Is it just me who has a hatred of seeing sockets with the switches "on" and nothing plugged in?
Yes, the amount of wasted electricity leaking out really winds me up, such a waste...

daren't comment on the state of that shower. i'll get reported for dirtybuggerism.
 
Spent most of the day reconnecting swa cables at lighting bollards as none of the armour has been earthed. Pretty straight forward cables plenty of length, the outer casings come off the bollards and the sun is out. Three to go then this, needless to say the circuit now has three less lights on it.Dodgy trade pictures for your amusement! - 1 Million Views! 20190904_134837 - EletriciansForums.net
 
No chance. All the others are bone dry with lots of slack this one looks like it has been underwater.

Same sort of problem...except this one was flattened and then run over umpteen times by drivers parking half on the grass. I was measuring for some sort of replacement until the client decided he didn't want a 20m trench digging for rewiring. Absolutely no spare length and solid through underlying concrete and in pvc tube. Isolated at previous bollard and left as.

Customer with two brick pillars either side of drive entrance. Wants lights (which funnily enough don’t work) on top of each pillar replaced. There’s brick lights with junction boxes and T&E at the base of each pillar. See pic :rolleyes: I believe the main feed from the house is SWA so hoping with a bit of digging I can find the end but suspect the loop to the other pillar is just buried T&E so they may have two hopes of me sorting it without disturbing their nice block paved drive.Dodgy trade pictures for your amusement! - 1 Million Views! 4BA5E619-714D-4C2F-88D9-9116F740CEB8 - EletriciansForums.net

Mean while at the top of the pillar we have a silver birch well and truly rooted into the light :rolleyes:
