Great work Nick! Get some PV ultra for them DC runs up to the loft! More protection and cable is labelled as live DC! One cable to run instead of 4 too!

Gadgets for the sake of gadgets, wait till the control modules go down and you are without power and a sparky cannot literally fix it on a call out, at least with standard electrics more often than not a spark will have something to get you back up and running within an hour or so, not with a control module, that will have to either be ordered or sent away for repair.

Pricing per point can work out pretty well. I used to charge the same for a down light as a socket outlet. Like you say, the time measuring out downlights to avoid joists and still make them equidistant and look as sensible as possible can take a very long time - or every one may go exactly where you first plan them to. lave and plaster ceilings can make them even more of a git. Cooker points can vary so much. You might have the CU only a few meters away - or it may be the other side of the house. Those I used to price on a case by case basis. If you can wire all downstairs sockets from under the ground floor its a doddle, but if you need to chase every one from above it takes probably 4 x longer and use far more cable. If its an occupied property and floors all need to go back down every day that makes a huge difference. If you need to leave the current installation fully functional while you chase and wire for the new one, that makes a huge difference too. I think I need to charge far more for extractors cored through walls! It can be a heck of a faff even with a decent core drill, then getting up a ladder outside fitting a vent is grief too depending on the height. Some jobs, even a rewire (especially occupied) I just used to guess by looking at the place and establishing some likely cable routes.

2 month rewire

11:00 yes that is indeed a vacuum. However something I never thought would happen, I saw a Henry Hoover in the US! I didn't know they could migrate that far!

Another great video Nick

You really should get another apprentice.

Actually I think you meant 4 x rows and 5 x columns = 20 panels 🤩

Morning Mike! 73 M6YRU Nice 2 n 70 Yagi on mast with a yaesu 950... I run an old icom 706mk2g You'll be set up nice when you don't have power, and, even if the solar system fails you then you can go back to your big generator

NICK STOP IT , use the hammer please for knocking rawplugs in pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Don’t worry about editing out your made up words and sentences. Most of us speak bundish by now

Is the induction thing because of nearby lightning strikes killing inverters? That would make more sense than some things ive heard

Re: newbuild. the panels are built in, by a crosseyed twit who has to do 12 a day

Mike seems really on board. Customers like him are gold. Hope he kept the tea flowing And Mike, if you're reading this, you're getting premium service.

Feed the fish… it’s like an efix spot the phrase 😉👍🏻

You happen to know what model that old MEM board is? I'm curious, I'd like to see if i can obtain one for my lil collection

Rafters not juicing

Nice one Nick

Why cover the serial number?

your adhd/ocd is perfectionism i have the same problem 🤦‍♂️ where everthing has to be uniform , inorder & neat 😮‍💨 and yes it does take slightly longer but the finish result is allways 🤩💯

one of the advantages of following the industry and insurance industry fire guidelines of not fitting DC isolators is that you don't need to find matching ones ;) Another advantages is that you don't need to pay for them or wire them! It's a win win win! Edit: to be fair, I haven't checked if the Ecoflow has a built in DC isolator like most inverters have. Entirely possible it doesn't.

You don't need to explain yourself Nick. Crack on, you're doing a grand job.

Looks like Mike is a radio amateur - say QRZ to him de F1VFL!

I still can't believe that houses in England don't have OSB or sarking board under the roof tiles and just tar paper

An interested but chill customer is a gem.

I never charge friends or family but if they want to gift me something then I don't grumble or disrespect them by refusing.

If you have a safety lanyard on that meter please use it . If something wallops your meter when just on magnets and it falls and breaks what a shame..

I see some spark in 50 years time installing a fusion-boiler in that house and marvelling at the high standards that electricians of today worked to. Unfortunately this seems more and more the exception. I might have run that cluster of cables in the corner of the toilet room in the next-door room in 4x2 trunking in the corner and then across, under the fuse-board. Superb work!

Hi @NBundyElectrical, I have a question mate. Is I have two ovens (as in 2x full size ovens) going in + a 4 ring ceramic hob. Can all three be wired into the same oven point on the wall? Or is there too much demand for the fuse on the fuse board?

What if they refuse you access to the property to do that

Honestly 1250$ is not that bad for the amount of organization you just added. Time is money.

My gosh, as an American electrician, When you started showing your stuffings, I legit could not follow. You have some wild names for stuff 😂

never use can and lamp nick, light output from fixed L.E.D is much better, Collingwood the Only fittings I'll use

That cable is the property of the customer not for you to take and make money from.

Hi Nick are we going to see your testing bag arrive soon

Cheers for the video 👍

A sparky using a brush lol

Ime shocked that Hultifer haven’t sent you a selection of suitable hammering devices 🤣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I bet that lamp was a gas lamp originally where the cable goes though the middle it would have been a gas pipe

The commitment to the alternate hammers, bravo

Should that outside lamp post be on a TT supply? If the PEN conductor went down would the metal post not become live?

Good video. Cheers

Great video as always Nick. Couldn’t find the tools you used for those Rawl plugs on ITS can you post a link, ta. Also what’s the earthing arrangement for the property? If it’s PME what are your thoughts on diverted neutrals and the Victorian lamp? Cheers. 🤘🏻

Where are your gloves

Good stuff Nick. Those connector blocks are what's been used in Australia for yonks, used in junction boxes, and so on. Wagos are being used too.

Certainly could of been candle, but looks more gas to me.

Lost it when you used the old dropdown as a hammer :)

That lanton was probably installed by Thomas Maggy back in the day the Artisan gass company would come round to light the candle they enjoyed a young fellow called Jordan

In networking terms UK call it a Router (as in route 66) whereas the Yanks call it a rought-er. I think the same apply to the tools also. Data and Darta, sam thing. USA like to spread exrta voules in their interpretation of English. So anyhow, let's give them some leaway as they just got the orange Tango man for a president.

12:15 oh so that's how you do wall plugs it makes so much more sense now! That's why I failed at that miserably (and has nothing to do with the harbor freight box of anchors that said for concrete when they really weren't).
