Hell, I can go into any farm cottage around here and see similar, if not worse.

After or before your install

Hey… I resemble that remark!

Most of the ones I find are in a tiny space either above the front door…. Under the stairs… or my most recent find… above the staircase… so you need wonky legged steps and a steady balance just to reach it…

Staring through a ladies window in the middle of the night will cause you to go blind

Reminds me of an old Mike Harding line where he says he woke with a stiff neck after sleeping near an open French widow

I thought that’s what happens if you couldn’t swallow a ------ pill properly and it gets stuck in your throat.

What the heck is the problem with the V word?

It’s a prescription medicine…. Maybe because it’s a trade name?


Next thing, you’ll be saying we can’t use -----, -------- and ------- In our messages.

makes no sense.

It would if you were blind from looking through ladies windows

enough now, I've seen better behaviour from a 5yr old having a tantrum.
It started as a poorly judged joke and is not getting any better.

Drop it and move on like grown ups.

The answer to almost zero IR lies within. I love the brick.

I'm also quietly proud of my assistant, 3rd year in college, and let loose solo on this unoccupied property. He's traced the problem down to this section and worked out which bit of floor to dig up all on his own.
We're now up to 8Mohms from 0.03Mohms. He's clipping it all up off the floor now, poor chap!
I reckon he deserves a beer or two later.

Looks a bit damp down there.

Looks a bit damp down there.

It does. Any sign of air vents that might be blocked?
I've traced loads of cases of poor IR down to these junction boxes. Usually down to them being full of damp cobwebs, up on a beam in some agricultural outbuilding.
Quick cure was to clean it out and to pack it full of a red plasticine like compound, whose name escapes me. 'R' something, IIRC.

I've seen under-floor spaces that are tidal - literally, water level went up and down with the tide

The only case for true rising damp.

Well thats one way to avoid random tripping HA HA!

 

[Cbelectrics]

Mechanical what???

 

[Rockingit]

NOT dodgy!! I wish we did this more in the U.K… Zurich. (All behind clear Perspex, if it’s not obvious).

That's a lovely panel.
We did some bio digester plant a couple of years ago the panels were all made in Germany and very tidy indeed!
Only trouble was that the instructions to install them were in German and none of us did!!
Also isn't there a thread on here for jobs done properly?

Good job someone went to the effort of making the live cable end safe.

However it would have been easier to just unplug it from the end of the block...
