Badfish · Oct 24, 2011

I have just started work on a kitchen renovation so i so i have taken some pics.

All i have done so far is take down the ceiling and start to take out the old sockets. as you can see i have found some interesting DIY electrical work.

Nice nest, bet you got a surprise when you pulled that section of plasterboard down?

Badfish, in one of the pics of the bare wall, there looks to be dodgy brickwork, if thats the case, get it sorted after phoning Rentokil or someone to sort that bees nest. If I found that, I would be well gone a bit lively.

if i was there id be running at the first site of the bees nest never mind taking the whole ceiling down :run

Was a bit cautious when I first saw the nest but it was quite obvious that it was dormant.zee can't see any brickwork I think that you maybe looking at the wall where the tiles have been taken off. Will be more photos soon.

Badfish was ok when he saw that nest cos he wears that big helmet!

Looks great mate - thanks for the updated pics.

May I just point out two observations and they are in no way, any criticism.

1. In pic 8 I see your T&E running under, instead of through the noggin. (not 50mm from the bottom of the joist, but running very close to the bottom of it).

2. In pic 16 from the end of the three clipped T&Es to ceiling joist, it looks tight.

Like I sid, Fantastic work, and thank you for the pics.

Anyone else want to post pics of their work?

:x

Check out my new method of connecting SWA to a JB. You like ???

It was fed in 2.5mm T&E from a 32A CPD to this JB then SWA fed upstairs into Loft for upstairs sockets. Same style of joint in loft with JB feeding sockets. The flex goes down to a 4 gang trailing lead for use outdoors. (most prob for lawn mower)
