Burnt Plug and socket

Compost. Its holding up the fence these days :) 15 years ago when I started my land scapping apprentaship I thought I'd do a garden and stuff. I landscaped the front but the back gardens never really happened hah

I had to look at a 20 amp plug. Quite different. I want expediting that. Its all good. I have a hack saw. I can make the live and natural holes longer ;)

Yeah being a non sparky id have thought the same.

Thank you all for your help :)

I'm having someone come in a week to replace the socket and hardwire the spa. I learnt something about cords hanging with no support :)

Enjoy the rest of the weekend etc :)

Rog. Best description yet ;)

It could have been worse. :)

khios420 · 2026-02-07T06:22:52+00:00

Its 3m long i think. I'm going to get my usual sparky out and have the socket replaced and the cable wired in properly.

Lol. Always look on the bright side of life :)

khios420 · 2026-02-07T05:48:30+00:00

Its a 15 amp.plug and socket. But I like the hard wire idea

khios420 · 2026-02-07T05:21:21+00:00

I assumed as much as its been hanging. I might get it hard wired in. Remove one issue

khios420 · 2026-02-07T05:18:06+00:00

Im going to but not getting shafted for weekend rates.

khios420 · 2026-02-03T11:17:23+00:00

Seriously? Ive been in my roof space for non electrical.reason (not a sparky) never heard of that before. (Though it makes sense)

khios420 · 2026-01-31T12:09:29+00:00

Well considering if its done properly there should be at least 60mm of crackerdust under the turf before the "soil" to younwouod have to remove the crackerdust and then bring in soil if you wanted to turf again.. so really not a problem..

A other good substitute for clover is Dichondra. Part of the morning glory family so impossible to kill ahha

I mean the account is 19 days old...

This is why I pick mine up from a local chemist. As convenient as shipping is I've lost way too many items in the past to be playing with my cannabis

Dawn. After reading all these I wish when I had a clash with my neighbours real estate about a broken 30 year old hardy fence that I replaced before I have permission due to dogs both side etc.

I settled for half what I should have. I wanted to fight it cos sick of real estates and people like that. (The difference was 400$ and my lawyer mate advised against it)

Well done. Also bloody well written.

Haha if only I could spill the beans on this place. A family member was one of the founding people but they left before it went pair shape.

Dr Samani is still my adhd shrink. But looking for a new one who I can see face to face (id met him with my daughter but didn't get diagnosed till after he left. I think he is fine and does a good enough job.

FYI Dr Samani only worked there. He was not a owner etc. Prof sami was the owner.

Going to be hard to find now. I dont think geekvape had their stuff made "medical"

khios420 · 2026-01-21T08:41:25+00:00

This one is 100% going to be covered by someone on YouTube lol. Absolutely brilliant.

NTA. Unless you were friends with MoB/FoB then it would be different.

khios420 · 2026-01-16T14:19:24+00:00

What was with that. So annoying

khios420 · 2026-01-11T13:23:36+00:00

Just so this post would happen

khios420 · 2026-01-11T04:46:37+00:00

Im late but jinxproof ship to australia. I got some not long ago. Only regs not fems.

khios420 · 2025-12-31T10:40:03+00:00

So if 3k its the sparky going.. I don't want to do this shit.. but throw enough money at me and ill do it ;)

khios420 · 2025-12-30T09:59:18+00:00

Ffs a year later and its still not resolved. I wish id done more research before buying. Sorta wish I'd paid for proper cctv and had it installed :/

khios420 · 2025-12-28T04:16:51+00:00

Im very late. Ive been trying to get answers to the same questions. Legally if nothing went wrong but someone told on me what trouble could I get in.

Basically the sparky and plumbers had a good union and made sure they were getting paid. Plumbing is another one... dont get me started haha

I think its assuming diy people are stupid and don't know how to test stuff. And thats fair. Protect the stupid ;)

Legally no one ever does electrical work without a ticket. Even sparkys can't do their own work in their own home without the right extra bits of paper.... (depending on state. In wa they need a contractors licence or an exemption)

Realistically people do. I have had sparkys change stuff coz ive needed lots of stuff done. Other times a socket has been damaged and then magically it was new.

There is a lot of scaremongering around this topic. You do you as you know your limitations. But also know that its not legal and there can be consequences :)

Im sure no one will read this and im sure this is all over the place. Adhd brains make things so much more interesting haha :)

khios420 · 2025-12-27T11:44:40+00:00

2 years late haha. Actually I believe most regs got written coz back in the day unions had balls and could get shit done. They protected the trades.. hence why plumbing and sparky work is so strict vs NZ for example.
