Pete's Videos A botch job innit Matey????

[Pete999]

He is probably a perfectly decent bloke but it irritates the --- off me when people post YouTube videos using inappropriate installation methods.

So sorry Westy I'll try and find some correct install methods for your amusement.

No Pete this stuff does amuse me.

Apart from his over the top fake jack the lad (but really a posh boy) video personality I quite like him.

For me it's nice to see how a sparks goes about certain situations and what jobs he undertakes.

Although I don't take everything he does or says as "correct"

He does seem to take pride so top marks for that

 

[gazdkw82]

Actually you know what, I applaude the man.

He does a regular video diary of his working day as an electrician, open to full scrutiny in a very technical industry. He must be confident

 

[Rpa07]

You've been mulling that over all day haven't you @gazdkw82 ?

 

[gazdkw82]

How'd you guess

Young guy who worked for me years ago liked coffee. Made by wife strong and he drank it throughout the day until one time he thought he was having a heart attack. People near him called an ambulance and eventually it turned out he took too much caffeine in via his over doing the coffee. Never have that trouble with gin.

He must be confident

....... or just plain cocky.

 

[gazdkw82]

iv met many cocky people and he isn't cocky.

I've met plenty of cocky people too, and this guy certainly struck me as being full of himself.

 

[gazdkw82]

Well maybe we all have different perceived levels of cockyness

 

[JK-Electrical]

Indeed so. There is a very thin line between confidence and arrogance.

The joints stuffed up into the ceiling are bad enough, but then the control gear/transformers or whatever they are sit up there in the void as well - perfect fire fodder! You wouldn't know you had a fire till the void was well alight! (usually lots of sawdust/debris up there). Looks like one of the downlighters was a near miss!
As you might guess, I just don't like things hidden away in ceilings- call me old fashioned! Shouldn't you use fire retardent enclosures for ceiling lights?

He wants to have a quick look at Reg 559.5.1 to realise that circular junction box is not a suitable luminare coupler nor does it incorporate cord restraint. Just noticed the sunglasses on his head ...

I'm more accepting of people's little ways - sunglasses, wigs and false beards etc. But I did go 'ugh' when I saw this going back up
