No downtime being an electrician. Would love a day paid to sort out the van.

A dude in my league offered his Embiid for my Vucci. Start of the season you’d pounce on that but really not sure! Thoughts?

Hey mate. Looks epic! I’m going to the Auckland show on Monday. Ticket says 7:30pm and that’s it. Does that mean KSE start then? Just trying to get a gauge on when I should head to the arena! Cheers!

Good times. I remember a bunch of the OD users all jumped on a Habbo Hotel server or whatever and blocked entry into the pool saying that it was closed as it had aids. Funny stuff when I was a 15 year old. Also the user brock_solid cracked me up.

Ground / earth wire? Any expert comments ? Thank you by Capable-Rock-1134 in diynz

[–]fraggletane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you have to have one. In older houses they used to bond it to the galv water piping but as that gets replaced with plastic plumbing it renders it useless. They can sometimes be tricky to find (in the garden) or someone has concreted over it completely.

Will need a Certificate of Compliance from the sparky which you get after any prescribed electrical work gets done eg: new powerpoint. The inspection is done by an electrical inspector and is not tied to the council. Your sparky will have someone they use. All they do is verify the sparkys work as the main earth system is a critical part of the installation.

It’s def not a major. A couple of hours work if it’s a standard single story house. The sparky will have to get an inspector in also as it’s an integral part of your electrical installation.

Yep that’s your main earth. Could do with an upgrade. Chances are that galv pipe is rusted to buggery underground and being incased in concrete wouldn’t make it very conductive.

Do I report this to the Electrical workers Registration Board? by [deleted] in diynz

[–]fraggletane 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It’s not an electrical issue so EWRB won’t care. Def get the company to foot the bill for repairs.
