The two lighting cables to the left were for cabinet under lighting came out directly below the cable run and also a double socket directly below the two 2.5’s on the rightWe're they run in prescribed zones?
It seems grossly unfair that he hit almost 100% in the electrical department and 0% in the plumbing department....The two lighting cables to the left were for cabinet under lighting came out directly below the cable run and also a double socket directly below the two 2.5’s on the right
Well it looks like he was on some sort of prescription!We're they run in prescribed zones?
At least there’s a grommet in the box!Speaking of prescribed zones.
Property shows on TV. Awful.
Last nights was “Worst House On The Street” where a developer buys the worst house on the street and does it up a bit….
“Fitting these (sponsored) bath taps can add £thousands to the value….”
No… no it can’t.
So watching through as the naive developer sacks the first lot of builders… goes with more expensive ones, crashing through her budget… (wanted to spend £30k… with a little help from mommy and daddy… blew £78k on it and didn’t even touch the garden)
This scene pops up as they show the progress…

Unless there’s another socket out of shot above that chase, then vertical run isn’t in any prescribed zones.
My sister recently had B&Q re-fit her kitchen and it wasn't that cheap , the new kitchen fitted was over £8000 and this did not include any tiling or any flooring. She had to get a seperate tiler in for that. The job in its entirity cost her over £11,000Most of the time it’s a splash of paint and some “nice” light fittings…
No mention of wiring, plumbing, etc.
Next person buys something expensive that looks good, but faults will be starting… and they’ve got to fix all the hidden stuff and redecorate again.
Changing Rooms and DIY SOS are always the worst… Do all this is as little time as possible….
Paint going on freshly plastered walls… furniture going in when paint still wet!
If your budget is so limited…. B&Q kitchen, not Wren
Probably more than the cable suppling the fuse holder lolWhat is the current rating of a Stanley screw driver ?
At least that is out from AM2One of my biggest hates is when sparks use the G/Y as a phase ( live ) conductor just becuase they are too bone idle to go the wholesalers and buy a roll of proper 4 core flex
I have to confess, I do this (sleeved brown) for the occasional PIR where the cable's run externally.One of my biggest hates is when sparks use the G/Y as a phase ( live ) conductor just becuase they are too bone idle to go the wholesalers and buy a roll of proper 4 core flex
Well that's scuppered my little game hasn't itAt least that is out from AM2

He was definitely a good shot, right in the middle every time!!! Though maybe not so much with his hole positioning for fixing!had a customer call to say she had a kitchen fitter in to fit a new cupboard around the boiler and he thinks he may of hit a cable
So after chopping out two layers of tiles and some dot and dab found thisView attachment 100816
I think maybe who ever chased the socket in decided that they should leave room for the coaxSpeaking of prescribed zones.

Edit. I just noticed a cross on the wall beneath the vertical run…. Labelled “coax”
I think they forgot.
Nothing a sharp Stanley knife wouldn't fixCouldn’t do that with an insulated screwdriver.
It is not so common but I am sure I have seen 1mm H07RNF which would be a better match.I actually have 20meters of so of H07RNF in 4 core that I bought for this reason, but the smallest I could get is 1.5mm, and it's thicker than armoured. You just can't get it into most PIRs.
Pretty sure it's already been out for a long while, AM2 just makes it more obvious.At least that is out from AM2
It was clear i think for conduit wire, but wording not so obvious for multi-core wiring. At least AM2 has made it a simple rule.Pretty sure it's already been out for a long while, AM2 just makes it more obvious.
Hmmm.... funny old thing, the memory. Just grabbed the 2008 17th and it was prohibited in singles, not it seems multicores.Pretty sure it's already been out for a long while, AM2 just makes it more obvious.
Can think how I got on before they were inventedThank God for the Multi-Tool

4 c and 5 c hi-tuff is no thicker than standard 1.5 3c flexCYKY that many wholesalers sell as Hi-Tuff would be much less bulky.
NYY-J / Hi-tuff stuff is another option and probably easier to find than Flexishield (as long as you are happy with black), but still on the thick side and I can't recall seeing 1mm versions of it.CYKY that many wholesalers sell as Hi-Tuff would be much less bulky.

NYY-J and Flexishield are fairly nice to work with as they stay neatly in place with moderate fixings, where as the rubber stuff flexes a lot, which of course be useful in some case.
Hope you stuck a RCD 'test' label on the wall above the worktop, directly above it.no way don’t say someone’s put another consumer unit behind them units to supply the hob! No access at all
had to cut a big access panel in the side of the new drawer unit and found it
What are peoples opinions on using FP200 outside ?
use white and the sheath will be dust on the ground within 2 years.What are peoples opinions on using FP200 outside ?
I remember doing this when we used to work for the solihull councill in the 2000s , with a robin tester!!My own dodgy pic. Been testing an empty school with a non time delayed 100ma main switch rcd on TT. It was being a right royal pain in the --- so I took it out of the equation, safe me thinks so.View attachment 100878
Well yes I was using a Robin tester but that wasn't the sole reason. It was preventing testing of the 30ma rcbos.I remember doing this when we used to work for the solihull councill in the 2000s , with a robin tester!!
Never use an mft they are far too temperamental.I miss my set of Robin testers, so much faster than MFTs!
