EP1- I NO LONGER WORK FOR TOM NAGY AND MY FIRST JOB!

[@cjselectrical]

Good for you mate. I've been self employed since 2016 and haven't looked back - well done for taking the plunge.

[@bramleymoore64]

You should remember to put a drip loop on your cable before it enters the building mate, rain water will run in via that horizontal cable entry. 👍

[@matt3642]

Obviously we are all gutted there will not be anymore of you Tom and the other lads funny videos on Tom's channel but looking forward to more content from you and hope you become as big as Tom!! All the best bud

[@simolatham03]

The cable run could be a bit more discrete, like running inline with the drain pipe and near the ground. Same with the spur socket left hand entry down the unpainted bricks and along the ground and back up to spur inside. The continuing wire is a great option considering its concrete flagging.

Pointless comment we all do things differently

Cleats upside down always hang on screws

Best of luck James! You have our full support - C.K Tools team

Thank you very much!!

All the best wgat happensd to toms videos how do u get yr work all the best

sort the man a bag out? haha

[@Obsidianiron]

What's the story with Nagy the industrial unit is on Rightmove up for rent and the vans have had the signwriting removed so has the unit, he's gone under come spill the beans.

[@nw5835]

May I ask how you know all that, I'm not disputing what you say, just curious how you know.

[@oal260]

@@nw5835 There are some posts in Tom channel from a user that went by the unit. Also it seems that the unit is for rent on that website mentioned. I guess someone will need to know the exact area to look for...

[@Paul-XCIV2]

There is an update on his instagram account.

[@scotsdunc]

@@oal260 i liked tom but nvr thought he would last, too much hilarity and wasting money on an image & stuff he just didnt need, hate to think how much money he's thrown at the business in 3 or 4 years, and of course covid is the last thing any business needed. Wish him well whatever the future holds though

[@forbsie1888]

@@scotsdunc If you watched tom's latest video you would see the owner of the unit doubled the rent, just because she can. So Tom, as well as a few others on the same street are moving out.

[@robertjosephmurphyii4947]

Good luck to you on your new venture, it was awesome watching you with Tom, can't wait to see what you show us on your own channel.

[@CurtainFlapper]

Well done going it alone, wishing you all the best Jimbo, I hope you've took your wallace's with you aswell, not just the gromits

[@metrotechguru5863]

The best of luck to you James. Looking forward to seeing your future videos.

[@Cjrelectrical]

All the best.

[@jimbotheelectrician3819]

Thanks Chris 👍🏻

[@pbarnfield]

Great first video, good to see you making a go of it yourself. I'm sure you'll smash it and become the valleys number one sparky!

[@jimbotheelectrician3819]

Haha thank you

[@NivagSwerdna]

Good Luck! Armoured cable would have been better where potentially exposed to physical damage though?

[@carlton683]

Hi there I noticed a adapter in your wera tool on your ladder what is it please

[@IsThisAvailable550]

When cable running across two different surfaces (e.g. from the wall across the catenary wire) it's good practice to leave a small loop in the wire for repairs or adjustment.

[@matts490]

And a drip loop before entering a building

[@stewpot001]

All the best in your new venture !! Pleasure watching you before . Will be a pleasure watching you now!!

[@jimbotheelectrician3819]

Thank you very much!

[@AE-mu1jc]

4:00 The steel wire should be strong from one side to another but the metal thing at left in pic should have every huck 50% inside only, not 100% same at your Demonstration. So you can level it better for stronger or less. Same with the cable, let it little bit free hanging too. Best wishes in your new own business!

[@joncoop2873]

@ Jimbo The Electrician Always drill from outside to inside so you don't blow out the stucco/finish on the outside of the building!!! Or use a very small drill bit as a pilot hole if you have to then use a larger bit and go outside to inside...

[@matthetheridge4965]

All the best kid, I did the same 12 years ago and still going strong 💪🏻 Best decision I ever made 👍🏻

[@jimbotheelectrician3819]

Thank you!

[@SeanMMA9]

All the best bud. Loved watching you on toms channel can’t wait to see more of your own content 👍🏻👍🏻

[@jimbotheelectrician3819]

Thanks for coming

[@oldwelshgit]

wishing you well on your new enterprise, its hard working here in Wales, customers are less willing to part with large lumps of money and listening to the rain before i set off it feels like everything is against you.. but not having to answer to anyone.. worth it..

[@madgebishop5409]

Is Tom moving with you? Lol his unit is up on Rightmove so guessing he's going somewhere...

[@rapidsendit]

Situation seems a little weird with Tom's channel and you starting a new one up? I am all for good content but you two made some of the best yet.

[@lawolsten]

What do you mean? People leave employment everyday? People also go self employed everyday? Intrigued as to what you think is 'weird'

[@rapidsendit]

@@lawolsten - For James to leave and Tom to close up shop in the unit / no content. Seems like there was more to the story.

[@lawolsten]

@@rapidsendit I wasn't aware of Tom closing his unit? Where did you hear this? The lack of content is justified when building your business, it'll be up and down regarding to volume of content I'm sure.

[@rapidsendit]

@@lawolsten It was rumoured on Tom's channel and then confirmed by Tom himself on Instagram. I wish James all the best of course, I was just gutted as i'm sure others were to hear this news because the content was superb!

[@Jason.23.]

