Help me out... I can’t see the picture??

my brother in law was in the Scots Guards and played bagpipes. He’s appeared at the end of the Hootenany programme a number of times, but didn’t have the sense to ask for autographs.

How much would an Amy Whinehouse signature fetch these days?

that's good.them barbarian scots need guarding. enough of them climbed over adrian's wall as it is. ( where's the smileys, dan?)
 
The first one just needs ripping out and sorting....the second open JB needs a bit more investigation as to why the bell don't work?. It's fed directly from the rewireable CU and a bit worrying where the outgoing T+E is shooting off to, as well.

Love the bellwire!

That's what kicked me into doing a full check of our own house electrics several years after moving in (a job i was getting round to...), I found the whole of the lights and socket outlets in the loft wired in bellwire - two core of course, all light fittings class 1 metal fluorescent and naturally std 13A skt outlets..

It's another bit of a favour.....removing wall light wiring (permanent live) fed from local roses...should be simple but only one twin at each rose, hence that first photo.
I'm too owd for this carp......give me some old industrial breakdowns.
 
And yes, as above, A haggis is a sneaky little thing. you think you have it trapped and it escapes at a speed you have never seen before.
Only the best Scotts can catch one of the wiley little critters.

Scarey!!
Out of interest, how were the cables? Scorched and brittle or good condition?

Many years ago when we first moved to Scotland, we decided to add concealed bolts to the double doors into the garden (this sort of thing https://www.NoLinkingToThis/p/era-brass-concealed-door-security-bolts-60mm-2-pack/5748G)

So he carefully marked the holes, removed the doors so he could drill for the bolt from below and above as they couldn't be done in situ.

He made a really good job tbh.

But when he put the doors back on, it turned out he had drilled and fitted the escutcheons for the star key on the OUTSIDE!!!

He wasn't a happy bunny, threw a nice 5 year old style tantrum!
 
i Used to always panic drilling blind through walls even after measuring to predict where the drill would poke out...
there are quite a few houses where I live plumbed using micro bore copper pipe buried in the plaster , it goes any where and everywhere with no thought or zoning

Looks good to me!

That’s a fire waiting to happen, those fuel cans are sh1te and leak out the vented caps when bouncing around. Whoever thought to store them alongside the batteries with that abomination of wiring is a total genius.

I’m going have to share this photo with a few of my marine engineering mates.

I’ll report back their thoughts. ?
