I haven't got the time for such an onerous task as trying to explain things to you. Ban all sheds. I apologise for my tone and would be most grateful if you would undertake the onerous task of explaining this the above to me? Thank you

I never said complied, but that is the fact. 1 RCD was fitted at the head of the board on all TT installations and one RCD was fitted in split load boards on all others (pre 2008) Don't remember the NIC ever picking me up on it for being wrong. I suppose I should've gone to Wickes and...

I fail to see how one RCD is any less safe than 2? and what does dividing installations in to circuits have to do with this anyway? The installation would no doubt be divided in to circuits. It's how many RCD's are required to protect those circuits we are on about. Answer = How many circuits...

RF Lighting. One working RCD will do the job and keep you just as safe! Two RCD's are an industry standard (that doesn't comply with regs) to stop ALL circuits tripping out! Well with 2 RCD's fitted half the board is till going to trip. He was looking for the job to be done cheaper. 1 RCD...

All circuits on A TT installation have to be covered by an RCD. So just move the RCD up the board and make sure that all the circuits after it are protected by it. Won't cost u hardly anything then. So what if it aint got 2 RCD's (as is now common, with 17th edition installations). These 2...

Apstys. What do u mean thinks? I am. It's because I am and I see work that has been carried out by idiots like you, jack of all trades, that I feel so passionate about it.

Electrical work comes under building regs. Why can't I build an extension on my own house without them being involved? Closed shop. Only think work should be carried out by competent trained people in the same way as gas work. For god sake read the initial question, the bloke asking didn't have...

T1T. If building regs down apply to DIY, then why did I need them when I built my extension? Surely if what you are saying is true, then I'd only need planning permission.

Electricity kills. Does it have to be 100's to matter. Is one or two deaths satisfacory? You've obviously no idea what a 4 year electrical training course involves, so your comment on training means nothing to me.

Work carried out in a bathroom is notifiable under part P. Doesnt say with the exemption of DIY.

FFS you're encouraging people to break the law! Justify that, rather than coming out with some poor attempt at philosophy.

How am I being *****? For raising real and valid points. It's ***** like you that think they know it all who cause most of these problems in the first place. Answer the point I've raised about encouraging people to partake in work only allowed to be carried out by a competent person instead of...

And how do you know he was qualified? Did you ask to see his certificates? NO. In 18yrs I've never been asked for them once. So who did the best wiring in your house, if the worse was done by this so called qualified professional? Maybe you? After seeking advice or a wiring diagram on here.
