Anyone fancy this tomorrow. I can't be bothered!

Found 14 JBs in less than two square feet today. Lovely! Some are out of shot but this was the worst bit... Two rings interconnected. Great stuff!

Looks like JB’s nesting. Jolly good luck.

 

[Rosco]

Wow

 

[Wilko]

Fantastic - I'm such a twisted person that I'd love to tidy that up, just not for free .

 

[telectrix]

what's the 1st class return air fare to tyneside? send by bacs and i'll do it for £300 cash on top and a 5 * hotel for 1 night.

Snap! actually this is the back room I am working on for @NDG Elecs and like @Wilko I actually enjoyed sorting this out.

At least they put them on a little raft...On more than one occasion,i have seen where the floor boards,or at least the short section that invariably bridges these JB nests,is resting on the JB cover tops.
If they are packed with conductors,the covers are sometimes tight against these,and just the constant tiny deflection of foot traffic,above,usually near a doorway,can turn them in to a fault-pressure pad

In the past,i had one in a large Victorian semi,where everybody had tried to find this random tripping issue,and given up.

After standard tests had not revealed much,apart from confirming the mess of it,i had a lad marching round the place,with an IR test locked on a group of circuits, half an hour later,a bedroom doorway,was discovered to be the display changer

Carpets and boards up,and it looked just like your picture

we know that. yours would have all the copper green from salt water immersion.

No way! I have sacrificial anodes on me rudder...ooh-aarrhh!

That typical crap. I found this the other day. Before and after

 

[Toneyz]

I think the box needs earth fly lead.

That’ll be the wooden leg pirate....

 

[Midwest]

I think the former looked better than the latter.

 

[pirate]

My wooden leg has termites, dammit!

 

[stevethesparks]

Nice to see a decent adaptable box, unlike the tin foil ones available nowadays.

 

[cliffed]

I just love wagos,how much crap is out there.

 

[Dustydazzler]

I wouldn’t touch any of that rubbish unless I was ripping it all out for a full complete rewire.

I often find bare connector blocks up in lofts or under floors , if the customer wants I will try to pop a chocbox on it just for piece of mind.

How've the mummy and daddy black JBs had lots of little white JBs, thought that was genetically impossible.

Beat me to it. Must have an apprentice spider working with him.
