Another beauty, agricultural job, spot the mistakes.
I love Farm work, it never ceases to amaze me, even when you think you have seen all the lash ups and bodges someone will come up with a new one!

I like the SWA Gland, allows you to see if the armour has deteriorated or not. Do you know where i can get hold of some of them….?

I like the lack of cable support for the tails to to the left hand CU. Always try to keep cost down for the customer. As Tesco say, every little helps.

I also like the way they have the single insulation exposed on the undersized SWA going into the terminal blocks. Can make sure the right cable is in the right block then. Easy to check on inspections.
 
It is a cracker! There is also no earth to the single phase fuseboard, the Swa of the 10mm cable is connected in with the neutral of the 4pole switch as well as exposed insulation and no gland. There is a single phase Swa 2x2.5mm with no earth rammed in with the 25mm tails before the isolator so DNO fuse is protecting that!
It took me a few looks at it to see what else was going on there! There is a real banquet for the eyes!😀
@westward10 it is Swa just bad lighting.

....that top T+E's a picture for level, though.

and I'd like a look in those Henleys...
 
The twin and earth clipping is very neat, shame about the rest of the installation!
I am quoting for it at the moment, if I get the job I will take some more pictures of the insides of the installed stuff, I bet there are some cables with haircuts in those henley blocks, and would love to see the inside of that 4 pole isolator, wonder how they have fitted the swa strands into the neutral terminal with the 10mm conductor!

Todays little beauties. Guessing the previous person hasn’t heard of checking connections are tight and secure.

Obviously did with the 16a Wylex MCB though as they’ve started to split the MCB casing.

Nicely pinched insulation on the CPC too. Although not bothered with one leg of the ring. Not like it’s important as the other leg CPC is connected…

I tried very hard just once to report a telephone pole connection that had fallen off a bracket and was hanging by its cables, the amount of detain they wanted made me loose the will to live, it was obvious the operator was not interested in taking the details and solving the potential problem, not that I could understand most of what they where speaking.

It's nigh on impossible to report any telecoms issue, unless you are a customer and can demonstrate an issue with your service.

I tried umpteen times to have Openreach fix cables that had been pulled to the ground by a fallen tree, resulting in a junction box lying open to the elements and cables being driven over by farm machinery. Those cables lay in a field for three full years, before we finally lost internet connection and they promptly arrived to investgate. The engineer who attended seemed unsurprised that no one wanted to know.
