It's always great to see a vid, but I don't think anybody who enjoys these videos wants you to hate doing it. Take time-outs whenever you need them and don't feel bad over it. Life's too short.
Good to see your back and feeling better.
There was a major disturbance in the electrons with you gone, Artisian made a video that wasn't fitting a car charger 😟
Don’t need to apologise. Glad to see your back and feeling better. Brilliant work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
No need for apologies, good to see you back 👌🏻 Stay well and take time out when you need to - so many pressures these days 🥵🤯 Cheers Nick 👍🏻
Great to see you guys again. I’m on holiday and thought I was missing them. Take time outs Nick, to keep the content fresh. ❤️❤️
Many of us have our downers mate your not alone, your a great guy and love the content, I’ve personally learnt so much watching your videos. Sometimes a break is needed, power through with a smile and you’ll be back on top form before you know it 👊👊
Your honesty about mental health issues (in previous videos) and just needing some space (as you described here) is so refreshing - thank you. It would be too easy to edit videos to make life seem perfect. You are doing an important service by talking openly about these things - for yourself and others.
On an electrical note, what about bonding metal stud frame partitions? My house has them, the cables hang freely within the void but as far as I can see the frame is not bonded at all. (as from new in 2004).
No need to ever apologise for taking time to look after yourself, great to see you back.
Been binge watching the videos to the point I need to ask, is delicious trademarked?
Great to see you back Nick, but always remember your Health is the most important thing, always good to take time away , keep up the great work. 👍🏻
We all need a breather at some point, apologies not needed! Great to see your back and well..keep up the great content 👍
Good to have you back, Nick. You can see from the video that you don't look in a particularly good place. Hoping you have worked through it and are coming out of the dark. Take care.
Welcome back, of course we miss you but taking time out to look after you is important, glad you're feeling better.
I still find it so fascinating how all of your lighting is just wire struck through a hole in the wall or ceiling and then the fixture actually attached to the surface. In North America we're required to have a box and then the fixture is attached to that. Always a guaranteed solid attachment point and the connections are all done in the box. Only exception to that is recessed lights, and they have to have a junction box attracted to the fixture, or one up in the ceiling. So many interesting differences.
In my house all the capping fitted in the 80s was bonded. A short stab of every metal capping was taken above the ceiling, then a length of 2.5 bare earth wire was taken to every cap. It was pulled tight for some reason, some were like bowstrings.
Bonding is a grey area. Simple principal is this, in NORMAL use is there a possibility of the user getting an electric shock if by touching EXPOSED metal while they are grounded , If other factors can influence the installation and make it unsafe , IE water steam heat vibration or the breakdown of the insulation of single insulated cable or wire then you bond the exposed metal .Note the word normal and exposed , that capping covering those cables was NOT EXPOSED so no you don't need to earth .
Good to see you back. Hope things are looking up for you! On the rcbo with 3x conductors each I think this is a good scenario where a split rcd board may come in handy. If you have 3 x circuits being inconvenienced by a trip then why not save cost even more and do a split board with an mcb for each radial? Maybe you have good reason for doing it your way. Looking forward to hearing any feedback.
Craig.
Hi Nick, thanks loads for that video.
I'm glad I'm not the only one going through the stresses of running a business, doing a bit of CZcams and also getting offers from companies abroad offering to showcase their products.
I have dismissed loads of companies that I don't feel would provide good products.
I think it was Amy The Sparky that I had a chat to about not selling yourself out to cheap companies, otherwise the good brands won't touch you!
Some days I just want to stay in bed all day and do nothing, today was one of those days but I managed to get through a hard days graft!
One thing I'm really grateful to you for(amongst others) is leading me to Tradify, I would not be anywhere near as productive as I am now if it weren't for Tradify.
Good video mate, look forward to the next one.
Hang in there @doctorelectric keep grafting you are doing it for you and your loved ones. They love you no matter what.
@@mathman0101 Cheers, as always, I really appreciate your loyal support and kind comments, take care
well done m8 for being honest to yourself n your viewers, your vids are always entertaining dont worry about that ,,, just a shame im not nearer id have sorted all your communications problems
Good to see you back my dude, hope ure over ure illness 🤢 ❤️
Glad to hear your feeling better Mr Bundy....👍
Glad you're back Nick, I enjoy your videos.
Always up for a chat Nick if you need to vent.
Good to see you back Nick. Take care
Nice to have you back Nick!
No need to say sorry nick we all have are bad days /weeks glad to see you back. Keep safe
Glad to see you back mate, but like you say, need to look after you and yours 👍
I would ask her if we could do away with any of the socket on the Eco 7 DB to reduce the the amount to deal with. But would only go as far as doubling them up due pyramiding of cables in the rcbos, even though they may be tightened at the time the pyramiding of the cables coupled with heat over time could make terminations loose. Not to say Im right its just how I think. Good luck 👍👍👍.
