Poor work

[uksparks]

Hi,

To cut a long storey short, I saw another electrician do this, new sub meter.

they were both middle aged and he drove a brand spanking new VW transporter, a nice black one so obvious making the money, but anyway, they looked like they had been doing it years, they also did the rewire on this building.

abyway my point is I stood there watching them and they didn't realise I was also in the trade....

they aldo butchered big holes in the ceiling which were totally unnecessary, they could have been a lot smaller, this is in the front room of a new salon that's about to open next week and now it's got some holes to fix!

R.a.f.....

 

[uksparks]

What's that mean?

Been there. "Why do my dimable LEDs make a buzzing noise?" Which dimmer have you installed? "You know, a normal one"

15+ years in the trade, new vw van, arghhhhh!

 

[uksparks]

What's it got to do with dimmable LEDs?

Tut tut, no attempt to step them tails what so ever, as for the hole's in the ceiling. gezzz

Rough As F***

Step the tails?

 

[uksparks]

They didn't seem to care at all, I could have got all those cables through a hole a third of the size of one of them!

And the termination is just poor to diabolical really, it's not good.

Rough As F***

Ah ok I didn't think of that!

 

[7029 dave]

Step the tails?

In other words, outer insulation up to the meter.

General lack of knowledge and no how, should have seen the rest of his site.

 

[uksparks]

They were probably too thick and incapable of doing a good job.

Am I missing something? What you on about?

I saw that and thought 0 out of 10. But then I saw the zip ties, got to be worth 1 point.

Ah, I've only ever known that as stripping the cable to the correct length, not hear stripping a cable called stepping before.

 

[uksparks]

Yeah that's a new one on me

Well, that's what we call it on metering division.

Sometimes it's just easier to use your 12 gauge to make the holes than start fiddling around with finding drill bits.
