rough, but it's only 12V, innit?

Only little wires, must be safe

Quick job - isolate and remove the bathroom fan

 

[SJD]

Moving a socket 200mm to the left if you are a builder - how to join the cable in the wall before plastering it over.

To be fair, the actual joints had a bit of thin card to protect the joint from the plaster.

NB: The original cable is rubber, approx. 60 years old, and exposed basic insulation has become quite crumbly.

Oh yes
Red to blue
Black to brown
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust

This job is also in a 900 yr old Castillated mansion house..
Timber’s dry and crumbly..
All circuits crammed into a 16 way consumer unit..
RCD works well though and it is giving me plenty of call outs

Thought that JB was the consumer unit Charlie.

Haha yes there is enough cables there for that to be so..
Back in the day, when one of our skills was ; how many wires could be squeezed into a jb..

I’ll imagine you didnt get a very good R1R2 on that install especially regarding the armour of the SWA!

On the golf course this morning...
what is the IP rating of this assembly?

I think the JB might be ok, but the switch on a bit of plywood?

Still...it's Spain...

 

[DPG]

Definitely below par.

 

[pirate]

The sign says "Press Hooter", but there 2 of them...did someone censor this?

 

[MG201]

At least it’s protected from uv exposure

 

[pirate]

unlike the top of my head, which looks like a huge Panic Button!

 

[Pete999]

What voltage is it operating at?

 

[pirate]

It's fed by a big blue cable that snakes away over the undergrowth...so I am assuming 230V as this is a common setup

 

[pirate]

On some holes, the warning is a good old-fashioned bell, with a clapper! Probably cos the cost of the cable was too much

 

[pirate]

Looks like it may be tee'd off the street lighting...
