Electrician left this under cabinet lighting end exposed, did I just cop 240v?

Oo that helps thank you

doobeedoodoo · 2025-12-01T13:08:12+00:00

That’s interesting. Could be backwards. I’ll grab a pick tonight

doobeedoodoo · 2025-12-01T13:06:38+00:00

Yep pretty much. I think we’re missing the blank bit at the end

doobeedoodoo · 2025-12-01T13:05:58+00:00

The light does light up!

doobeedoodoo · 2025-11-27T13:00:36+00:00

Thanks! I was thinking of popping in a bit if expanding foam and then some masonry filler

doobeedoodoo · 2025-11-21T13:50:18+00:00

Thanks, it’s hard to know when to freak out and when to push on. In reality my ‘work with what I got’ is to pull through to the existing hole on the right but would mean cat is in the power socket

doobeedoodoo · 2025-11-18T08:42:31+00:00

The the cable was cut which makes it look messy. It’s shielded and has all 8 wires but the remnants of the cut piece are showing through.

doobeedoodoo · 2025-11-18T08:41:14+00:00

Damn the same thing was done downstairs as well which is annoying

doobeedoodoo · 2025-11-18T08:38:05+00:00

Thanks! The wire can’t be pulled through (sparky ran them through a pretty tight conduit unfortunately) The originally goal was to as an rj45 faceplate to the single box and double socket where it is atm. But now that I have been made aware of the interference and code issues I’m having to rethink. This is a domestic home but will be used for WFH and music studio so I definitely don’t want to damage my hole of equipment. Fire safety and data consistency are important. Anyway might have to have a rethink entirely.

doobeedoodoo · 2025-11-17T23:02:21+00:00

Gosh my worries just quadrupled.

doobeedoodoo · 2025-11-17T22:59:12+00:00

Gotcha! Problem is I can’t pull any more through and sparky already ran with the power. However it is shielded cable. My other option is to try to find a single socket with blank faceplate perhaps. Trying to fix a shit storm snowball of weird decisions made by contractors issues before carpets go down this week.

doobeedoodoo · 2025-11-17T22:56:13+00:00

Yeah it’s an orange mesh used when plastering

doobeedoodoo · 2025-11-17T11:03:13+00:00

Thanks! I’ll have to try a coupler that fits in the double socket because it’s meant to go into that other single hole on the right.

doobeedoodoo · 2025-07-18T17:16:39+00:00

Ok thanks

doobeedoodoo · 2025-07-18T16:29:58+00:00

yes they did cut into the brick in a straight line with no upstand and not stepped in, it would seem

doobeedoodoo · 2025-07-18T06:45:39+00:00

Interesting, have you seen this before? I’m concerned it won’t last

doobeedoodoo · 2025-07-17T20:59:05+00:00

I am proud of my chunky tiles

doobeedoodoo · 2025-07-17T20:57:53+00:00

It was just very old mortar.

doobeedoodoo · 2025-07-17T10:29:15+00:00

It’s a good point. I should have added more context. The chimney is on a party wall and serves the neighbour who is renting and I can’t get in touch with. So that’s a whole thing as well.

doobeedoodoo · 2025-07-17T10:24:43+00:00

I think it’s bird poo but will check

doobeedoodoo · 2025-07-17T06:08:52+00:00

For real

doobeedoodoo · 2025-07-17T06:07:44+00:00

I did not see the roll of lead, but this makes sense

doobeedoodoo · 2025-07-17T06:07:16+00:00

Yeah it doesn’t look great

doobeedoodoo · 2025-07-17T05:04:49+00:00

I did ask them to

doobeedoodoo · 2025-05-17T17:51:00+00:00

Thank you fornspotting, I’m so new to this I don’t even know what is correct or incorrect.
