Electrical nightmares

[ians]

I visited the site and noticed this joint in the floor ...about to be concreted closed ...its the supply cable from the meter box to the main DB.

What happens when the builder using his mate who isnt an electrician but needed some work to make a few bucks

[ians]

ooops just another burnt plug

[ians]

thank goodness for metal detectors ...i am sure the rule book says no joint plastered into the wall ...this is very common for builders electricians to cover up stuff knowing it is a hit and run job

[ians]

I sure the rules book says no joints in Tee boxes ...buried.

This is why i hate working in fast food outlets... they are rated in the top 5 of real electrical nightmares.

But it is within arms reach sorry for the poor sparkie who has to trace a neutral fault...at least the DB is labelled.

My view of your electrical installation ...it has got so bad that you cant tell the difference between the alarm installer ...the cctv installer or the sparkies mess ...they all just as bad.

If I quoted R3000 to change a 20A 1pole cb in a db similar to this would it be over priced? What would the recommended price be as per the ECA? The customer warned me the slightest scratch on the cupboard, and it needs to be replaced. This also needs to-be done after hours.

Oh the joys of being self employed. A customer like that I do not need. Probably wants credit as well ... know the type. I would actually quote more to make sure I don't get the job ......
