Making A Disused Store Safe

[@Elvis_TheKing]

5:08 “There’s some sort of issue with access... I don’t know the ins and outs of it” 🤣🤣 Classic!!

[@mattlangley]

As a electrician working in Canada it's cool to see how the trade is done over seas! I've always wanted to have my own buisness and be a contractor and be my own boss. Thanks for the videos, it's nice to see someone with the similar mindset. You are just a bit further ahead haha. I'm 27 and finished my apprenticeship a year and half ago, hopefully open up my own buisness in the next few years! Thanks again!

[@tww5719]

Good luck Matt ,make sure you are confident in all aspects of electrical work,before you start up on your own,you learn something every day 👍

[@drfusioncraft]

Don't you need a masters license to open an ESA approved electrical business? I'm a first year apprentice in Ontario and also interested in starting up one day.

[@cliveramsbotty6077]

start now, don't wait a few years

[@mattlangley]

@@drfusioncraft Yes, a Field Safety Representative (FSR) license is required before I can open a company on my own. After you get a FSR you can then apply for a masters license where I'm located!

Both the Costa and KFC in my small town eventually converted their upstairs floors to extra seating, *years* after they opened.

[@will8579]

2 videos in 2 weeks?!? Welcome back Tom :)

[@johnwaby4321]

What you done with niomi. .👍👍👍

[@stephenhunter70]

With refrigeration units it's usually possible to close a valve on the receiver and pump down the system into the receiver not that this appears to have been done in this case.

[@thesteaktc]

I also can’t believe that the space above the shop is just not used.

[@coyote5735]

It's very common, I have seen it numerous times. The issue is with access for a potential owner or renter; so they just leave the floors empty.

[@imark7777777]

The refrigerant isn't so bad now than it isn't Freon any more however it is highly flammable propane. I also wonder if the alarm panel is more susceptible to interference using larger conductors, in the US we use a much smaller wire to distinguish it between electrics, thermostats, control, data, etc.

[@1987jugernaut]

Did you do the quiescent and alarm load?

[@jamescorrigan1002]

Hi I'm using 5 X 25mm swa what type breaker and size would I use. I'm discriminating down from 400amp mccb feeding a sub distribution panel. And what size breaker will I use in sub distribution panel. Sorry.. I'm used to domestic..

[@coyote5735]

Where's Nom Nom? Let's start a sweepstake to see how long Mark lasts.

[@will8579]

Hopefully Niaomi hadn’t left, she has a wonderful sense of humour!

[@johnhigginbotham8291]

Has Nom Nom gone? Sprout a pair and tell us.

[@daanwilmer]

Could also be she's running other jobs, no need to jump to conclusions.

[@brianoceallaigh8714]

great to see you out and about just like the old Thomas Nagy videos... love it "Pig Dog" ha ha...

[@terrymoore3335]

great to have you back tom

[@pistolpete5189]

Landlords should just turn the shops back into residential and go again.. cause let’s face facts as you say Tom Restarunt and hospitality is Daffy Ducked for a few years..

[@myfaceback100]

I fully agree I had 2 properties that were rented by shops and it was a nightmare I don't think any of them lasted more than a year each. converted them into flats getting more money and less headaches. I think it is also it is also they are great tenants

[@pistolpete5189]

The high street is dead!! It’s unfortunate but that’s the way of it.

[@nickbiss39]

Chemist here, you're spot on about recovering the charge from an AC system; the refrigerants have high GWPs and older ones are also destructive to the ozone layer. It also means needing a new line set, filter drier, evaporator unit, and maybe even a new compressor. Huge waste of money and environmentally destructive!

[@thesteaktc]

That’s crazy how they ripped everything out even the heater above the door

[@abzzeus]

If it had value greater than the cost of removal, it goes. When they're ripping everything else out the marginal cost of removal is minimal.

[@coyote5735]

If the premises are unusable the LL doesn't have to pay rates on the empty property, I have seen it before where a LL vandalises his property if he knows it will be empty for some time.

[@KnugenMooMoo]

What bag you got Tom ?

[@GraingerElectrical]

Twinflex systems are very reliable and good quality. Easy to use aswell.

[@swmltrainspotting]

Yeah. Never used them

[@hardave17]

Well done Bojo. Claps for you!

[@abzzeus]

The likely reasons for no new entrances are 1 - conservation area. The council want the fronts to remain the same as they always were 2 - a new staircase & door will take up frontage plus floor space.

[@swmltrainspotting]

I’ve never used a twinflex panel. I’d love one though.

[@darknessdestroyer5524]

I just bought that Bosch GLI 300 torch a month ago, great flexible tool and would recommend it to anyone 👍.

