Looks like a knot, not a not. It was supposed to be a joke.

Lord this is hard work.

i saw the joke, but knot many others did.

 

[JK-Electrical]

It’s a knot

From Knott End?

 

[telectrix]

nah. from Knotty Ash. where the jam butty mines are. just down the road from where i was born.

 

[Baddegg]

Ummmmmmmmm, Seems legit.......??

 

[Dustydazzler]

What’s under the paper bag.....?

 

[Taylortwocities]

Maintenance free connectors, strain relief clamps, sleeving????

 

[Dustydazzler]

Maintenance free connectors, strain relief clamps, sleeving????

wishful thinking....

Most probably twisted bare wires and a bit of sellotape

 

[123]

Doesn't need to be maintenance free as you can clearly get access to it

 

[Baddegg]

What’s under the paper bag.....?

Old single socket and metal back box......easily accessible after removing carpet...hardboard sheets.....paper sheets and then using 2 crow bats and a hammer ?....did me a favour though really as I was extending the rfc, took one side straight up into my new socket and then ran a new leg to my next sockets..

I remember going to Knotty Ash stadium when Huyton played rugby there......locals from a council estate wrecked the away team coach.

Don't need to worry about minimum bending radius when installing SWA.

 

[Dustydazzler]

Looks like its almost been pounded flat with a mallet....

Probably has Mate

 

[Baddegg]

that took some patience or a BIG hammer!

 

[pirate]

We all know how important proper cable restraint is...

 

[telectrix]

talk about being between a rock and a hard place.

 

[pirate]

This is where it goes next...
along the sand and into the stream...

 

[richy3333]

customer kindly put the armoured cable in ducting. It buries itself ?

 

[ruston]

Must be honest people around your way . The lifespan of that would be in the tens of minuets here.

 

[pirate]

Nice...

Self-burying conduit!

 

[Pete999]

Nice...

Self-burying conduit!

SWA isn't it?

 

[richy3333]

Both @Pete999 SWA inside the duct. The ground is basically made up of rock so won't be easy to bury and will never get to the required depth. Glad its not my job on this one but customer is very skilled (just built his own house) and will get it in the ground.

Looks like the final scenes from The Bridge on the River Kwai.

Another nice tidy fire alarm installation.

 

[Dustydazzler]

I have seen far far worse...

 

[Fazz711]

Been banging on about the need to change all the floros with LEDs for a while this might speed it along a bit.

Good point.....it's contained to a degree.
Bad point.....you can't see it 'till it's way too late.

There was a hole melted into the diffuser too that no one had noticed.

Simple job then?

 

[freddo]

Yep, nice new twin led anti corrosive now in its place.

could you not have soldered the wires on to the tube pins?

 

[ipf]

could you not have soldered the wires on to the tube pins?

Looks like that might not have been needed...no MIG welder either.

 

[freddo]

The ballast was burnt out for the other tube.

 

[littlespark]

Two industrial units. Namely Unit 1 and Unit 2... Used to be all one site with one electric supply, but now split.
Unit 1 has had a sub meter put in to measure the electric Unit 2 uses until they get a dedicated supply put in by Scottish Power.

I think the installer got a little mixed up....
