This year I saw a whole brewery wired in. Done by the owner. He asked me to sign it off for him as the insurers were asking for certification. Was very miffed when I said he'd never get me drunk enough to falsely sign a certificate! Also asked me how he could fiddle his meter!
 
Is that not sy oh why
May be, but can't see any sign of braiding on the photo,
It was YY in the foundry.

Looking closer, I think you're right.
 
I hope all that braiding was connected to earth.
 
I'll be taking the lid off next week, I bet the braid isn't connected.

Just noticed the 5 pin 32A sockets haven't got RCD protection either, and there are rubber extension leads all over the floor with various steel items everywhere.

Braid should be earth through appropriate sy gland, not shoved into the earth bar as I see so often.

I think it's better unearthed along with the conductors and thrown in the bin :)

only problem might be the IP rating will probably only apply if fitted to a flat surface
 
Most ingenious.......with that cable ladder rack. 😉
Its main use is for the kids to climb to reach the shower

If an artist can display a messy bedroom as art, then surely that board must be a winner!

I think Artist is a very loose description of what Tracy Emin does, beggars belief she has been appointed professor to the "Royal College of Art" ? 🥴
 
Odd way of making your own PME earth

Not dodgy but does anybody know this brand and finish?

i think the finish is "dirty" with an overtone of cat.
how people prepare food where animals have been walking around has always baffled me.
 
Yeah I've done other work there before (just got sent a picture) it's a big house but very messy
 
@LewisM ,

I think they are LAP accessories, I've had to fit them in the past (customer supplied). They look to be a near perfect match of the current ones but having just looked, I'm not sure that finish/insert combination is still available.

Edit: If I had to have a punt on the finish name, I'd go for polished black nickel with black inserts, which I vaguely recall seeing in the catalogues a few years ago, but as I say, I've just had a look and it doesn't appear they have a suitable match currently.
