board change

[GLENNSPARK]

But a ZE not a ZDB

right:
the pic shows me carrying out a Ze to the property....i do this before any board change to confirm there is actually a proper earthing to the property...
now, this being flats after i had confirmed there was a good earth to the building i then got a Zdb at the board before replacing it...
the PFC i put down was the one i got when confirming the Ze in the pic....its going to be higher than the one i get at the board isn`t it...so as far as i`m concerned its covered...
hope this clears up any confusion.
Glenn.

Nice to see some pics in progress, I'm looking on my phone so quite small pics but in pic 2 doing ZE what is your earth lead connected to? It looks like you haven't disconnected the main earth it looks like your testing all the flats earths? Could be wrong though small pics on phone, you look like that guy who won triple jump at the Olympics ( but slightly bigger :love

Looks like you have lost your marbles again lol

I think onions is trying to say your are carrying out a zdb in your photo in your photo it shows all earthing cables to your earthing block, to carry out a true ze there should only be your main earth connected but you know that right lol nice neat job by the way good to see there are still some guys in the trade that take pride in there work

Funky monkey wins the prize for translating my poor explanation. Marbles went a long time ago I think it was during the last pulling the main fuse debate zzzźzzzzzzź

no..the pic shows me carrying out PFC...thats why all the G/Ys are in the block....the other pic i posted shows me doing a Ze at the intake position....
i then went on to get a Zdb at the board .....

No idea Mike but once he started on about picking up skills on street corners the alarm bells started to ring.

This forum makes me laugh out loud at times, Glenn is a fantastic spark and a valued member, we all know he knows his stuff, and yet some here think they can try to spot a tiny error in a sentence here and there and try to make themselves look a better man LMAO, he knows what a ZE is, and he knows how to carry one out, the picture with the ZE written next to it is irrelevant, try posting up a dozen pictures to the site and post without any error LOL, who cares, now if he would have said this is me carrying out ring main r1 and r2 check and his tester stuck into a light fitting and as it was Friday yes we could have had a laugh with it, come on lads stop being silly.

 

[funkymonkeytwo]

I don't think anyone is laughing at him at all and as I said in my earlier post its good to see there are still some tradesmen that do take pride in there work, I think what we are pointing out is his error be it in the photo or miss spelling. Seeing some of glens posts I'm sure he would do the same as I know he is one for the banter too , this forum does puzzle me sometimes, give a little banter you get stick, ask for genuine advise you get google it. Sigh

Don't know how you manage to stand on those steps for any length of time, i've got some and they kill my feet. I have to use steps with treads as opposed to bars. Good pics, looks a nice job.

Dont start talking about ladders with Glenn, he did'nt read the instructions on the side and fell off PMSL :rofl:

Nice tester you've got there Glenn, pity you left it in the back of the gaffers van yesterday and you had to borrow mine this morning. If you break it you pay for it lol. Anything to help out a mate

 

[Paul.M]

My mental picture of Glen before I met him was a bit like this:-



I was'nt far off.

I know you will get your own back Glen
