    Just to clarify it was not intended as a temporary fix, when I quizzed them about it they said it was fine, that was until I mention getting the building inspector in to check, then they offered to come & rectify. They were told under no circumstances was the original electrician to come in the...

    Builders Installing Outside Tap - Looks Like A Bodge To Me

    Is this acceptable practice for an outside tap? At the far end it's T'd into the mains supply, then concreted into the floor of what will be the conservatory. I think it's a bodge, but am I being over picky?

    Whoops, I've accidently bought another one......

    Here's some quick pics.. The respray it's had at some point is terribly dry and orange peeled, it's kill or cure. I clayed the paint on the left rear 1/4 panel and attacked it with some Menz IP on a very hard polishing sponge I had knocking around using the Kesrel rotary...
