Mates on my course just been doing a house clearance on a rental property. DIY Spurs off Spurs.

Another interesting arrangement!

Love the upside down socket! In the first photo it's possible the 2 sockets were fed from an FCU. I'm guessing this wasn't the case though. Daz

Or perhaps were part of a radial rather than a ring? Still rough as though. I've installed a couple upside down sockets before as the need dictated.

maybe the tenant was australian.

Sometimes you just have to go with what's practical. Ancient timber framed building. I decided that the wall wasn't solid enough to support a socket:

Are these steel toe cap pink slippers, and do they match your top????

I'm afraid they don't match.

However, I recently bought a pair of these steelies:

They're great for working in furnished houses. I don't like having to remove shoes when I'm working. They look really low key, so most people don't mind me wearing them, and they have a shallow tread, so don't pick up muck.

Got a call out to a house where the RCD tripped instantly when the MCB was turned on for the kitchen ring. Investigated the fault, located it was something load side of the boiler fused supr. Took the cover off the boiler to check the wiring and find this:

Blocked condenser leaked milky water alllllll over the electrical connections.

I think that's a bad habit you have.

It's not a bad habit, it's a Super Power if it ended up there

Found this behind an old consumer unit NOT ACCESSIBLE OR VISIBLE:

A freaking henley block! Luckily there was enough slack on the existing meter tails to connect to the new consumer unit without having to replace them.

Awesome. Never seen a MF Henley block before, maybe you should invent one, there's clearly demand for them!

[Dave OCD]

Must have been hard work making that look so atrocious !

 

[freddo]

I think it was made much worse when someone altered the wiring to fit 5x Nest receivers! I was just there to swap a faulty valve.

As Dave said, surely it would have been easier to just do it correctly and neatly! Doesn't anyone have pride in their work anymore?
