You never know if things you are buying are genuine or not unfortunately even reputable dealers have been found to have been supplied with counterfeit stuff.

Agree , you can't trust the backside you sit on these days.

He paid full price, and has the order receipt, which clearly states genuine Makita battery on it.

Oh, apologies. That's a different matter. I assumed the obvious looking "compatible" batteries.

Hey rus, even youngsters can get the runs after a night out on the tiles, you know.

that would be the builder who put up the partition walls and false ceiling expect.

 

[telectrix]

best part is. 1 MCB feeds the tills. shop trades 7 am to 10pm. no chance of doing anything with it unless..

1. they shut shop for a day..... no chance.
2. they pay me £50/hour for night shift. .... negotiating.

 

[James]

I have a 1Kw silent suitcase type genny that I use in that sort of circumstance.
tills on extension lead, start at 9am home for tea time.
everyone's a winner

 

[westward10]

Start at 6am then.

 

[James]

Start at 6am then.

Love it, start at 6.
from 6.15 onwards, every 10 minutes you will have someone reminding you of the time left before the tills MUST BE BACK ON.

sometimes pressure accelerates work speed.
sometimes not!!

 

[westward10]

Once its off its off. Do loads of retail tests and one till circuit is no hardship. Probably two circuits including the submain.

 

[westward10]

And one more maybe for the router.

No CPC to metallic fluorescent light tube fitting. There was an attempt to bond it to some pipe work but a plumber appears to have updated the pipe work.

Reasons not to put a water heater on a 13A plug #1324

Should have used a bakelite plug top like in John Ward's recent video.

 

[freddo]

MK Safety Plugs are super plugs for high current appliances. I have several here, I quite like the charcoal ones. Have a few not so common versions like the one pictured too.

Just a thought you think it would be useful to post a contrastin thread where you have seen admirable work done?

I am sure everyone has come across work you have thought now this person knew what they were doing, perhaps should shocase that?

There is one somewhere

I think Westward started it and there are some good examples of how things should be done in there.

Coming to conclusion we prefer something to moan about / feel fortunate its not us !

Coming to conclusion we prefer something to bitch about rubbish work than praise good work....and bitch about the guy having too much time on his hands

A mate sent me this lovely effort that he came across

 

[NDG Elecs]

Temp builders supply whilst extension is being built. At first the mess of sockets were in a wheelie bin and the CU was covered over with a bit of tarp! If you looked up you could see the sky clearly above your head! This is a commercial premises and that board is a sub board fed from an MCB on another dual RCD board, so when it tripped it took half the building out...

 

[telectrix]

what's the IP rating of a wheelie bin?

 

[Dustydazzler]

Pretty good if you seal the edges with mastic

 

[NDG Elecs]

They were all in the yellow bin at the top of the first photo. It had tripped at least three times, either due to condensation or the good inch worth of moist dust at the bottom of the CU. What is silly about it all is that it took a mere 30 mins to strip out the redundant sockets. Bearing in mind this is a dentist's and every time it tripped they lost one chair and the compressor went off too. That's probably a fair bit of lost revenue for a profession that pays well.
It's still not ideal by a long stretch but the roof is going up this week at least. I told them it should not be energised as is and left it up to them. At least the RCDs work ok though !

 

[freddo]

A stupid attempt at installing an inline fan.

Powerline adaptors, the left one is connected to a broadband router just out of shot, the right one is connected to a card reader sat next to the router, the only internet connected equipment at the premises...

One of several sockets wired in twin red 1.5mm cable, all had reverse polarity.
