I hope you're happy with a future in jail for this. It may be tongue-in-cheek but there's nothing to suggest so, smileys etc. Take the P by all means but this post is reckless beyond words.
The original poster didn't come here to get the P taken out of him, he came here for advice given his brother has totally cacked his house. Help the man FFS, don't slaughter him.
CCrowe,
Ok Rum was a bit tongue in cheek, but hey Rum is Rum, and this place wouldnt be the same without him
regarding this chap - you said we should help him, and I have;
I have told him to get someone who knows what they are doing
And in his own words,. he knows nothing about mains electrics.
One wonders, if you try and help him, and he ends up putting the switch accross line and neutral, which is the obvious things that could (and does) happen in these situation, I hope you will have checked that
A. He has a CPD on the circuit and
B. It is suitable
Because of course if the circuit has been botched (as it has this time) who's to say theres not a freekin nail in there??????
or even off the showers 45A fuse? or straight of the incoming supply?
You see, laughing and joking aside:-
If someone wants advise on changing a ceiling rose (for example) BEFOREHAND,I will try and help - even if that help is to make them realise their own limitations and get someone in.
If someone who is qualified and experienced and needs help I will (and very often do) help them
and if someone (as they do) comes on here and says "i am on 2nd year 2330 etc etc but what the hell IS Zs", then no probs
But you will notice a distinct lack of helpfullness on here from me, and most of the regular posters, for people who by their own admission dont know, have had a go anyway, and knackered it
other than of course "GET AN ELECTRICIAN IN LIKE YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD HAVE IN THE FIRST PLACE"
