Trade pics for your enjoyment.

It is often said on here we criticise others work without having the conviction to show our own work. We have Dodgy Trade Pics For Your Enjoyment so let's show the other side. No job too small or to big, before or after let's see 'em. I can change the header if someone can think of a better one. I shall start the ball rolling with this considerable board change I did today

'Hall of Dayum that's some sexy work?

not bad for a southerner.

You wound me sir! 3ould be interesting to see works and (purely from a trainee pov) why csbles were routed in a certain way or what have you. One person's fugly is another man's prize wife

 

[telectrix]

gimme half of what you've had.

I'm calling BS, more like Scouse tight-arse underestimating how much cable is required

 

[Strima]

A quick tidy up at home for a change, only took me eight years to get round to it.

cables were already in this was a board change.

I do like to use garage type DBs as a JB for switch wires too, got one to do tomorrow funnily enough so I'll get a picture, bet I can make it look nicer that Westwards.

Much better but I'm not too keen on the curly tails from the new isolator.

Bend radius was a bit tight but it gives me somewhere to hang up wet clothes...

i like the pigtails.

 

[Barry123]

i like this idea seems wholesome.

Plus it has the bonus, you will only receive positive feedback

More like a robbin scouser seeing how much he could snip off for weighsies.

Been replacing some lighting for led lately. Not much to show I'm afraid but the finished job made the customer happy.

 

[NDG Elecs]

Not wholly electrical as am also a virtuoso Kevin the kitchen fitter too! All in fitted around 30 spots, new board, new circuits times five. The extractor was a Neff jobby with a worm drive motor that silently comes up out of the worktop. Currently on a rewire where they are spending £800 on socket fronts alone. I need to start charging more....!

 

[Toneyz]

Ok as Westy was brave enough here is a sports hall to sport England spec we did as part of a school extension. We had to mark out to avoid ceiling radiant heating panels and acoustic panels. Lighting, window openers and fire alarm.

Thanks for the likes, it means a lot from your respected peers Pete will tell you best thing I did was leave my old company and do this type of work.

 

[westward10]

That rear left light is lower than the others

You need to book an appointment at Specsavers Westy.

 

[pirate]

NDG,did you use the jobby from the extractor to plaster the ceiling above?

(Es una broma!)

 

[Bellendian]

Before and after, and yes, I know a couple of the conduits down to light switch and socket aren't plumb, but I used the old PVC trunk as a template....won't do that again, winds me up everytime I look at it!

 

[Lister1987]

i like pigtails.

So do I, gives you something to hang on to

 

[Sintra]

Few pics from a recent job.

You mean like a scissor lift !! Wouldn't want to give it a try at £1700 for the extractor !

The lower ceiling is all new boards, for some reason the owner of the property didn't paint that bit, not sure why.

Little picture of a small LewedenRCBO board I did the other day, on a top floor flat.

The 16mm SWA is glanded in a 4x4 metal enclosure which is recessed behind the DB, which has a fly lead to my earth bar.
Plastic water and gas main.

The board is mounted on 12mm ply as the builders haven't plastered it yet !( i know their choice)

Another pic of a Wylex DB I did last year.

 

[Dave OCD]

Nothing as lavish as the spectacular Sintra job but here's my little effort from today, a nice little job wiring out a new [replacement] detached garage. We reused the existing 10mm 2 core SWA supply and the 6mm earth in the board may not have been that colour originally, didn't have any in the van so you sometimes have to improvise...

Nice job nothing wrong with the earth. It looks a substantial garage is it designed for building a dormer office ect above at a later date?

 

[Dave OCD]

I don't think there's any intention to build above it Anthony, it's a chap aged 71 who's always wanted a big garage,his wife said he'll be out there a lot pottering about and she'll have a bit of peace. A really nice couple and they were delighted with the job.

 

[westward10]

Those black line conductors on the Wagos need red sleeving

 

[Dave OCD]

They have brown,as do the grey cores ! Brand new 3 core and earths, 1 to each 2 way switch the switched live/neutral to the lights goes back to the CU as well, it was the most economical way to wire it.

 

[westward10]

Doh, I thought they were red and black cables. I jointed an old swa to new T&E today. Sleeved the blue of the swa black and connected to the blue of the new cable

 

[telectrix]

don't you mean brown? or is it pink now, or purple, ?

It was looking at the engineered joists.

 

[Dave OCD]

Yes I'm not sure why they were used, handy for the lighting wiring though as I ran the cables above the lower timber, nicely hidden.