[@Wetthewhistle]

No 1080p 😞

[@MrWeddingPhotography]

Did you test the sealed lead acid batteries in the fire panel Tom? I’m guessing you have a battery discharge tester? Recommendation is to replace every 5 years unless failed earlier. Damaged cells within faulty batteries can cause leakages, overheating and melting and are even a fire risk themselves.

[@mfbfreak]

If people start draining R290 filled refrigeration systems, that's gonna be a whole lot of fun. More and more modern refrigerants are highly flamable. If they'd take a sawzall to the big refrigerator system, they're gonna have flaaaaames~! R290 doesn't really bother the environment, so they'd mostly be hurting only themselves.

[@1001ewaste]

Give me a moment and I'll see if I can rustle up a tear for landlords... Nope nothing. That property is a good example of what has gone wrong, the accommodation above is unusable and nobody would realistically be able to afford to buy or mortgage the place to both run a business from and live there. Never mind how much you are paying for your shoebox your one of the luckier ones through hard work, knowledge and experience. There are so many people homeless or drifting between the piss poor patchwork of hostels and other temporary accommodation or technically not homeless but living somewhere that you’d hesitate taking a dump. I probably listen to Louis Rossmann a bit too much though…

[@Brynoize]

but dude I love living in the city of london the hustle and bustle is so DYNAMIC. it's a small price to pay that no normal working person can afford a home in the capital, now im going to go drink an IPA in my local micro brewery it has red brick walls and everything!

[@CuffyFPS]

Keep the vids coming Tom, I've rewatched every video many times now hahaha

[@dragade101]

If only NYC was like this. I believe prices for shops AND the cost of doing business in NYC is still on the climb, despite the lack of demand for retail and restaurant spaces (and how vacant the city has become). Cities are odd how they age, some worse than others.

[@paulyh4531]

I watch Louis Rossman channel NYC is empty on his vids , most are leaving rents are going up so much 🤔

Its OK, if the bank was the official receiver they don't need to follow the law. That's been demonstrated multiple times.

[@thatguyinthefirebird]

I don't mind waiting for new videos because they're really interesting when they do land. It's similar to how I felt when Schwarzenegger announced he was returning to movies after his stint as Governor of California.

[@bigjd2k]

Did he say £80,000 to £100,000 a year in rent 😮 You’d have to have a very successful business to cover that plus bills and staff costs, and then make a profit! You’d never do that with a juice bar unless it’s packed all the time. And it’s a pretty small unit, too!

[@Benzknees]

In the normal world yes, but it’s in the pseud-world of Camden.

[@igorantczak3567]

Great Video as always Tom. Lovely to see you're back :)

[@swl6218]

Shes probably got her hands on a big job that needs her full attention.

[@mfbfreak]

Leaving habitable spaces sit uninhabited is criminal, and it should be recognized as such and put into law. At least for as long as demand for houses exceeds the supply.

Maybe the landlords should rent the place for 1 year with 30 or 50 percent off so the bussiness can get started that way its a win win situation the landlord only losses half the rent and the bussiness can get started

[@malang73]

Thomas, price of electricity, here in California. Is yours too? Too poor to get solar power. Can you talk about solar, also electricity storage for household.

[@stephenrowley4171]

The retail market is massively overflated. Loads of companies brought up these let's when the economy was half decent 15 years ago and now they can't drop rents because there up to there eye balls in debt from buying the properties in the first place. 80 to 100k a year for a small retail unit is mental

[@ginoonig4126]

[@davepusey]

Why not just lock off the main switch?

[@_______DR_______]

Because there's circuits that were still safe to be on like lighting and the front roller shutter. and you shouldn't really lock off and keep the key for an installation unless you already have plans in place to go back to it rather soon.

[@uplightuk8924]

Lock off? Who does that nowadays

[@sparx2391]

Alarm, roller shutter, plus they will want the lights on there , can't just cut the power to everything, plus who would hold the key? As I doubt if Tom will be going back when new people take over, much better to make it safe

Wow. I'm sure the landlord can find a way to use this space than leaving it vacant for so many years. I think this happens in the usa as well but often the buildings are newer and spaces above stores are converted into office spaces or studios.

[@1001ewaste]

If you watch Louis Rossmann he's more or less covered why properties will remain vacant regardless of what rational people think would or should happen.

[@Arachnoid_of_the_underverse]

Under present legislation, to be made residential a lot of money would need to be spent to change the fabric of the building and an application made to the council ( along with a wedge of money) for change of use .

[@AndyK.1]

Worse sound ever

[@ryanhelton1865]

I like this man but I think he needs to see other fire alarm systems and the quality they are built at compared to that Poundland excuse for a fire alarm the call points are the worst in the Uk they are made cheap and shit and as for the faults it’s now how they are installed it’s the quality of the products anyone who is a full time fire alarm installer knows this if I was ever asked to put a two flex in I’d be asking them to look els where as I would not put in a system which is potentially so bad I wouldn’t trust it to actually reactivate during a real fire
