So my half brother who is a works in a psychiatric unit and has nothing to do with electrics decided to buy his own house shortly.He's been on fleabay buying up all kinds of gear,anyway he saw a house that he liked for 65K,only trouble was it needed a rewire and apparently it was about 2K or so he reckoned.I offered to give him a lift if he bought the place and said we could do it for well under a grand,anyway he spat his dummy out,he doesn't need me to sort his wiring,etc,etc etc! So leave him to it,then he's telling the old chap that he's going to do it himself as it isn't rocket science,the old chap then asks about testing and paperwork,apparently he's not going to bother,it'll be right no need for testing!
Well at the weekend he's showing the old chap a new cu that he's bought,apparently it's a 12 way split load and was reduced from around a hundred quid to sixty,it's a lovely white plastic one with a drop down front! The old fella points out about amdt3 and the use of non combustible cu's,he's seen the article in a magazine I gave him a few months ag
ur kid then goes into a rant about how the old fella knows nothing and I know even less!,he storms off in a huff,then 10 minutes later he rings him up all apologetic like,apparently he's just had an email and the old chap's right after all,now given he has no contact with any electrical organisations or anything remotely of that nature what's the odds on him getting an email telling him about amd3 ten minutes after having an arument about plastic cu's?
Anyway I'm going to leave him to it and laugh when it all goes wrong,I just hope nobody tells him that you can use a plastic cu if it's in a non flammable enclosure,otherwise he'll be on fleabay or somewhere looking for an ammo box or something he can cover it with.
