[QUOTE="Rob_the_rich, post: 457076, member: 8419"] That all looks like first fix to me. Is he coming back to put on the switches etc? I don't understand how he has been paid 95% of the 5K and the job is not finished or apparently even tested (none of the cores have been exposed, I haven't a clue what "safety tests" have been done. Unless he snipped the exposed cores off after testing). I am a bit concerned about the fixing of the light to the wall, it seems like 5 cables are in the "safe zone" directly above the switch, roughly where the screws will go. I think that because 5 cables are there, he didn't want to dig the dodgy one out and possibly cause more damage. The wall does look pretty thick. So the cable behind the door frame could well be >50mm from the surface of the wall. But it is definitely not 50mm from the surface of the doorframe. And if it is in the middle of the frame, that is right where the door stop will be nailed/screwed. Agreed, poor. [/QUOTE]