How is it weird tom explained on his Instagram why he got rid of the unit and why james left

[@peterconnolly4608]

God bless the working hands that still want to work ,

[@johnyoung267]

Great Job, Great Video, Well Done

[@BryanStearn]

Well done on a Great video and I wish you the best of luck on starting out on your new adventure. I am a mature student starting out too, sxo love watching All the good electrical fock on here. thanks and will keep Watching.

[@alexscott6031]

Don't know how it works on render...but on brickwork as you're drilling out from inside if you turn off hammer setting as you get close you'll stop blowing off the brick face. Might work for render too.

[@cm0916]

All the best in your new venture ! looking forward to your upcoming videos. Im a sparkie working for a company just now but thinking of going self employed,it would be good to see video content of, some of the main processes you have to go through when starting up on your own

[@jsecret9459]

Looks like you've gone back to Wales and took Tom's drills and jacket with ypu, plus all the training courses as well?

[@zacherynuk842]

18 years since going solo. Bravest and best thing I did. Have a crew now and my own manager lol. So I don't even have to make the hard decisions! Well done lad.

[@Jay369]

To avoid the brick pop: estimate the thickness of the wall and turn the hammer action off on the drill just before you punch through. (Easier said than done, but gets easier with time and practice)

[@deepmystic5850]

Another way is using anchors and resin Best way on old Victorian properties

[@EfronJoseph]

Well good luck 🍀 I am sure you will do great.

[@JJ-zg1hh]

All the best with your new venture.

I've subscribed, looking forward to your content, I'm still a Nagy fan.

[@LordClunk]

Glad you started your own channel. Good luck

[@CoulterTravel]

Good video, well made. Little tip, don’t rely on those little covers that come with the outdoor sockets to stop water ingress through screw holes. They’re dog shit. Either silicone the top or over the holes them self. And drill a small drainage hole in the bottom. I’ve learnt the headway! Water gets in the quick and fills up quicker.

[@jim9520]

Good seeing you again. I wish you all the success in the world. I love you sense of humor.

[@brendanmichaelwelsh6260]

You've got the drive mate, You'll go far ! I'll enjoy watching you from Australia !

Good luck bud

[@iheggis86]

Nice to see the camera guy moved with you 😂 Good luck with the new venture 👍

[@bobx2387]

Just picked up your new venture after Tom. Best of luck.... you can do it. Small tip, but am sure you know this.. Keep you work space clean and never leave any trace of you being there except your workmanship, be punctual, don't swear (even on your own) and you will be talked about in the best way. When I first went out on my own I had a guy who said all these things to me and have never had to advertise (started 1987) and now retiring. But I am decorator and maintenance and have seen sparkys come and go as they felt that someone else should tidy behind them. Go for it. Bob in Weston super Mare.

[@plumberparts]

Spot on mate. Although I do have a potty mouth! 😂

[@adamsharp201]

Haha you are a decorator so dont dare have the nerve to comment on electricians work! If you can piss you can paint

[@bobx2387]

@@adamsharp201 I can comment on Electrician's work but as I did my apprenticeship in the Aircraft Industry where we also had to learn advanced building maintenance I can also view trades at all levels. If you read what I had said and not come out with the trite and normal comment re decorators, you might just have picked up a hint or two. At the level of custom I have had over the years and organisations I have had the pleasure to work with, I am happy that I have never had in all those years a customer complaint. I have had the unfortunate experience of informing a fully time served electrician that a circuit was live only to be ignored for the same reasons you spout.... His family were so grateful when I saved his life... think on. Bob

A bit late to the party, but all the best with the new venture and channel.

Thank you dave. Hope you and nige are doing well!

[@michaeljohnson1006]

This cable is great same protection rating as SWA. Alsecure NXS multipurpose general wiring cable BS8436. Cu class 2 / xlpe/bonded alluminum tape lszh. It has a much thicker sheath than firesure etc and is stiffer but has multi stranded. cables. Its stiffer to dress on walls etc so makes a nicer job. Not sure if its only in white. Don't think id use it underground.

[@paulhorn1064]

Good Luck with the Business, good few comments to take onboard, I'd have added a drop loop on the line accross the buildings, also would have run cable higher than the damp course level on a house .... looking forward to more KZbin Vblogs... but be careful filming your wheels on a set of Double Yellow lines 😒.

[@shamilmccarthy]

Good Luck Jimbo I’m out on my own in May/June all we can do is try mate. Good luck lad

[@mattsan70]

The wire tension is set with a turnbuckle and must be installed with it fully unscrewed. Once the wire is set in you then screw it up to give it the tension. Look on KZbin how to turn buckles operate for a better

Good luck Jimbo. I am glad I subscribed to your channel.

Good luck fella. The first rule of the one-man tradesman is to NEVER refuse a coffee or tea offered by the customer. I soon learned that as a decorator and handyman, especially if you want to be invited back in the future.

Drill a small hole through brickwork then go outside and drill in a quarter with your required size drill bit then go back in and finish your hole off. Or turn the hammer of before you go through as previously suggested. Nice vid though not digging this tough flex armour cables outside on a long run.

[@mrpete1972]

Good luck fella, being your own boss is the best ever. You'll be so busy, everywhere is crying out for trades.

[@johndunham2237]

Not sure how indestructible that cable is but in the US we would run conduit to protect wires from damage and also so no one gets shocked from a damaged cable

[@Ragnar8504]

It should be fine, the only thing I'd be worried about is sagging and poor looks because it's flexible. I'd suggest clips every 200 mm, possibly even 150. For HiTuf solid (NYY) you can go up to around 250 but this looks more like 400.
