That's what you get when you use a non-compliant BS plug!!!

Still working and you can see where it was plugged in. Ten out of ten for the tiling done free of charge.View attachment 83662View attachment 83663

A load of old council flats in Cambridge were done like this, ended up just smashing the old sockets off with a hammer in the end.

It's in a village hall done free by one of the residents. They tiled around all the accessories then grouted them in and that isn't the worst parts.

Some people just don't care, and I bet he gets a mention in the village news letter about what a good job they did. ?

It is our village hall and we used to do all the testing foc but not anymore. The money they waste on needless back slapping things is ridiculous.

They had a grant to update to LED lighting in which some rogue company was used. The EXIT emergencies in the hall had switches to put them on when the hall was in use, these were either disconnected or connected up wrong. Two test facilities in other areas were rendered useless so spent most of the afternoon reinstating it all.

It’s a pretty neat job too with gromits.

why aren't these idiots allowed to play with gas. if they were, it would solve some of the overpopulation that covid 19 has missed.

Unfortunately things usually go wrong after they've left and some other poor sod ends up with the results...

Wow, the worst thing is the incompetent person who last looked at it thought it was good enough to put there sticker on it in case there was ever a need to call there emergency number!

You worked for them FOC, then they hand grant funded work to someone else and ask you to sort out the problems?

Going to be the most satisfying of invoices to draw up.

Don't know what the score was the committees change like the wind but I believe the contractors used were somehow bound into the grant, village life is a fickle thing.

 

[JosephandAmber]

Not only was this RCBO upside down, the busbar had been bent to make it fit.

 

[stevethesparks]

And I thought all the MEM's were upside down

 

[ipf]

^^^^ That needs resetting to 'YES'.

A picture so good you posted it twice, Mike.. it’s also on the COVID lite thread.

 

[Mike Johnson]

It's early for me, I am not fully awake yet, but it is a good photo, shows its not just electricians that have problems, but would this have been done by a plumber or builder? ?

Bloomin' Australian sparkies coming over here and taking our work

How difficult is it to put an MCB up the blooming right way...

See it it so often these days upside down breakers or mix n match breakers/rcbos

 

[littlespark]

Proteus breakers in a proteus board. How could they put them upside down? They fit fine the right way up.

and I’ll say it before anyone else does.

Who installs a proteus board anyway??

Agreed... it also helps if you use the plates with angled edges... so that it's dovetailed in !

The house we live in has a Proteus board , the original split load board it was built with. At some stage some numpty added a 16a Hager MCB which sets my OCD off when ever I look at it. Thankfully it is in a cupboard so I only have to look at it once in a blue moon.
