Blowing my own trumpet

bit of a rewire i did thought id let you see a few pics not the neatest of boards

Looks good. Just a couple of questions.

1 Why didn't you just screw the tray direct to the joists, instead of using them upstands?
2 Why only 1 spare way in the DB?

 

[londonlec]

No insulation, lucky git :2guns:

 

[onions1066]

Someone seems to have stolen all the insulation. Nice job though. Why the need for the tray though? Dillb I guess the upstands aRe to keep it off the insulation so you can get the roll underneath?

 

[Silly Sausage]

Nice, but didn't you use raised tray for the branches?
Going to get covered in insulation!

 

[telectrix]

neat. and i like them BG boards as well.

 

[Bobster]

The CU is neat, although I still don't like the pre wired links (not your fault)

The cable tray looks a mess to me, if you've made the effort of fitting tray work to a domestic install I'd have spent a bit more time dressing them in neatly.

Meh sod em, the cables run through it anyway so derating factors should have been allowed for beforehand. How often do they give a ---- about us?

I agree totally and hand on heart I like what he has done but I would never do that in a domestic property just for some loft insulator to roll insulation over it and never be seen ever again . And I can guarantee if anyone works on it in the future and adds cables they won't be crawling Into the eaves to tie wrap to it .

I think it looks good, it really depends where in the house the board is.

The last bungalow I did, the loft was full to the brim with insulation and junk and the board was in the middle of the house.

It was difficult, the only option was for it to branch out all over the place and clipped to the sides of the joists, it was always going to be a slight mess.

I like yours though.

 

[ArseyDee]

Nice. I like that.

 

[ALD]

Tidy mate.

 

[netblindpaul]

Grouping factors?...

 

[Dcf]

nice board as i find they are not the easiest to get neat due to the internal tails.
good idea for the tray but a bigger size would have made dressing neater
i can see this happening more because of the insulation getting put in roof spaces these days
the bungalow I've started this week is full of that blown fibre with old carpets on the top!
I'm toying with the idea of cable basket rather than tray as i find it better for T&E imo

 

[Dipzy]

Looks lovely... but was thinking grouping factors too ????

 

[Thefailsafe2012]

Rarely seen a length of tray in a domestic!

Nice job mate, what's the red un' run in with the t&e? It looks flat or is it FP?

I was wondering that myself...I though cat5 network cable, but then it looks flat and too large for network / data cabling....

Nice job though, Also a fan of BG boards...far more than wylex or mk....

 

[Thefailsafe2012]

I've only used one BG board, lovely to use apart from the neutral bar terminals were awwwwful! The threads on the screws or bar were totally fudged. Had to exchange it for another and it was ok, so I hope it was a one off.

Haven't done a wylex before and a couple of MK's which I thought sucked, hager have always been reliable boards, just wish they'd do away with the simply outrageous nicotiney creamy colour. :earmuffs:

Anyway, I hope it's not a cat 5 or similar else I will be informing the Band I/Band II segregation police :cool3:

 

[guest119]

OMG, another one day rewire!! :cowboy: :ciappa:

Insulation Monkeys will probably loop the insulation over your tray! LOL - Im a fan of BG boards too
