Some Pictures from Todays Work

[The_Scotty]

Here a couple of pics I took of things I discovered today at work (I know how much you all love pics).

Now I am no Electrician, far from it, but its clear to me the serious, and dangerous, faults with this. The back box pictured was buried in 3/4" of plaster with no trace that it existed until we stripped the plaster off the wall.
Furthermore the wall (and plaster) were soaking from a problem with the external wall above. The plug was used for a fan for a heater and a dishwater, the screw for the neutral wires inside had been overtightened and had snapped.

Have you seen worse than this?

Imagine popping down to the basement only to be faced with that lot

Better still, imagine turning up for your 2391 practical and being told "here is your test board"....

TBH that doesn't look to bad to me, poorly labeled and a bit messy because of loads of alterations but I don't see any glaringly bad stuff.
