spot the fault™

[Andy™]

That clipping is rough.

 

[Duane B]

Hold the wooden end it will be ok. Harmonised  colours to lol

 

[Blue Duck]

what's it for?

 

[Rob_the_rich]

what's it for?

Weapon? Better than having nails sticking out of it, and no-one will "borrow" any tools will they.

 

[Blue Duck]

That's all I could think of? 

Pretty inanimate! 

:C

 

[Andy™]

what's it for?

no idea. by the looks of it, it might have been for a light in a cupboard or something thats now not there. one cable goes 1mtr to the side with bare ends, probably to what was a pull switch

 

[Blue Duck]

Well...

At least it's wood and it won't spontaneously burst into flames like metal and plastic!

I've met this before:

Customer: "I need a couple of small alterations"

you go to look only to find half the stud walls in the house have been taken down and there are bits of wood like that hanging from the  ceiling with smashed switches and sockets and bare wires sticking out, all still live of course.

"the plasterer is coming tomorrow, do you think you will have it all finished by then?"