Wack all them cables in a junction an chuck it on a 20A breaker,its no different to an A1 radial . As for earthing ,think thyself lucky,back in the days of the 15th edition it was recommend to bond any metal window frames in the bathroom,and i remember a long discussion at collage regarding the bonding of the metal plates we all use when you have to notch a joist.
I've had to make some wooden plinths for those old metal wall lights to fit the connections somewhere. I'm no carpenter but I was quite pleased with the effect.
Multiple sockets in to one RCBO seems to make perfect sense. A 16/20A radial with three sockets on it would be reasonable, so what if each has its own cable?
A good vid. The little heat gun i second -- best bit of kit for heat shrink --even works to soften tape lengths in the winter Held at disance) and will melt hot melt glue to enable removal from awkward places ....
I feel for you mate taking the next step, maybe look at taking on another spark as you've mentioned over next 12 months, hard to trust people I get that.
With regards to social media look at agencies/consultants. My old place we used to employ someone just to look after social media, as the amount of stuff that came through everyday was huge.
When feeling low, stick to close pals and family, can always stop doing this if the love isn't there and do what you enjoy.
As the saying is if you enjoy what you do, you never work a day in your life👍
Great vid guys.
not a spark,I'm a plumber who follows a few tradesmens blogs, take time out mate,we all go through a period of bad headspace, Keep up the good work 👍👍
Everyone has something to say about someone else’s work always. Keep doing what you’re doing mate. Doing a decent job. From a fellow sparks 👌🏻
no apologies needed: glad you are feeling a bit better. Just look after yourself.
Love ur content inshallah you feel better my brother
Top man, Vids are class and internationally admired Chin up Big Nick
Hope you time to yourself was good, family and self time is needed, I do hope everyone realises personal time is far more important to health than videos, hope you are feeling better
Stay positive dude. One love
Change to 5 amp sockets if the sockets are being used for lighting maybe, if you are using less rcbo's. Glad to hear you're OK. Chin up. We all have those moments.
Totally agree with u on the rcbos I horse several together all the time
Take care! Good vid.
I can remember the time when you had to taper the end of metal sheathing and terminated it in a switch box to earth it.
Didn't realize how much id miss seeing your stuff! Great content as usual. had to watch Jorden instead!!!
Heya Nick, I hope you're doing ok. Don't overdo it!
Great good guys .could you explain about the breakers that you use. combined MCB & RCBO ?please Record a video about it
Dude - glad your ok - I am a web developer/ IT dude from New Zealand if you need a hand would be a few management systems you could put into place :)
Nick dont worry about anyone else, Just take care of yourself thats more important for your health.
Shit Happens Mate. All good, glad your back and feeling better.
Not in the electrical trade any more Im in food production, but Ive noticed basically steel work like indoor bulk tanks, stainless steel pipework and steps etc are not generally earthed as a rule but metal cable trays are generally just bonded across the joints.
Take care and stay safe.
Take care of yourself. 👍🏼
No - You are doing yourselves a dis-service. Not "long and boring" Nick - Its always honest interesting and informative.
I've been where you are, don't go down an agency route. Get a va, 1000000% dump all emails call handling, paper work etc. It's a game changer ☺️
You don't need to bond if gas or water use incoming plastic pipes as there is no direct contact to the Earth. There was a video on this recently. Think it was Efixx.
So basically no need to bond unless there is an alternative path to Earth
Hey Nick, sorry to hear you were under the weather. I hope the short break allowed you a bit of a reset.
I’m sorry I can’t recommend anyone, but if you’re after someone to help with the general admin side of things, why not ask for someone who can help with all your editing and ‘content’ and also do the secretary bit as well; chances are if someone knows how to edit videos they will have enough basic computer literacy to also take calls and better organise your diary for you. I’m not sure how much luck you’ll have finding someone, but potentially worth a shot?
Thanks as always for the video, and don’t be afraid to take a break if you need one - your health and family come first 👍🏼
Nice to have you back Nick. but wouldnt like your back if you know what i mean
It’s not a breaker , Nick its a rewire-able 15 amp fuse
One of the few situations I'd use a split load board is that situation. Put 3 sockets on each rcd
With fuse box boards now and the quality. I don’t see a reason why people still use split load boards. I can understand the cost aspect but fuse box have brought a decent quality and great price so us a electricians can ensure safety and avoid nuisance tripping and tripping on multiple circuits
@@rjkelectrical6086 I use fusebox I agree. Just saying it's the only time I'd be okay with a split loader
That is what I would do. If all single sockets why not. Total load will be well with in.
Is that the NB10 velocity 2nd fix bag I can see lurking in the background?
We are living in an era of modern day sickness, our grandparents lived in harder times but for us we are living twice as fast and bombarded with modern day living . We need to know when to take time out and bin people around us who are not good for us.
Can I ask what those fittings were? I want to consider them for myself!!!
Just take care of yourself, always look forward to your vids, all the best, stay free,
Its a no brainer regards what you say with regards the RCBO circuits
Bond, earth, earth, bond🤣
I would wago them all in a wiska box and join into existing board!
other board was full dude
Hate trying to get the wires into the choc-blocks on wall lights and other fittings, especially if the cables are short and I can't get a screwdriver in. Does anyone else unscrew them and stick wagos in or is it just me?
