I'm not sure about your "but" - perhaps I was not clear enough since I was actually agreeing with you that, even with medical accidents/mistakes, making claims against insurance is only really appropriate (since that's what the insurance is for) when, regardless of issues of 'blame/liability', there are massive financial implications of the accident/mistake.@JohnW2 yes, I would agree for something as serious as a medical accident. But, for my own case, there's no harm done (hopefully!) and it will be a relatively (dirty, cold, wet) simple task to repair.
Yes, but it wasn't 'on the day' of him starting. He'd visited a couple of weeks prior and I'd shown him the cable runs then.Did you point out to the gardener that there was an underground cable where the work was being done?
Looks good. What's the recommended depth these days? I wonder how many cables like that one originate from CUs with no RCD protection. I know of a greenhouse that's warmed on very cold nights by an extension lead threaded through an airbrick. Not mine I hasten to add but probably OK if the socket is on a protected circuit (not too sure about that though). It's just next to the house so 3 metres max and he does cover it with a small tarp.
The heater is one of those 1KW greenhouse ones which just keep frost at bay. To be honest he's got so much plastic insulation in there I doubt he needs it. He starts his tomato seeds in February and is still picking in November. He definitely has a modern CU with RCDs and keeps saying that he'll do it properly sometime soon.
