Happy Christmas delroy if you're watching

Or posting

Thanks.....


I mean , I am sure he will see this

 

[Mikegh]

He's ok and like posters said he takes on crap jobs, I was just in a bad mood

 

[telectrix]

me down hospital yesterday for a ct scan., following a chest x-ray showing a shadow on my lungs.
" we found the problem, it's been sorted"
"how sorted you, not cut me open yet?"
"it's OK, dab of windowlene on the scanner glass smear fixed it".

I never see CJR doing anything dangerous. I actually asked on here once for people to point me to his 'dangerous' or 'crap' work and nobody could (aside from that SWA he did..)

From what i've seen he does good work.

Delroy on the other hand, i think he's fairly poor. Anyone who glues trunking onto new expensive tiles and then no-nails' on a shaver socket next to a sink instead of simply cutting out a full tile and then putting it back and using plugs to fix the box........just no.

Love Delroy's 1 size fits all screwdriver

best screwdrivers are them wht you can hit with a hammer and they don't bend or break.

You mean, someone else’s?

 

[Mikegh]

And his one size fits all level

He normally uses a wera interchange screwdriver , so technically he has 1 screwdriver (handle) but uses different inserts

I see Del has a new fancy magnetic screwdriver in the latest vid , very posh Del

With a few deft strokes of a magnet, you too can have one of those fancy devices.

And he finally got a voltstick for himself

Why on earth didn't he A- check the dry lining box cutting area with a bradawl first to check for timbers behind or B - just fix the plasterboard back with a couple of screws and make the double box cutout an inch and a half higher- or lower ??
Instead of butchering the timber frame and making extra work.....

 

[Petej999]

Watched up to about 5 minutes

Not great that he earthed the socket but ignored the rest of the circuit, if that's the way he left it

He hacked the wall to bits, when you can see the cable could have been easily fished.

I wonder how many people think that a Bus bar is called Buzz Bar because of the likes of David Savery, I did actually ask him a while back "whats a buzz bar" his reply was something to do with putting it in a**es.

Another one who bans criticism.

I did think he was a decent spark, but I've seen a few of his jobs that were far from decent his latest one where he thought it was fine to have no rcd on an outside light.

I personally don't think cutting into a noggin for a backbox is such a big problem in the grand scheme, if it gets the accessory to where the customer wants it. A lot of newer builds don't have noggins in their stud walls anyway.

He cut one more hole than was absolutely necessary, but you saw the state of the wall anyway, hardly a big deal when it all needs patching up.

The cable route in the vid possibly raises an eyebrow, but perhaps it will be >50mm from the surface.

I thought that , but once the wall is re-boarded with 12.5 mm board and tiled the cable will likely be 50mm below surface so no zone required

I also agree that chopping the joist is no big deal , more time consuming yes but he makes a nice job of it and the box has something nice to fix to...

 

[Zerax]

I did laugh though when the appearance of the noggin was clearly a surprise to him !

 

[Dustydazzler]

Quite a lot of older builds have random placed bits of wood and pipes at random places
