She is an American singer, her tunes are very depressive.

[Simonslimline]

Yeah, I don't know about you but I like a soap dish for my soap.

Sometimes it is a dirty job and someone has to do it! Amongst other things here you might just be able to see the sheath stripped back outside the junction box and I think the CPCs are twisted together outside the JB. I'll have to clean this up first to see what is going on here.

Wrong location, but nice shandy.

 

[telectrix]

Here is why you need to make sure the connections are tight, electric boiler and switch

What KW is that electric boiler?

 

[JD Hogg]

And here is why you should get an electrician not a plumber to wire your electric shower

 

[JD Hogg]

It is 9kW

 

[Leesparkykent]

It is 9kW

That programmer looks like its in a bit of a rubbish position as well.

A friend of mine recently purchased a house with a Swimming pool AAAAH everybodies dream house ?
his wife ws less than pleased when I told her to get my team in and flatten it
if the bits I could see on a cursory examination were that bad imagine the bits I could not see
I was vindicated, it has now been named the house of horrors
the pump room should have a locked door to prevent access or tampering, it did not even have a door or door frame , and was readily accesible by the public and small children

 

[Jurassic Sparks]

Yes that was Live and working ??
a close up

 

[Jurassic Sparks]

could it get any worse ?
gas pipe 28mm feeding pool alongside a 16mm supply for the shower block
PS the gas pipe had been run in concrete and had corroded away causing a permanent gas leak

 

[Jurassic Sparks]

and yet more from the house of Horrors, SWAs jointed with no glands, and all armour cut back ??
this weirdness fed the Bar and the pump room

 

[Jurassic Sparks]

the light fitting in the shower block was a work of true genius,

 

[Jurassic Sparks]

and yet you think nothing can get worse than this
but you think wrong, even the very aged Jurassic Sparks has rarely seen such retromingent stupidity since the days of trams and roll ups
all still connected and working





more of the house of horrors later
ps if there is an award for the most dangerous wiring and installation then its possible this house will be so awarded the title, and I may retire to drink myself into a stupor

Did they have a survey before purchasing?

 

[Jurassic Sparks]

I guess you knew the answer to that question before asking it ?
a massive no
they thought they would be spending around 5K smartening it up
over 40K later its a presentable and safe house
several people had pulled out of the sale, however it may just still be a bargain as no body wanted to touch it with a barge pole
these are just the bits I saw on my first visit, it gets worse
will post some more pics of my first visit late, lets just say it ended up with me severing the gas and electricity supplies top the property and a 5 page report !

That's what the architect or consultant would call an unforeseeable clash of services.

 

[Jurassic Sparks]

a few more from the house of Horrors
two doors that open inwards ? well they would if some retard had not put the staircase there

 

[Jurassic Sparks]

the cut out was broken and covered with warning tape, lots of blown 60 amp cartridge fuses were on the floor
this lot was inside a cupboard

 

[Jurassic Sparks]

nicely terminates SWAs

 

[Jurassic Sparks]

the main earth connection was loose and not crimped

 

[Jurassic Sparks]

class act eh ?

 

[Jurassic Sparks]

the RCD had been re sited, mainly because of the amount of earth faults
of course modifying a consumer unit is normal practise isnt it ??

 

[Jurassic Sparks]

 

[Jurassic Sparks]

electric gates were also fitted

 

[Jurassic Sparks]

external lighting connected to the ring main, well ring mains as we found out that all three had been joined together

 

[Jurassic Sparks]

supplies for two deep fat fryers ?????????????????????????????????????????

 

[Jurassic Sparks]

the pendant from hell

 

[Jurassic Sparks]

a mahoosive gas meter and some lovely protection for the wiring to the pumps and outside lights
