Treading on ones toes!

If the water had not been there......

external influence

Hmmmm, but I wouldn't expect water to be there.....

Something external can affect anything, but shall I have IP65 lights in my living room just incase someone throws a drink at them influencing them externally?

I wouldn't really class damp or water in a subfloor void as unexpected. It's sloppy workmanship which has caused the fault.

Ah the luxury of being able to do this without him pitching in:

To all those reading this, take no notice of Salad's "analogy" of lights and drinks - he's being a t**t again. Those JBs should not have been lying on the ground - the reality of external influences there should be pretty obvious to anyone with common sense.

It's a water leak which caused the fault, but the placement of the JBs could have been avoided.

As I said earlier, I agree that they shouldn't have just been left laying on the ground as it's not entirely blameless.

If you have me on ignore, just ignore me.

Calling someone a tit is no way to conduct a technical discussion or try to win anyones affections simply because you disagree and can't just say 'disagree'.

Yes, how adult of him to yet again derail a thread with namecalling.

Fantastic........... Not laughed so much for a while.....you certainly tickled me with that one

Personally I'd say that while the subfloor isn't intended to be wet, it's a fairly predictable situation - all it needs is a blocked drain, or very heavy rainfall, burst pipe, ... I've even seen one that's tidal, you could look down where some boards had been lifted and see the water level go up and down with the tide

So putting a junction box on the subfloor would be wrong as it is foreseeable that sooner or later it will get wet.

The analogy with throwing drinks around isn't valid - at least not in this discussion. However it would be true to say that the potential for water inside the property should be considered - eg, all other things being equal, it wouldn't make sense to put the CU where it could get flooded if the bath overflows and so on.

I don't have you on ignore - it's the other way around.

If you carry on, you're going on ignore

There you go again, and there you go on ignore.

If you say so.

Imbecile.
