[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 458001, member: 1408"] On the subject of carrot - ups this one was on a new Halls of Residence block 24 storey block of student flats . As an apprentice I'd worked on the site but in plant rooms , boiler rooms & public areas ............[I][B]didn't 1st fix any flats [/B][/I]. Towards the end they get me on fixing Dimplex fan heaters in flats . No one mentioned that the flush pyros were all pre- fabricated & made off to size for each flat & often if they were too long they just made a loop at a box . Pyros were held in glue on flat clips that were fitted the day before wiring , then plastered over . So I was launched with a mountain of heaters , DP switches and a drill with which to drill though the pyros feeding the heaters. :wacko: :C I did three , then opened the meter boxes to power them up and got three nice bangs from each flat . Lucky really I didn't do the whole floor before switching on . Oh & don't say why didn't I test because virtually no testing was done then other than meggering every pyro at first fix.
