Switches and sockets

[bubbles65]

A sparky told me that if you fit the tops back on before the walls are dry it creates a vacuum and cracks the tops. That's this weeks FRIDAY NIGHT INTERESTING FACTOID :RpS_thumbup:

Also wallcrete is created using anti matter

 

[beddy]

So he puts conduit in a socket to show you that it needs filling, even though its dead??? Come on really?

I dont know why he does It I just know that's the reason if you know what I mean

Next time you see the lazy tw@t, tell him to disconnect the spur and remove the box.

But that will cost steve an extra 6.1p in hardwall :-(

He removes the spur. I suppose its just to remove any doubt

But is it not the same as gas fitting it only becomes legal if you are being paid to do it ? and as humble plasterers when we have submitted our quotes we have not placed a charge for removing the sockets and are doing this gratis so, would touching the sockets with a screw driver actually be illegal? I could be wrong (and often am before anyone else says it ) but i thought the regs were worded around compedency ie compedent person same as corgi or gas safe registry?

Dare I have an opinion with out sounding like a tosser or tool or what ever but would you want to have to prove your competence when something goes wrong?

I would of thought you would be ok as long as you used a continuity tester i always carry at least 8 they are called wet fingers :RpS_lol:

That just makes it more stupid. He's trying to remove any doubt that he's a complete cretin I would imagine.

Ok so we've discussed sockets & switches.
So what are peoples views on removing light fittings?
and does it carry a prison sentence :RpS_unsure:

 

[carlos]

I will drop the plastic pendants and let them hang on the cables.

Anything else and the client has to get it down.

 

[DannyMac]

And what if that fancy B and Q Chinese made piece of sh1t with 20 x 10w bulbs is getting in the way of you and a days pay?

Wouldn't you be tempted to ease the claw of the hammer under the base of it?

[DannyMac]

Sometimes it just takes a little while to settle in.

 

[richb]

All my work is domestic too, and i always take off and tape up... wouldnt dream of going round them, its just not a proper job

 

[martinemj]

The only trouble I have had with taking screws out of the faces to plaster behind, is in damp work the back boxes go rusty and rot. When you undo the screw the little lugs can break, which leaves you right in the shite.

agree there ..we replace back boxes all the time that have rusted ..worse one was telephone socket..as this was the main incoming box
found a telephone engineer in local paper who replaced for 30.00(bt no help at all)
