Zero to hero bashing

[7671]

There always seems to be a lot of people bashing those that complete a career change later in life by completing some short courses. Today I came across the cabling in the picture whilst completing a rewire and as you can see terrible standards have been around a while and can only presume this work work was completed by a time served god

Of course no one ever used to do electrics unless they were time served. Dont see what your getting at here.

Or the wires were there first and the plumber cut through them and repaired them like that.

Nobody will ever change my opinion that someone who does 4/5 years training will almost without fail be better than someone who does 4/5 weeks. Clearly over time the difference can be narrowed if the Electrical Trainee is someone willing to put the hours in to learn by themselves, however they shouldn't be let loose on jobs without having the proper guidance over a decent length of time - on site.

Of course it's a time severed electrician..

They don't have time to teach people how to wire lighting, joint box method in one of these 5 week courses !

Where was that, under the floor on the landing by any chance ?

 

[buzzlightyear]

A Electrical Trainee has tried to add to it though, nice use of bit of green and yellow sleeving and a couple of connector blocks...

Probably to an acceptable standard at the time it was done.

I wonder which is more dangerous, that, or these, done by a pair of 400v cowboys in recent times?


Guess what's what with 3 phase lighting extension box?


How to rewire a 2 gang d.p. switch?


...and how to make a 3 phase supply go Bang!

 

[sparkdog]

400V nutters.

OP, I can't see how you could possibly know whether it was done by an electrician or it was a DIY job by the householder.

Some Crunchie bars are better not so much noise so you can hear more of the BS being bandied about.
