Just this minute got back from quoting for a full report on a restaurant. Here are some of the photos of the board/s as I found them, in a cupboard at about head height. I especially love the use of a coat hanger as a DIN rail. Enjoy! :D

Think I'd be walking away........

Unless the client has deep pockets.

My thoughts exactly! I'm gonna quote, but doubt I'll get the job :D

Dont be such a wimp lol.
I love commercial periodics , the messier the better, its this sort of testing work that sorts the men from the boys.
Really enjoying the pics of the fusebox without the box. :-)
 
Picture 1 is the £250 fuseboard change he got done, much safer the then the old wooden back wylex
 
This is class man, pure class, thing is, unless the place is being refurbed anyway, you know there's no way in hell they gonna stop trading for a week or more so you can sort this crap out.

Possible the I only thing I ever saw that beats this lot is a photo a guy at college showed me a few years back where he'd been to a house and in the place where the CU should have been, was a wooden board with several strips of terminal block mounted on it as the distribution. Only protective device in the house was the 100A cut out. Now that dude deserves a medal for ingenuity.

Famous at last!! I just love it when people want to photo my work to savour it in their off time.

Not my finest example, admittedly, that job had a few head starts on it. I took my inspiration from the manufacturers of those DB's that say you can't mix and match...so I took the DB bit away, simples.

I wanted to get some self tap screws into those big fat cables that feed it all for a light in the gents as it was only the other side of the wall and the client didn't want to pay too much for a new wire, but I managed to fix it by cramming some other cables in to a breaker together and used some left over kitchen takeaway foil to plug the gap. Couldn't get a pic of that as the flash kept on reflecting in the foil.

Ye Gods! What on earth was somebody thinking?!!!
 
Worryingly unsafe as it is, I must admit there is something rather cool about the creators complete disregard for convention. It genuinley is a work of art
