Good Old Delroy, he gets all the best Jobs :)

I remember someone saying about Dels videos are not polished etc compared to others.

I would be interested in any thoughts on this one.

Disjointed and not telling the full picture, like most of stuff he post up, stares at the MFT and no xplanation as to what if anything he has done good for a laugh though

Schneider make a very interesting board with hinged DIN rails makes fitting out much easier, as far as I know only available as a multi row board in plastic.

I remember the one where he was sorting some dodgy sockets under kitchen cupboards. He routed the cables around the cupboards and up the wall completely out of any prescribed zones and called it a good job.

Cool

 

[Dustydazzler]

To be fair to Del , he was trying not to ruin the customers new build kitchen by routing the cables to avoid too much surface damage

When he says “No one has a clue what's going on”, that includes himself


This is a good one, Pete at the end of the video he shows how having 40 years of experience has pretty much amounted to knowing next to nothing.

Well done for getting the thread back on track!!
I think i saw him mention before he always records the x1 trip time even if the RCD is being used for additional protection. Guess that's what they did "back in the day" Although that's all changing in am2 isn't it?

We always used to record 1 x and 5 x from RCDs

Just like his work then

Ahh, that's because Del is always one step ahead.

 

[Petej999]

A bit of a joke really isn't it.

It seems that it's Ok for instance a 110mm fan pipe to bridge the gap as well as the dozens of ties, water, gas, etc etc but not a bit of cable.

When is DEL going to bring out a record to the tune of "jive talking" by the BGs and call it "Drivel talking"

 

[Dave OCD]

Not sure why but I get an inkling that Pete isn't Delroys biggest fan....

Seemed more concerned about the misaligned sockets than any electrical testing... Still for £100 an hr.....

Always something to learn from good old Del.

He's just ----ed he's been replaced as Chairman of the Del fan club by @Dustydazzler

Love the way Del spends 10-15 mins huffing and puffing over the overlapping flat plate sockets

Comedy gold right there

 

[Diddy]

I get the impression that a lot of people slag off Del's work would not have the balls to post up their own work for all to scrutinise. Might be a touch of envy that Del charges 3 figures an hour while many of these guys do £25's if they are lucky...Just the way some come across like.
It is not confined to Del btw, I also note that almost every UK based youtube spark comes in for similar treatment lol, Artisan electrics even got slammed for being able to charge hundreds where others charge pennies lol.

 

[Dustydazzler]

£50 for Dels electrical knowledge & £50 because it is Del the celeb

Nothing to do with the money. It's the work I've seen in his videos that doesn't really impress me. I don't honestly think it is worth the premium amount being charged.