Please take care bud,
What exactly is this wall with metal capping made from? Is it literally sheet metal (steel?)
Weird you can have multiple (double/triple/ect) tap wires into each breaker. Here in the USA there are only a few breaker manufactures that permit it, and the breaker will show right on it if you can. However with AFCI(AFDD) required for most all breakers now, you can't do that anymore and only a single wire is permitted per breaker. 😁👍
You can always put a couple of junction boxes ahead of it with wagos.
@@JasperJanssen or more likely, wire nuts!
Arrgghhh Hated those wall lights, I came across a lot of these including at my mum's house, they were lethal in my opinion. Often found the fitting had gone live and fused the circuit by the cables having been stuffed into small gouged out wall recess. The owner would have changed a light and moved the fitting causing stress failure of the circles. As you said the screws were tiny and not fit for purpose. Topped off by normally being on wall papered walls, they were a nightmare. Rant over..great video though.
Send a link to those porcelain wall lights please 🙏
They are great to watch but watch your health and your time for yourself. take time out when you need it
I feel bad watching this, being in the wrong headspace isn’t good or nice, please, have a conversation with your support network, make things right for you, if that means quit CZcams… do it!
Your friends and family need you more than you think! Much love.
To be honest i got tradify because i saw you using it. Ive just started out on my own and it has helped me loads. Not related to the video nick have you or anybody else ever used thermal imaging camera to find stud or joist through plasterboard . Do you think it would work?
If the rooms were different temperatures definitely. Eg looking up from a heated room to an un insulated attic in winter would work. If it was a wall separating two rooms that were the same temperature then no.
not to sure it would work mate, I can see if mine will do it and give you a shot back
C.H Hanson magnetic stud finder. No messing about just a strong magnet to locate the plasterboard screws/nails. My Flir C3 doesn't show studs on thermal imaging.
Nick maybe you should try DNO Callout that is where you are guaranteed to meet the Good, the Bad and the very Ugly
I know where you are at. Thanks for the content, be well.
I enjoy your videos keep it going
Really like your Videos Nick (& Adam)!! It's always good to take time out for mental wellbeing. Take care!!
As a small business it must be hard with regards to you getting sick and Alan has to stay home and to pay his salary.
Lazy fecker I missed my fix🙂. Seriously though if your head isn't in the right space then have a break mate. We aren't going to have a go. We all have bad times. Good to see you getting sorted👍
lol you influenced me to use your 10% discount code...
No dramas on combining those single-socket circuits into fewer RCBOs in my view, your logic is sound.Can't see an argument to maintain them as entirely separate circuits on individual RCBOs.
Agree no need to bond tray, unless it is an extraneous-conductive-part, introducing a potential into the equipotential zone.
Insulated and sheathed cable can be treated as double insulated, according to BS 7671.
Further evidence of this is in how class 2 installations and appliances are supplied, with insulated and sheathed cables!
If you touch the metal capping to the top of your metal back box it will be earthed
I’ve missed my weekly sarcastic comment
Family time is always more important mate. Nothing wrong with having a thew days off mate.
wayo them all together and put them on a single rcbo. 6 socket radial is not big
What a top lad get in nick boss video lad influencer what a shout keeping it real brother 👏
Take it easy Nick, so much shit going on in the world at the moment, Zoom out and look at the issues here... small potatoes man... not worth fretting about, We all have off days, just talk to someone and chill out. 😎👍
👏 ❤
I was cringing at around 1:56 when Adam was unscrewing the fitting with his elbow very close to that statue ornament. It only takes one small slip........
Sorry to hear you have had a rough time. Can I ask why you hold the microphone in your hand, it changes the level a lot, you could clip it on to you or use a lav mic into the Wireless GO then the audio is DELICIOUS.
real life stuff
You need a social media manager. (I'm not one, nor would I want to be, lol).
Well happy belated birthday 😂, don’t need to apologise for taking time out from social media/videos, depression/poor headspace or whatever people want to call it is a b@stard, I suffer from depression at times, I understand what you were saying at start of video, I won’t say “I know how you feel” as everyone experiences it differently!!! People do care about you mate, take it easy and take a break when you need to Nick
Dude keeping your self balanced and healthy is literally the most important thing of all. Glad to see your back & i don't see any reason you couldn't do the multi wire to rcbo or even multi wire to wago to single cabled-rcbo.. as long as its all rated appropriately then there's no issue other than peoples personal opinions.
Do it 3 per mcb
Can tell your down in this video 😞
If you were not an electrician would you go to university to do something else?
💪👍
It's great to see your video content, but life and health must come first. You don't owe us anything. If you need time-out, take it.
Hey Nick, I'm guessing half your struggles are about you trying to be a nice guy all the time. In theory its great, in reality it will burn you out not speaking your true feelings.
