All accords what car was kept in the garage, some cars where garbage. (BL)

@littlespark Thought you were being a little disrespectful to the dead there, then realised you probably meant "garage".

Yes… garage, not garbage.

Where they keep the horses.

Hands on hips for fire alarm installers.

I used to be work in this area and I agree! Though I did more fault finding and rectification than installing.
Several large firms used to sub out installations and getting a good job entirely depended on whether the subbies had high personal standards and were willing to go the extra mile while getting paid a sub-optimal rate for it. A rare few did this regardless, but needless to say this was the exception not the rule. The install usually stayed appalling for the first year until the service team went out for first annual inspection and testing, had a hissy fit, and then one of us would get the call to go and "tidy it up a bit" which often meant doing most of it again much to the irritation of the boss of the service side.
My suggestions that it would be better to keep an eye on the original install fell of deaf ears, and I eventually moved to a much smaller firm, a period I look back on with fondness as the guys were brilliant, teamwork at its best, and high standards.

I see them walk in to newly competed buildings, with almost everything done for them, and still leave the place in a mess. To be fair, fire alarm installers are still a few steps above the guys who do intruder alarms. They walk into the same new installation and start work on a spiders web.

And that sheathed cable is connected to a metal clad FCU which is connected to the copper pipe so makes it an accessory point. 411.3.1.1 states this very clearly

If the copper pipe isn't connected to the fcu and isn't an extraneous conductive part and the cable is double insulated, then the pipe isn't an exposed conductive part and wouldn't require bonding.

The less said about fire alarm installers, the better.

Shortest route from A to B. Swing out under trunking lid. Notch conduit boxes. Just whatever gets the job done, tools packed up and on the road home at the earliest possible time.

Don't get me wrong; there are some good guys out there, but the good guys are few and far between. Most turn up on site swaggering like the fourth emergency service, suck air through their teeth and then turn out rougher work than most people would think possible.

The few I have seen didn’t have any teeth

I get the same thought but mine involved kylie minogue.
But each to their own

It's like the old Meat Loaf song - 4 out of 8 ain't bad,
