Interesting video, seen wings like this a few times. I probably would have used a dual knockout box myself if I was doing that job. Fused spur for the heater, double socket outlet as a bonus! Cut the cable between the two. Would have saved the cable pulling

[@chris220480]

I wish I’d had someone like you guiding me on my first time. James is a lucky boy!

[@thedarkweeally]

James is a lucky boy - Chris didn't have to use the lube so I'm sure James thanks him for it...

[@xturn3r5x34]

Sat here at night watching this and it’s dawned on me that I’m just watching lads do the same sort of work I’ll be doing in a few hours 😂 brilliant but it is interesting and entertaining 👍

[@ChernoBueno]

CJR this is the best channel keep up with the content I love your humour, I love your proper work & not some stupid rushed work, it’s proper work, keep it up 👍

[@Chatterisdotbiz]

Nice job getting the cable pulled in, when you first started and James was pulling I had visions of the chandelier scene from only fools and horses with one of the other cables being dragged out. Hope you removed the new back box and went a bit deeper for a flush finish rather than fill the gap which will look naff.

Geez you gotta get some racking in that van, looks like a teenagers bedroom

gonna be a crusty sock and a copy of Razzle somewhere in there....

That new socket needed the top surface of the block scraped away with a scutching hammer, as the knock box was proud of the plasterboard. No need for decorators mate or caulking 😀

We in the Netherlands put conduit in the walls and ceilings. Makes this so much easier.

[@jonathaneastwood2927]

And more expensive!

[@robholland5925]

@@jonathaneastwood2927 that’s true but if you ever have to change wires for any reason. You just open the switch or outlet and pull new. And no need to reopen the wall or ceiling. Far less impact.

[@kw1984]

Love the fact that you have (at the tine of writing) 212k subcribers, 2k more than Artisan with all the money they must pump into videos whereas you're still doing the same type of video you was doing years ago

[@markpunt9638]

Goodness - in the old days, we would just have clipped that Flex to the top of the skirting board.

[@สมบัติสตีเวนสัน-น6ษ]

I think if you had enough slack to cut the cable ,there was no point in replacing it,or is it just me

[@simaesthesia]

Yet another masterclass in how to fix somebody else's c*ck ups! Great video as always mate.

[@carguillo1]

Chirs you look more like Gordon Ramsay every day😂

[@rickterry8148]

Ha Ha, I spent 15 min watching two blokes pull a cable thru a wall, great. You can get more than 4 cables into the back of a socket, I am sure you can, no need to bend the wire back on itself, its one of those ring lolipop radial star configs......... 🙂 Nice job on the CU.

[@StevenSmith-du4rr]

Powered by Milwauke and lubed with KY.

[@andysims4906]

You were lucky the cable was in capping . Lots of cowboys don’t use capping or tube

[@Cjrelectrical]

Capping does make it easier I must admit when adding additional points. Needed behind dot and dab ? Not really but great to find on the day.

[@robertwilliams7222]

0.27 r1&r2 on the shower circuit is really high! It looks like a 10mm. That cable must be 40-50 metres long🤔

[@T-Wrex1864]

@@Tokaisho1yeah true but youtube these days if it was a diy job would have got them close with a 45degree angle and a coping saw. I think most people assume a corner joint is just two 45 degree angles put together in the corner

[@donivanpotter2762]

Ive got a dirty mind. Told one of my friends listen to comments two of our friends were having. Imagine they're talkin about sex instead of animation and engineering. So imagine a woman is telling a guy what to do from 10:46 to about 13:00. Being serious now: thanks for the video about wiring. Did learn some information on electrical wiring in a home.

[@kennethausten]

I was called out to a problem and found a new extension had been wired out. Customer had plugged in a 3kw fan heater. Within minutes smoke appeared from the socket. I discovered brand new installation by the builders of the extension used , wait for it. Twin bell wire for the 13a sockets. Was connected to the lighting circuit. No earth nothing. Worst I have ever seen. I disconnected immediately and advised them to contact the builder.

[@ianbulgin138]

Good job boys........but we are missing face mask and gloves.

[@ChristmasCrustacean1]

[@shiamjad]

I can only find either new build work or house maintencance work as an electrician (while maintenance is only limited to socket/switch/light/extractor fans replacement). can any one guide me how to find work with electrician /company like Chrs is doing.

[@mrsandman1416]

Why is earth sleeving so important. Surely if the live comes loose it has more chance of touching the earth wire without sleeve and therefore tripping the board making the situation safe?

The only way I'd EVER allow the Builder to do the Wiring is if the one doing the work is a Licensed Electrician... That by the way, is the only way the Builder COULD do the work without getting absolutely NUKED by the City Code Enforcement Officer here in Ontario Canada... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣
