My near neighbour asked me to have a look at his new LED lights, not both coming on, now in a Wago junction box and working.

This is close, but not quite, IP4X

DNO installed cutout, 25mm tails, and yup, the top is just as carefully carved out

Got this photo sent by the Seal Fairy….

“Technically, the seal itself hasn’t been cut”

Recent Installation of sockets and two ramp supplies, looks like he ran out of swa and decided to use some t&e in tube instead, it's not ideal but instead of a drop to the ramps he decided to add a spur and throw it on the floor into a low socket.

This is what I deal with on a regular basis.

Yes, I often think that when I'm shuffling about in the dusty insulation and rotted dead mice bodies.

Second time in as many weeks I’ve encountered a pipe jockey trying to make my life difficult.

10/10 for ingenuity but I don’t recall that being a recognised method to earth the armour of SWA. In case you can’t see it. They had cut all bar 6 strands and terminated them into the earth terminal on the switched fused spur.

I had to decommission this as it was supplying a workshop running a table saw, pillar drill, lathe, dust extraction system as well as the usual lights and sockets. Funny enough it kept blowing the 13A fuse.

Fortunately there was an unused cooker circuit that I was able to use to supply power to the workshop instead. And I glanded the armour properly!

6 strands???
6!
That's pretty good, tbh!

As part of a quick 'refurb' (ie changing socket fronts) for a client, I did what I thought would be a simple extend surface socket (on RFC) from skirting up to flush in wall above.

Tugged the cables to get extra length, and this appeared from beneath the floor:

Not only were the wires just twisted together and taped over, they also managed to add the two new cables feeding the socket as a figure of 8 from the existing RFC

Just goes to show - would not have been detected by testing when I get to changing the board, unless I'd done a ring continuity test at this specific socket, which would have been 0.001 I'd guess...

R1+R2 might have been a little different than on the rest of the ring, but likely not enough to throw up a concern.

Not a dodgy trade pic but a dodgy advert.

Not sure of prices of these nowadays, but this cheap?? Suggests broken, selling for spares or stolen

I bet the seller has similar morels to the guy that popped round at 3am and “borrowed “ my cordless drill from the boot of my pickup.
