i apologise for my work

[thekingiam]

The pic shows feeds to a socket and light fitting in a kitchen,I replaced the original wiring and spent hours trying to find another cable route without success. It looks like the kitchen has been extended at some point and the remaining concrete lintel is stopping anything but limmited access from below.

Why apologise ? Draw a nose and a pair of specs on 'em.

yes, i am using this job to join elecsa and although i can seal it all back up and i doubt the assesor will notice the issue. i wanted this job to be spot on.

 

[alarm man]

thats a bit of a snooker,you could notch the beams and fill in,just leaves a bit under the lintel,which you cant do anything about,but may show you done the maximum possible..or chip away plaster and fit a bit of channel under lintel,dont do domestic so just a guess really

RCD protected? If so, then it's probably as safe as 99% of electrics in the Country

concrete beam supporting wall above, wouldn't want to disturb structure above by channeling it. cutting plasterboard then channel and replaster maybe the way though alarm man.
at least its artext so it wont matter how bad my plastering is.

Just remember you're an electrician, not a magician! I have been to jobs where no matter how hard I look, how many different cable routes I go through in my head, without SERIOUS works (i.e. expensive - customer won't agree), there is no easy way forward. Sometimes doing your best is enough.

Not as rough as the stuff that ran down the stair wall in our last house, stuck out 1/2 inch in some places with some very pointy bits. Never staggered down those stairs drunk...

Nothing wrong with that method, easy enough to patch up with a bit of baton and the original cut outs.

Wow lol it was a joke and I don't want to know bout your pointy rough bits either
