Done a commercial refit, I got lumbered with fitting out floor boxes and relamping. I had to cut out the floor tiles and install 300 floor boxes and relamp 600 4ft flouros. I've never stripped so much swa!!! And to make it worse, I didn't even get a look in on any of the scrap. Never again will I work for a mate of a mate...

PAT Testing - Mind numbing especially in offices crawling round unplugging god knows what from inaccessible sockets - Hate it !
 
Re: Th most boaring job going??

I was thinking of doing the C&G PAT qual due to popular request, is it worth it?
To stick to the thread, terminating data cabling in racks gets my goat

i dont know which are worse the ball ache jobs or the boring ones. oh yeh that`s right a ball ache boring :D

Doing a PIR and knowing full well all the crappy jobs and faults your finding will be down to you to fix, which are inevitably boring . Other than that adding single sockets/lights etc in domestic premises, mind numbing stuff thats no challenge :D

PAT testing 5000 items in a room with no windows brain dead work
That hurt just reading it fella!!! When did they release you from the looney bin? I'd have ended up as a window licking dribbling spastic half way though that lot. LOL. I'll tell you what fella, you're an immortal now amongst us mere mortals. Did you do it all on your own or bring in help? Also if you done that on your lonesome; then how long did it take you? I bet your missus hated you whilst you were on that job....

Making up LV downlight's. I hate it! Espescially the Robus range where you have too unscrew the cordgrip, extend the transformer cable and terminate and then put the bulb in.

Some of your job's sound alot worse though lol
