Extension

[davethsparky]

Saw a link to this website on another forum, thought we could all have a game of spot the diy electrical disasters!

I'll set the ball rolling with the T+E layed across the floor ready to be smashed to bits, you can see someone has already kicked it in one of the pictures, and that's before the plasterers started!

Quality use of what looks like the push fit flexy link you get with a shower pump in the plumbing too!

Re: how not to wire your extension

ha! as if they used rockwool to insulate the cavity!!
if theres one thing i hate it's people having a go at something and then doing it wrong. it's like they are saying "your job is so easy i can do it just as good and alot cheaper!!"
and i hate seeing a job half done, for 3/4 of the price of doing it properly, or even worse they spend even more and still end up cocking it up.

Day 23. "Channel dug for new tap pipe" using a blunt shovel to dislodge bits of brick by the looks of it. Shocking work.

It might just be my crap eyesight but it looks like there is T&E between the plaster board and back box on the lower socket.
Amongst many other shockers.

This looks like a job for Dom Jolly or whatever his name is.
Maybe Mellinda might get him some free furniture out of it

Once all covered up and lights are on the people who go round for him to show off his shiny new extension will be none the wiser, and think it's a good job, then probably use the 'builder' on their house
