green/yellow sleeving so it actually sleeves the conductor into the terminal attention to detail and all that.

Fair job that one, looking a lot better!
I hate domestic work especially when some numpty has been there first and ballsed it up. Which seems more often than not these days!!

I’ve still got the key if you want a crack at it. There’s a lighting cable still needs running up in the really grotty bit of the loft once you’re done.

Do I bring my 2.0 sleeving?

Well clearly I haven’t got any

I noticed.

That’s why you earn the big bucks

Seems we went harmonized a bit earlier than thought.
Numerals indicate it was the Romans I, II, III and IV......lighting JB done a bit later, by the Normans, maybe.

I did a double take when I saw the IV as it looks exactly like my scrappy writing and I often use Roman numbers on CU changes!

I don’t think I’ve ever used those joint boxes for a CU move though. A very long time ago I used a pair of the 6 terminal versions to extend two rings. Wagos really have changed things for the better!

I was a little sceptical at first and thought they might be a bit gimmicky. They’re not cheap (think that Wiska box was about £75ish) but they do do what it says on the tin. My only slight gripe is that I couldn’t see an easy way to lift the bar out to make cutting a rear hole easier, together with that old classic of if the wall behind isn’t even then the plastic box distorts so the cover isn’t wanting to fit back quite so well. I’d already planned on running all the extension conductors in 2.5 singles before I started so I knew what I was dealing with in terms of hole sizes etc, not so sure I’d want to bringing lots of T&E into it, would get very busy very quickly.
