High tower will flex his newly sergeant major muscles now and have you for swearing lol

 

[shanky887614]

how do I know wether to use the 1mm or 1.5mm i usually go for the 1.5mm so im covered but I wouldnt mind knowing when I can get away with 1ml and when I cant

i believe you can get away with 1ml and still be under the drink drive limit


you aint done 2330. maybe leve one but you have to do cable calc in lvl2/3


obviously you havent done this so should not be touching electrics as you are currently dangerous and know less than the average diyer

 

[lofts]

looks like im going to have to change the way I word my posts as its coming across in a way you guys arent liking. If I knew all the answers I wouldnt bother but seeing as I need you all more then you need me I will have to try and get you on board somehow.

Ill do my best with the next question which will be a genuine dilema may I add that I am either facing at the present time orwill be in the future but that wont be untill the next house now. I think what is needed is some pictures of my work that way I might get some respect and therefore some helpfull replys instead of this bandwagoon woffle that is spouted of 9/10. That way you can either marvel at my work or give me some critisism, I have a feelin know what it will be already but at least I can turn it into constructive critism cant I. Any way good night all thanks for all your help

 

[lofts]

I cant remeber can I ive just dug out all my college work so will be going over it an hr each night and ill see where I am in 2 months. Its been a good year since i last worked as a sparky and a good 2 years since i finished my course. we cant all be geniuses but at least ive got the balls to ask. the problem with you lot is you think your a cut above the rest. really you just as thick as a plumer, plasterer and painter. big deal. if you wanted to be respected for how clever you were you should have done something else really. but then again most of you probably werent bright enough. the waysome of you go on anyone would think you dont **** up and you fell out of your mother a qualified electrician.

Lofty the problem is most of us have given many years, in college and politec. And we have a duty of care to people we work for....now if someone like youself say hey tomorrow im going to start wiring houses, with no qualifications or training this is going to get peoples backs up and put some inocent people in danger.

Now Just for the record, and be honest......did you rewire the Rovers Return....?

 

[GLENNSPARK]

Your good lofty and your helping me complete my "observed status" in my psychology thesis but measured slang,intendance and tell-signs in your script is showing ...sooner or later you'll have to either tell someone or tell us about the fish you were playing...Remember what happened to the colonel in "Apocalypse Now""...the horror...

It just seems like you not getting it, are you?

We are not bloody cut above the rest or geniuses or whatever you going to come up next. But we definitely had the balls and we were bright enough when we started to understand and admit that we were not ready to go unsupervised end install electrical systems in client’s homes, because it’s dangerous and unsafe. I told you before, that safety and well being of our customers is fundamental to as all.

It just seems that you are like a damaged record which is stuck on the same note forever, don’t brag on here that we cut above the rest and that we don’t want to help, as said before we just can only feel sorry for you, because you need someone with you holding your hand and guide all the time. It’s just your attitude towards the safety and other simple things that stops us being sympathetic to you. Just read again your post above and think what we are thinking about you, by knowing you inside out already It just looks from it that this is you who is cut above the rest and aloud to do things what others not allowed, in fact for the post above I would ban you immediately.

Great insult! Unfortunately, I am a cut above the rest and don't mind admitting it.
Such is life....

He just wouldn’t listen, is he?

Lofty- don’t you see that you are the only one who is getting all such bad replies, as long I am using this forum I never came to witness such bad responses to the OP, don’t you think that this is has something to do with you? Don’t you have someone close, who is sane enough to tell you, that what you doing is wrong. Please get a grip...

As per some other members thoughts I think this is a wind-up. Some of the posts are far too well constructed compared to utter drivel in other posts!

 

[Stroppy]

Seriously why is 1mm used for lighting sometimes and 1.5 others.

What I don't understand is how you can ask that when you've apparently learned and passed the 2330 course. Didn't cable calculations come into it? Even if you can't remember how to do one you must have an idea what they are about.

Calculating the cost per metre, maybe

there are 3 levels to 2330

most people start at level 2.

level one is for special people like lofty, the tell tail sign is they struggle to figure out which end of a screwdriver to use.


surely the fool understands that you choose the breaker size depending on the required cable size.

e.g. b16 60898 mcb for a radial.

? Nothing wrong with that i know, but 20A is standard for a radial.

Also, never new that there was a level1 2330 lol you learn something new everyday.

Wonder where he's at...he's normally online by now broadcasting to the world of his daily-disaster-routine.

 

[tazz]

Nah hes stuck on a re wire job in Epson court

 

[Marvo]

would you guys have used a chisel and bolster for this ........

I could have deffo done with another sparky on site to ask me what the hell I was doing that day but at least im learning fast.

seeing as ive never filled before what filler is best for the job......

........I just wondered hat a possible solution would be. Im thinking tape up the cut outs as best i can and then fill it with filler as best I can.

My assesor for the nvq could see I was struggling and said that I could go and work for him as he had a company on the side and had some boys working for him. I was amassed at the offer and took him up on it. He said if I take pictures of everything I do he will help me get round the site diary

.......Ok so the house im in needs an outside light at the front of the house simple enough and this is how I was going to do it.

theres a light in the hall literally as soon as you open the front door there it is above you on the ceiling, its a pendant fitting. I was going to run either 1mm or 1.5mm twin and earth from this down to the switch. the brown would obviously go into the centre fitting (perminent live) (loop in loop out terminal) to the common of the switch then the blue I was going to terminate into the nutral of the rose and then a connector block inside the switch obviously the earth will go from the earth in the pendant to the earth terminal at the switch. then I would run a 1mm or 1.5mm cable to the light with the brown going from l1 to live at the light and neutral from the neutral in the connector block at the switch to the neutral at the light (2d fitting) earth to earth.

Is that how you would do it ?.........

how do I know wether to use the 1mm or 1.5mm

Seriously why is 1mm used for lighting sometimes and 1.5 others.

Lofts, you're using the forum to get blow by blow info on how to do your jobs. I already warned you here about this. You've also been warned here and here.

Effort on that Marvo. Hats off.

Lofts, you naughty boy/girl.

He'll only start a new thread, once he's back from stripping the few inches of 2.5 he started at 8am.
