Right ... Just been nudged to set this up by Paul.M and sounds a good idea following recent threads I've done in the Arms..

Rules....No Offensive material... edit if required before posting as this is the public arena.
Anything to do with the trade or in and around it ...H&S pic's welcome.



I've posted this a few times and this is at a mates house following a kitchen refirb several yrs ago. mg_smile:

This is in a special needs school. Screwing a MCCB panel back to a wall is overkill anyway, so they just chucked it into a false ceiling void and spread the load across some battens. It’s still juiced up and been like that for over 20 years.

At a secondary school, this is a MCB which has been siliconed onto the side of a dimmer unit enclosure. I spotted this within a month of the dimmer unit going in but all of a sudden everyone involved, from contractor to site service manager to governors suddenly turned into the three wise monkeys. They didn’t feel too clever though when the application for the entertainments licence was turned down because of it, and they had to cancel the show for which all the tickets had already been sold.

Some great pics Kamikaze ...just hoping these are not your back catalogue in disguise

The first two are from when i used to follow plumbers around, good little earner that was.

The third one, well i just like the pipework

Another skilfully completed job (in the eyes of a plumber)

Oh i forgot to add, hope that fuse never needs changing, or the spur inspecting in an eicr. (Just to clarify, i did move the spur and all associated wiring, and all the temp connections were already made when i arrived, because he wanted it tested so he could wrap up) i just laughed, then politely asked him to remove the boiler so i could access the spur.

that was left after builder crew doing new kitchen and downstairs work.
they had someone for new kitchen, and told the customer she needs another spark for big rewiring.
in the meanwhile reconnected it with some new cable,
fair choice from them and some work for me

Saw this the other day in a rented house, how can people actually carry out work like this?

Quality DB change I come across this morning. Whoever done it has extended nearly every circuit with 15amp block including the ring final circuits. And look at the quality SWA termination in to the wiska box.

Nah…It’s not uncommon for me to go into a meltdown when confronted by a wonky socket. I’m too much of a goody goody for this kind of shenanigans. I do envy those with such creative minds and their ability to sleep at night. That’s why reading about their mini adventures on the forum is so enjoyable. It’s like being in the waiting room for hell….lol.

Tut tut tut, that path level must be at least 7" above where it should be ... risk of rising damp! AKA rain splash back in this case!

Nice neutral connection

Nice earth connection on the same cable, was just shoved through a hole in the bottom of the mcc.

There aren't any crimps underneath that tape!

[Bobster]

Whoever had done it had just splayed the cores and pushed them together. I think you'd struggle to twist 70mm
