We criticise the Op for doing this and making a pigs ear of it but look on the bright side, it will be a quick earner for a suitably able person in the local area.

I agree entirely IPF. It just amazes me that this blokes customer has even asked him. The thing that cheeses me off is the fact that this bloke obviously hasn't got a clue what he is about and it could actually end up being dangerous, but they don't seem to care? They just come on here expecting people to bale them out of the hole they have just dug.......What's to be expected if someone gets a builder to sort their electrics out?
No advice should be given, serves 'em right.
Tell it like it is Daz, tell it like it is.....Builder's huh.Subtle as ever Burnsy
True.....but it doesn't have to be a complicated fault to burn a house down.We criticise the Op for doing this and making a pigs ear of it but look on the bright side, it will be a quick earner for a suitably able person in the local area.
You would think though that this day and age people would use the smart phone to take pictures as they go. to help then put it back together, but no, they just jump straight inOn the face of it, it seems a simple task...I can see why someone could think "yeh no problem" but the most common place(s) where people come unstuck is light switches and ceiling roses. There are always more wires than they expect.
Me thinks a spark will be cheaper than test kit .......
Yep. Problem is he'd probably want it explained to him and solved whilst on the phone.....obviously doesn't think it's worth paying for.Phone an Electrician.
James, not being funny mate, but the easy answer is that you obviously have neither the experience, training or kit to undertake this kind of work. How would you feel if you unwittingly left something in a dangerous condition? Just stick to what you know and let others do what they know eh?No, though not a spark to trade I've done jobs like a lot, I would like to know myself as it's confused me as to why 2 lights worked and 2 didn't.
Thought posting here would reveal an easy answer, obviously not!
Domsta72...........why the dumb?True.....but it doesn't have to be a complicated fault to burn a house down.
