[@markyd2633]

Nice one TLC done an order last week and was very happy to see the JCC's in stock

[@Sparks1Plumbers0]

Mate... you dissed his bird. It's the modern way now. Hence, Chris... to the loft 😂

[@Gordy58]

Nice Chris putting heat on James over the bill, I do agree with you but you're still heading to the loft😂😂

[@HappilyHomicidalHooligan]

I'm not sure what UK Code requires, but here in Ontario, some form of wire protection MUST be installed in every opening a wire passes through into a box...usually a wire clamp of some form is installed as part of the box [usually non-commercial device (Receptacle or Switch) box] or a screw in wire clamp (it's threads are inserted through the knock-out hole then a starnut is screwed onto the threads clamping the wire clamp to the frame of the box)... The Electrical Inspectors tend to get EXTREMELY testy with a person that ails to secure the wires at the box entry in a manner that also prevents the insulation getting cut by the thin metal of the box...and when the Inspector gets Testy with you, not only do they tend to yell at you, they also tend to issue you a nasty Fine for Violating the CEC and tells you to "Pull it all apart and DO IT RIGHT THIS TIME FOR FRAGS SAKE!!!"* 😄😁😆😅😂🤣 * That's a direct quote from an Irritated Inspector that I overheard in a store being renovated that I was shopping in - only half the store was being worked on and the plastic dust barrier was clear so the customers could stand and watch them work if we were curious, that's why I knew it was an Electrical Inspector ripping an Electrician a New Waste Disposal Orifice and he deserved the chewing out...I could see he'd forgotten several conduit starnuts and hadn't grounded/earthed the metallic conduit properly...

[@JohnMyer999]

Yes they have them in Cardiff branch 👍

[@Dog1eg]

Nice work.... James Loft

[@HappilyHomicidalHooligan]

If the oil light comes on when you park on a slope, check the oil level, it might be just low enough that the slope uncovers the low oil sensor in the pan...

[@adriansmith8213]

That hoover segway 😂

[@Sparks1Plumbers0]

Oh.... 'that' was a hoover 😮. Very quiet and looked super compact, these modern plumbers tools eh! 😂

[@brettuk]

[@paulrichards3742]

[@the.jentleman]

Chris in loft. ;-)

[@supersparks9466]

Only muppets don’t fit grommets

[@Rickymcdd]

I would check for horses round the back.

[@lewistempleman9752]

as electricians we have a reputation to maintain as strong providers, should have paid for the dinner

[@T-Wrex1864]

I would have bought her a drink for driving. Both of you in the loft!

[@tomlowe4156]

I’d rather have a continuous ring final circuit on all conductors than an earth to the back box when it’s earthed through the lugs anyway.

[@Cjrelectrical]

Loop was never cut

[@jamespetre]

Was the bill split 50/50? Did James contribute to fuel or pay for parking if applicable? I asked Alexa to flip a coin and so Chris in the loft.

[@patrickkelley3408]

Hi, on your cat6 do you use configuration A or B ? thanks !

[@sergiofernandez3725]

B is the Norm in the UK

[@barrygroves2046]

Chris in loft.

[@nochance6099]

it has to be Chris this time, I know that house and there is many ghosts in the attic!!

[@tonipeters4543]

Sorry James, it has to be Chris in the loft.

[@samparsons5580]

Chris 😂

[@pops6638]

If you put James up there, out of sight, he’ll just sit there, on his phone! Whoever is driving, never pays, in my book.

[@LoftechUK]

I would pay the full bill. Regardless it’s the man’s thing. But I am 55.

[@HW55]

If your oil light comes on when the van is on a slope, you need oil !

[@Cjrelectrical]

I checked it on a flat it was perfect level

[@jgrana587]

Pay for the none alcoholic drinks and split the food bill That's equally

[@davec1410]

It's not looking good for you, Chris James, for getting in the loft. Also, James should pay for the friend 😂

[@kyester123]

Pay the bill, get to feel

[@Rickymcdd]

I'm at two minds on grommets, yes they will protect the cable from sharp edges if the cable is rubbing against the steel, But I'm also aware that once the switch or socket is fitted there not much chance of cables moving in the back of the box. I've always fitted grommets because that the way I was taught. Not sure if the regs cover it, think its Advisable but if the cable sheath remains intact there not needed. tbh metal boxes not got super sharp edge and you would really need to work at cut the sheath.

[@davidwhitehead6150]

They’re definitely a requirement in terms of Regs, particularly going back to metal DBs as well. Plenty of tripping or short-circuit faults I’ve found have been down to lack of grommets in back boxes. You think they’re not moving but over the years slight house movements, decorators loosening, switches being renewed etc and it doesn’t take much to cut through inner insulation…which is often what you find coming through the hole rather than sheath! Makes sense.

[@Rickymcdd]

@@davidwhitehead6150 I hated the plastic DB never understood why they let them in, back in the old day they where all metal.

[@jan-dr1xl]

back in the day they were wood, ,and unlike many of the modern boards you can still get replacement mcb's for em

[@mikeedwards7173]

Chris.

[@paulhammond7489]

[@owencrawford8416]

[@supersparks9466]

They want equality so split the bill,they can’t have it both ways.

[@paulrobinson9944]

James

[@therealdojj]

If she wants to pay the bill she can pay the bill Equality works both ways 🤣

[@RobinHarris-nf4yv]
