Funny one today.... :wacko:

Been to connect up some garden lights + water feature.

Customer kindly ran all the cables in under the new patio, 1mm 3 core flex ---> through alkerthine.

Insisted on getting his own cable, trying to save ££.
Went to cut back the flex to length at my adaptable box, but thought that looks a bit strange - he's only gone a brought a drum of co-ax and wired it all in that :6:

Luckily I had decided to price this one on a decent hourly rate as a fair bit of fiddling around.

Spent most of the morning between ripping up his new patio and re-wiring it all.

:biggrin5::biggrin5:

Recently I quoted to replace a 45 year old (perished) cable to a garage - the customer decided to do it himself and get me back to connect and test.

When I went back I discovered that when his son in law had helped dig the trench and when doing so he had he punctured the gas main coming into the house!
