I had a weekend off last weekend. Somebody requested a picture of how I'm wiring the sockets. Here we go:
Before someone says the back box isn't grounded, it is. The reason I haven't run an additional ground wire to the backbox is that these sockets (MK Logic Plus) don't seem to hold 3 wires securely. They do, eventually, but they are a massive faff and it's very hit and miss. The backbox is, however, grounded via the faceplate screws.
I've also been securing wires in chases, I went with hot glue which seems to be working very well. They'll be further secured with plaster once we patch up.
I ran a 1.5mm cable through a very very fiddly route including running through a beam. It took a while but the result is far better than the original cable route.
A few more sockets are in, and 1/3rd of the house is a few hours away from being done.
I'll be testing continuity of the existing runs soon, and then moving on to the next section of the house.
Nothing is connected, it's all still just decorative wiring.
I'm here for advice and support, not judgement. So please, if you don't have something constructive to add, please just refrain from posting. If the advice is "don't do it yourself", this advice has already been offered, thank you.
Thank you to those who are providing constructive criticism! It is very valuable to me.
