I am busy rewiring a machine today, why a Sunday, because it it quiet and I can think, I dont have the stress of dealing with customers and breakdowns etc.

I started this job a couple weeks ago, but thank goodness I stopped, these jobs require careful planning and you need to be very careful tagging and identifying the wires. It is best to get up at 3.30 am when its quiet and you can focus on the task at hand. I find that when I do long day shifts into the night and sometimes as long as a 20 hour shift, even though it gets nice and quiet from around 11 pm, your brain is tired and you need to be doing work that is simple like wiring up DB's.

I find once all the circuits are at the DB, I build a scaffold and position it behind were I am working so that I can support all the wires, then you can pull down the circuit and loom and cable tie them, something I have noticed has created quite a few comments in the past. Some say the inner wires of the loom get hot, so it would be better to sperate the wires and pull them down straight behind the breaker. I just find it frustrating when you have to fault find and cut all the cables ties , those neat looking panels just become a nightmare, even on the little domestic boards.
