That clip of Kasper crawling back out that void was hilarious, I’ve never watched anything that’s given me a complete mix of anxiety and humour together like that. I’m also a spark but one that suffers from claustrophobia, and just watching him go in there did me in ! 🤣 good video by the way 👍
Same mate, always admit when at fault. It goes a long way being able to just own it & it’s how you get over them. Show me a spark who hasn’t messed up on a drawing especially a kitchen. I’m sure some will say they never have but I certainly have. Glad you managed to record this one mate 🤣
I would’ve run a six mil directly into the cooker from the switch and not bothered with the flex outlet plate as they take up too much room for modern cookers and there is no requirement for them
Hi, just found this channel, great work and presenting, We're on CZcams as well but I'm only at 2.8k subs so you're a little ahead of me, looking forward to the next one
Indrill a bigger hole in the kitchen unit and fit stuffing glands to stop cables being pushed back out of the box of preventing cable connections getting strain from accidental pulled
Leave cables in ceiling void, draw a wiring grid when done. Plasterer’s don’t have to skim round cables, sparks second fix nice and easy? Works a treat for us
Spot light skim beads best of both worlds electrician happy cables are there and spots cut No holes with plasterer complaining with cables being in the way plaster going up hole and dry edges
Couple of things i would do differently although nothing wrong with how you done it just different for me. I would cut a single dry liner in the ceiling for the lost smokie cable because you can get your hand in there for a better fish around, u can then fit the alarm to the dry liner. The kitchen outlets i would have chased in a multi grid box for the appliances i actually think they look good, had loads of clients comment just on the big switch plus its definitely easier. At 2nd fix stage. I always have the cooker hood fuse at the grid also had lamps go and blow the fuse, some hoods are a nightmare to get the chimney off to replace the fuse. Just my 10pence worth 🤣
Great vid mate, perfect example of every day bull s**t us trades go through & have to get over. Things the client doesn’t always understand so good to get it out there. Always best to hold ya hands up when totally cornered as well 🤣 Casper is an absolute G for getting in that hole! I hope you treated him to a red bull & a pack of haribo fangtastics 😉 🤣
As an apprentice myself to my eye from the video it looks like you could’ve missed the gap before the unit and only come 1000 off. Could be wrong tho, everydays a school day!
Looking atbit and the distance between where he's brought the cable through and where it was supposed to be, this is exactly what I thought. He's just measured 1000 out and forgot the 272 gap

Good too see an honest tradesman. Excellent work as always.
Am I the only sparks left who doesn't have a CZcams channel?
haha.
Get with it man
I am starting one next week so you will be ha
Nice video fellas. Always best to own the mistakes and sort it. Top job.
Typical sparks, using a big hammer to accurately cut out a buried box.

😂👍🏻 cheers jay. Yeah I’m sure there’s going to be a few who say they don’t mess up 🙄😂. At least there’s going to be a wall unit there 😬😂

Still got no idea how he got through there 😆

are you both sharing a set of air pods lol
I bet you forgot to take 272 gape into your first fix measurements
No idea but I'm thinking you missed the 272 and did the 1000mm straight.

Exactly mate, some people assume it’s all rosey when it never is. Treat him?? I’m not that nice 😂😂
FFS Close the door Ryan
What down lights do you recommend for a bathroom? As in brand
JCC V50
That’s what happens when you are on price work no one cares about the next trade and nmp kicks in 🤣
True 😂
True. And it's usually the decorator who has to make every other trades shitty work look good.
Don’t worry it could be worse you could be Nick Bundy cowboy sparky
Can’t call them downlights what they’re really called. Should be known from now on as LENNEL lights
😂😂😂 you know
You measured 1000 from the wall didn't you
Think so 😩
I need a job ,am an electrician in india 9 yr experience

Thats the sparkys fault. The wires should have been clipped in the right place. Not the plasterers fault.
They was in the right place. So, plasterers fault
