Dylboy, wait to you get to our age, a shelf in the office just for SABS green and black books plus all the amendments (which I made the mistake of burning anything older than 10 years) , then a filing cabinet for all the hazardous location regulations. You say you battling to figure out if lights must be on ELU. I assume you havent started your studies to become a master electrician?

Imagine one day you will look back at the industry today and reflect on how it will change in the next 40 years.

When I left school in std 8, started my apprenticeship in 1982, we still had to cut and thread steel pipes to wire up buildings.

I did my trade test as all round electrician, which included everything including a steel pipe fabrication, filing and fault finding.

Now I go to work and for the first time this week, I just threw wires across the roof, clipped it down the wall, broke a hole above the flush box and connected and off to the next job.
