I never knew you had to be a contortionist to be a sparky....

Loft space. I can see where I HAVE to get to to. Do I ...

(a) Crawl on my (ever extensive) belly over to the point with barely 3 inches of roof rafters above my head, most of which have rusty tile nails sticking through?
(b) Strike a yoga pose and manouver myself into the negligible gap around the side of the water tank with my knee in my mouth?, or
(c) Check my personal insurance policy, knock the whole ceiling down from the room below so I can get to the 'lectrics, and apologise to the customer?

This isn't an exam question by the way.

Kevlar overalls or hire a small thin person to act as a loft snake...

d) walk away from job because that 40 quid job for adding a lighting point ain't worth it

Good question this one............. I'd check through some of the threads on here I'm sure I've read somewhere that there are many, many I mean loads of people who are looking for some experience and they also would work for nothing I mean nothing they may even pay you, which would make the job more attractive and this seems just the sort of job some would love to have a stab at, I'd just shout the instructions from the hatch or better still a pair of walkie talkies.

 

[telectrix]

and who gets the bill for the new ceiling after mr. no experience puts his size 10's through it?

If you could persuade her into it, she is that skinny I reckon you could use her as a draw rod, let alone a loft monkey.

 

[Adam W]

(a) sounds like the best option to me, provided you can't just fish it through; I dunno I haven't seen the job.

 

[GLENNSPARK]

Keira Knightly's pretty skinny in'she?

yeah....and youd get a `knicker flash` as she was stearing herself through all the little spaces you sent her into....
it would be pointless standing on ladders to look down her top though....

 

[plugsandsparks]

Always used a small child for jobs like that, like the old days, sadly they have all grown up and even bigger than me now. Its even worse now as you get older and the eyesight fades as you end up so close to the job you cannot see without reading glasses and 1500lux of torch power.

 

[telectrix]

be a bit like sighting the black ball down a cue rest.

 

[GLENNSPARK]

`bee stings` springs to mind here Tel....
