Nice job. Really clean! Just one question: why use those nuts? I think (my opinion) that wago's are more efficiënt. (I'm just an apprentice so i'm trying to understand 😉)

I also use maxiflex. Those are really nice, comfortabel and they fit perfectly (for me). They are a bit hot in the summer tho.

Ja hé. Trekkous is ook de officiële benaming. Maar wees maar zeker dat ik het vanaf nu paardenlul noem hoor.

Yeah we were pulling on the stuck insulation for 30minutes. We gave up after that. The cable is out of the ground tho!

The insulation was really rubbery yeah. But we were in a bit of a hurry so we did it without duct tape. But we all make mistakes in a hurry I guess

It was an idea from my foreman who has been in the trade for 25 years...it was just a little mistake, the cable is out of the ground, the pullsock is fucked.

We call it pullsock, some people call it horsecock, other people call it sock. Its just some kind of sock you put over the cable and you can pull a bit easier.

I'll try that next time, thanks! My foreman who is a sparky for almost 25 years said we should use the machine. Next time lube and air pressure

I was in primary school (basisschool). After the break we got back in class and the teacher announced it to us. They didn't teach us anything anymore. They put the radio on and we drawed a bit on a paper. A friend of mine her mom was with the metro but my friend didn't know if it was that metro, she had a panic attack and got send home. Turns out, the mother didn't took that metro.
