Afternoon all,
You may remember I was in the process of rewiring my house (well, most of it anyway). BCO came out to inspect first fix and approved it.
I finaly managed to get round to fitting the new CU and connecting it all up and testing it. OK, so I probably shouldn't have connected it to the supply until BC have approved it but I wanted to see it orking (and also needed it working for obvious reasons so had to really.
There are a few pics missing which I'll add when I find them. Basically, the original cabling came down in two places. One right in the corner, all stuffed into a single piece of conduit and the other at an angle down the wall. Like I say, I'll post pics of this when I find them.
Here's the old install:
And here's the new install:
And the new cabling. The loose cables you see on the right are now clipped to the wall - I just hadn't got round to doing that when i took the picture.
I was quite proud of the end result and pleased with how tidy it is considering it's a DIY job.
Can anyone see anything immediately obvious that could cause it to fail insection? I've got a couple of pics of the finished CU with cover on which again I'll upload when I find them. I've stuck a great big yellow sticker on the cover warning of mixed wiring too.
Regards
Fred
