all my board changes look to at least the same standard as here....
its just that as i`m known for giving silly`s some stick in here i was invited to send a few pics in of my own standards...
as for the hard hat...i dont know where thats gone....i`l have to get another...
anyway, there were only 4 finals in there.....so its not getting conjested ...but i find generally its better to deal with the phases first then the CPCs and finaly you can start laying in the neutrals....this keeps it looking tidy....

well a point i wanted to make of this was to always IR test finals first before introducing earth leakage devices into the mix...and of course always between neutrals....but as there was only one lighting circuit......
its usually shared on the upstairs landing point...but not always.....

see i didn`t know until this morning what the existing board was like and how many circuits there were...i thought it was a 6 way...until i got in there and saw it of course....
never mind....

For some reason i always pictured you as a thin wiry guy... lol!! I bet most picture me similar to your build, and probably bald too. How mistaken they would all be!! lol!!

Nice job Glenn, though it would have been better to have kept the bared conductor of the terminated cables to a minimum on the Neutral bar!!
