hi guys
At the ripe old age of 52 I have qualified as a Domestic installer, I’ve been looking around this forum from time to time so I thought I’d introduce myself.

Welcome mate

My top tip is when you post questions, offer up your ideas and then people can offer thoughts ............ and when you get asked questions, please provide answers or responses .................

The forum is a 2 way street...................

Welcome to the forum Carl, enjoy the experience and mistakes of others!

 

[CarlV]

Thanks for the welcome guys, I hope I can contribute to questions to even out the one I ask.

I've only been working for myself for a few weeks but I already have a couple of stories you wouldn't believe.

Hi mate welcome to the forum. Me, still learning after forty years.

First job, new spur, coax and TV mount up on the wall, used an electric chaiser straight down no problem, however when I started chipping out it became apparent the two blades of the chaiser cut each side of a central heating pipe set in the wallDead in the middle, what would be the chances of that?? Luckiest man alive for a few minutes and that will not happen again

How do I start a new thread guys, I want to know which socket box cutter is the best to purchase, recommendations etc. I don't want to spend the next ten years chilling little squares

Central heating pipe buried in a brick wall? You sure it wasn't an electrical conduit?
