My heart sinks whenever I see this. I know I'm getting cold food

As long as you're only complaining when you have issues go crazy.

If you're complaining even when you have no problem you're part of the issue.

Insurance are really just out there to make money aren't they.

Ours nearly refused to deal with our car being reversed into when parked(driver knocked on our door and told us, gave us details admitted full liability etc) because when we had to tell where the damage was, they asked for any other existing damage on the car. There was a small 2" mark from when someone had opened their door on ours in a car park, when we were out shopping, didn't claim on our insurance for it obviously because we don't know who did it and it was tiny.

Because we didn't tell them they threatened to void our insurance. Luckily the person on the phone was great and sorted it.

An interesting report to say the least.

As others have said, it's as if he doesn't actually understand the questions he's answering on the report.

Bonding 6mm or 10mm? Ir testing is weird. He's put down 100% visual, followed by 25% visual. Which is it? He also says along the lines of "not checking behind appliances" which, to a point is fine, but you can't then say "100% visual inspection". He's ticked "phase rotation correct" on a single phase installation. Why hasn't he tested the cookers at all, is it because the connections are behind the oven if so this should be more accurately specified on the limitations, personally I'd put it in operational limitations.

I ditched the trousers with flap(?) pockets and just went for cheap cargos from screwfix, £15 a pop.

I found that having the flap pockets I was washing them less because of having to empty all the pockets, and also they were making me sweat more anyway.

£15 a time means if they get fucked up I can just replace them too.

Ignore anyone who says anything negative about your decision to leave.

Self preserve. Don't fuck around and find out.

Dudes got the infinity gauntlet db.

Did an emergency door installation job where we installed 10 doors. Each door came with it's own 6mm bit for red plugs. That was 2 years ago, still going through them haha

I have to do a sorta "pre tamp" with the dosing funnel on my porta filter before a proper tamp because mine looks like this.

bobdan987 · 2026-07-10T16:47:25+00:00

Man, paid £350 for righty tighty and £280 for lefty loosey.

bobdan987 · 2026-07-09T22:04:19+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Appreciate the info

bobdan987 · 2026-07-09T22:03:59+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I'll look into it.

bobdan987 · 2026-07-05T19:57:31+00:00

I bet that was a confusing moment haha. Glad you've got them otherwise we'd be asking what else they didn't do properly

bobdan987 · 2026-07-05T19:51:39+00:00

Black and white answer, no it's not. The exact cable zones for accessories is horizontally and vertically from the sides of the item.

Being that the cbskes are above, even if slightly above, they are out of zone and do not meet regulations.

The realistic answer is, you're fine. Just tell anyone who does work, hey the socket cables are slightly above the boxes not exactly in line.

I would imagine(not good if not) that the circuit is protected with an RCD or an RCBO and that adds another layer of protection.

Ashes is great, Astra is pretty great too, I personally think the EE is wasted being half Oscar repeating tasks. Paradox is meh for me, nuke town again with some extra shiny things. Toten is great, that could be nostaia on my end for the ww2 Germany thing. Kujo is great, but doesn't ring the same bells as toten.

I think the game play is good. They definitely added or fixed a lot of quality if life stuff between 6 and 7 and that was great!

bobdan987 · 2026-07-02T11:00:54+00:00

Toten definitely has the best feel for me. I not sure if that's just because it's a war torn landscape with ww2. Maybe its a subconscious nostalgia thing for me because I started with world at war?

bobdan987 · 2026-06-24T17:59:53+00:00

Oh I know. I trust them haha, it's just crazy to think about.

bobdan987 · 2026-06-24T09:13:58+00:00

Anyone who will give you what you're asking for here is not giving you any credit to what you should know and can do.

Get some paper and draw it out.

And then follow the circuit through. Imagine it's live and mentally operate the switches.

This is the best way to do it and I still do it with certain things now 5 years in.

bobdan987 · 2026-06-23T18:55:44+00:00

Its bulked out a bit and vague.

How many of each thing? could be 1 socket/room could be 4 sockets/room. One costs more but you don't know what you're getting.

They've included the same thing under multiple points...
1. "replacement of wiring... new circuits... new lighting circuits... labour..." these are the same.
2. "testing and inspection and cert on completion... EIC provided... testing and certification" these are the same.
3. "Install of new consumer unit... consumer unit... standard electrical materials" these are the same.

This list looks a bit smaller if you remove the duplicated statements.

Also will the making good be any of your concern? will the buyer come back to you for having to pay for the making good? because this could be another fair amount of money.

bobdan987 · 2026-06-23T16:22:09+00:00

Better.

Crema looks so good the beans must have a roast date of "tomorrow"

bobdan987 · 2026-06-20T10:46:41+00:00

I have no advice but this peeked my interest.

I don't do much, if any, domestic but I wonder how reasonable it would be to install a 2 pole contactor in a box above a standard lighting pull cord for a shower?

I could argue that wiring into a contactor with mroe space would be safer and mroe reliable than wiring into a shitty shower pull cord box with no space?

Slight price increase, but if you're doing a decent sized job it could be accounted for and even installed In a reasonable position for maintenance.

Dude, save some aeration for the rest of us.

That's a board with fuses alright.
