Completely ofay with HTMs and all that is MEIGAN. So there is nothing really to catch me out. Cannot walk away from this. The amount of work on the back of it immense. The price is equivalent to a weeks work and got a sat and sun to do it. Had the date through and it's not till November now due...

Have done my MEIGAN course. Most of my work is hospitals. Have to install to HTMs and MEIGAN. Just struggling in my head to remember codes and to what extent to test. Have not kept up to date with changes (if any) not done a PIR for years. Don't want to get there and look like I don't know what...

Have got my first PIR in about 6 years. Twin operating theatre, recovery and plantroom. Can anyone recommend a good read to refresh my brain. Test new installations all the time but have been offered work doing quite a few PIRs.

Do a lot of work using galv tray, ladder and basket. In all instances we bond everything. Have left it before but always been pulled on it by the consultant. Whether its a reg or not it appears that all consultants think it should be bonded.

Had my Bosch 36V for five years now. Cost me an arm and a leg but is probably best bit of kit I've brought. And believe me I've brought some kit over the last few years!!!

Met Sir Jimmy Saville whilst working at Stoke Mandeville hospital. We had just gone to the ATM in the spinal injuries department when he came in. Apparently he used to donate a lot of money to them and helped open that department. He stood and had a chat with us for a good ten minutes. Top...

Looks well neat but would like to know how long it took. If you've got a lot of time to do a job you can spend time making it neat. I done a TP board change the other day and had half a day to strip the old one out and install the next. Plus point only 12 circuits and no testing. (done by others)

I enquired about joining elecsa. I told them that my work was all industrial and commercial but wanted registration incase work started drying up. Told him I might not have any domestic to show the assessor. I was told, and I quote, " ..... some work at your own house would be ok or failing that...

Thanks for the help people!!

Thanks canoeboy great link. However because these 240s are singles they are circular but these forming tools seem to do SWA cores ( triangular) Nozspark the link doesn't seem to work

I have a 59 plate Transporter. Had a couple of little problems more annoying than anything else. Have had it from new and done a bit of reading on van forums before getting one. Everyone seems to have a horror story one way or another about different vans. If we listened to all of them we would...

A couple of months ago someone posted on here how to make a tool to form large cores before terminating. I have a job coming up where I need to terminate 64 240mm singles into a small space. Help to find this information would be most appreciated!!

The sun always shines on the righteous! I still get wet when working outside!!!

How about stainless conduit. Looks nice and smart as long as you don't scratch it whilst threading. Bit expensive but looks the dogs.

Sharpend: great!! wish I had thought of that one. It's an actual 3 hour course on how to wear, how to use and inspect a harness. It's another way of taking our hard earnt cash!!!

Anybody heard of a harness certificate? Went to a job recently and needed to use a cherry picker. Not a problem got the t shirt (license) then was told I needed a harness whilst in said cherry picker. No problem I have one in the van. Then BOOM have you got your harness certificate? Errrrrr...

Not quite sure. Like I said I know a few who have been asked for this. If you follow this link it will tell you what the JIB require qualification wise to be graded. If you check the web site you can download an application form.http://www.jib.org.uk/handbook.aspx?cid=283...

Hello! To obtain ECS card you will need to go on JIB website and download application form. You will then need to supply copies of all your certificates. You may need NVQ3 I know of a few people who have been asked for this. http://www.jib.org.uk/handbook.aspx?cid=283 GOOD LUCK!!!!! The multi...

TPS was never stipulated. They only asked for the installation to comply with Aussie regs. Out of intrest does TPS have an orange outer sheath? I only asked because they have just supplied some cable for their sparks to pull in that are 10mm 5 core but size wise looks more like a 16mm 5 core...

Sorry to bang on about it but this will be my last post on subject. The official reason for rewiring is...wait for it.... its harder to find a fault when using singles than if you use multicore cables!! To me that is just being a lazy *********! If cables are in trunking and conduit and not...
