Can't believe it! - Said it was fixed

[Inteificio]

Hi,

A few will remember a thread in December where a sparky had done some work at my parents house had done a lousy job.

He had SWA going straight in to the main board unsupported, two strands of the steel were in a terminal block and went to the earth bar. This is two core wire, the sole CPC is two strands of steel, these two strands of steel were the only thing supporting the SWA.

I kicked off and was assured the issue was fixed.

Went back this weekend and this is what I saw.



So what are the thoughts of the forum?

(Going back next weekend with my tester, circuit is off until then.)

I should add that earth wire behind it is not for this circuit.

It angers me seeing this, its quicker to gland it off properly rather than mess about with two strands of wire etc.

Whats the banjo doing? Not much by the looks of it.

why would a spark get a spark in to do their parents house...i remember the posts,spark goes in your parents house to do work and when he's gone you pull the job apart,because your to busy to do it..didnt belive it then and still dont now..

or maybe he lives 100 miles from his parents??? anyway, not just the SWA thats a problem. what about the IP rating of the underside of that box? IP4X, don't think so.

Spot on Tel, the voice of reason! For Gods sake we don't know the whole story so we should not judge! I know we all judge at times but i think Tel has brought us back to our senses!

Agreed, but my point is not to judge the OP. If you look at the original post it was December when he first looked at job, it is now May when he looked again. This is not someone that lives round the corner from his parents house. We don't know the whole story!

1: I have a full time contract
2: I live 90 mins drive away
3: Not part P scheme- I'm employed as an electrical engineer - This is also the probable reason alarm man is being a ****** <---(bleeped so Mods don't complain that I called him a dick). The other reason may be because behind the mask Alarm boy recognizes his own work!
4: Architect arranged all staff
5: Current spark is friend of friend or parents (or something like that)

I did come across and help out for a weekend, but that was more for me to learn more than anything else.

Do you have any proof of that? if so let's all hear it.

Pretty strong words from a so called 'Respected Member'

Is it the usual with you, Saturday night, have a few beers, get your nasty head on and pick on somebody?

For an alarm man a bit judgemental!

Didn't spot that! One more thing to check next weekend.
