    Makes for a good debate this one. I’m returning to the job to sort the house end out yet so any buried cable that could potentially be damaged or impacted will be getting the swa earthed to the relevant circuit.

    Always impressed with your work ethic and work methods. Quality from start to finish. Annoys when I do a job and find short cuts and rubbish work done previously!

    I was doing garden work today with wiska boxes, I would like a long wiska box with 4 x 20mm outlets so when looping in and out any flexes for bed lighting can also gland in the bottom, would look neater and be better for any water ingress.

    Thanks for the video Chris. Nice little job. I like the Wiska 206 joint boxes, nice and neat. The new products that are designed for us sparks to make life a little simpler, quicker and neater . I find it amazing how people can still get it wrong. (Those wago’s when you removed the original enclosure) 🙈

    The armour of an swa cable is classed as an exposed conductive part and must be earthed and the appropriate manufacturers glands used, it must never be left unearthed.

    I think you are unduly generous with your use of the word "Installed" at the start on that mess Chris.

    Personally as already said I'd have liked to see proper glanding and would have done so. Would I go back to do it? probably not. Do I think the shed will explode and cause the apocalypse? Nope. Do I do thing that others may frown upon that I think are ok using common sense? Definitely, we all have different opinions. Some comments on here are from perfect sparks that do everything exactly as it should be no matter what's been served up or the clients budget. Even late in the day they wouldn't dream of using the red stuffer or flagged cables with tape. They would clear there diaries the next day to come back for something so minor. That's called perfection. Normal decent sparks like most of us will just have to settle for our best I suppose. I'd like to ask some people on here if they have ever left a job and then thought "I could have done that bit better, maybe next time ". I do about once a week 🤣. Point is as long as you give a shit about your work that's half the battle. The way in which some people seem to work in these comments sections I think they must earn 5k a year and feed the family on rice and beans.

    Nice to the see if the source goes into directly to the consumer unit or a fcu and straight through the wall to an outside junction box.

    This has been an interesting find while going down the CZcams rabbit hole. I've been an electrician in the USA for over 20 years. I thought electricity was all ohms, volts, amps, watts, etc. But many of the things and terms you use are completely different. It's interesting to say the least.
