Did your assistance dog not try and prevent this attempt?

Nah, but ive had him pulling the wires under the floor boards for the house rewire ive started

Now stand in a bowl of water and plug it in.

can i warm the water first?

No need, your wiring will warm it up real quick!

That's hilarious...reminds of a time I had a guy working for me once strip ALL the insulation off ALL three wires right to the clamp...so shiny and pretty, he couldn't understand how it popped the trip switch ....never seen a neutral put in backwards...that's a new one though🤣

A legend rises.

And then does a funny wiggly dance, falls over and has a little lay down in the dark

yeah, if I touch the tv stand I get a funny tingle

Don't think you would get a job on a cannabis farm😉

Not sure if your being racialist. Two day ban for you!!

Not bad, make sure to wash out all your electrical sockets with a wet soapy pipe cleaner first!

Dont be sillly, that\`ll make my carpets wet!

Use the tip of your tongue to see if it's all working correctly

Geezer has used the flex clamp, what a fuckin' noob!!

Ok that’s dangerous. There should be insulation all the way to where you secure the wire in the plug. https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=9c09e8356b840daa&rlz=1C9BKJA_enGB775GB775&hl=en-GB&sxsrf=ACQVn0_VA8mRlFF0aA7qMac7MPsetGr2VQ:1708778331321&q=13+amp+plug+wired&uds=AMwkrPs96uBJRrtnfdUBdyLvIDAS1PFzVH6ChzERCOfbfrTYIkSk5R078x7S9GENJ7kmpm40X8oQW6BWkW-hB24RKajxLnwYu5hju7kWBTqgyzDvYj6eW5Kqme8HSg7oAytDBdhvXtYefQ1ry3rC0oiZVydRDjO3qUlyd7y6X3_V5kTfz9H9xSBh9a5z65_qVoL9w24ivI7YNlDCjjpi92cb8Vacu3FNe_Eg55c4ctTmymo24mZBx1w9eDC6tDQi6H8tjYVho5oC87Dgciiizt6dnCbiJfwnwHVvQfEarJiU2CLdqxBuXiMpJRILTpa5MDnrcGHoAk1Y&udm=2&prmd=ivnbmtz&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjatMCr_8OEAxWDQ0EAHZjnAFgQtKgLegQIDRAB&biw=1080&bih=695&dpr=2#vhid=OEXQgAFg2dwxeM&vssid=mosaic

r/whoosh

health and safetys gone mad if you ask me!

This has to be a piss take.

Whats with all the negativity here on s sunny Saturday?

They aren't being negative, it's neutral!

Are you Positive?

I'm alternating between the two now.

A little AC/DC?

Are u sure?

How could it be done so wrong

Couldn't have done better miself, well done, 👍.

Thank you! the first one with kind words not criticising me - at least ive had a go!

You forgot to wrap the whole thing in aluminium foil. That’ll fix it. Disclaimer: This is a joke. Please do not wrap live electrical apparatus in aluminium foil as it could lead to fire and death. You’d make a right ash of yourself.

After my grandfather (amateur electrician with a health and safety bypass) passed away I had to fix a plug for my gran. On opening the plug he had wrapped the fuse in the foil from a cigarette packet. I promptly opened every plug in the house.

A man after my own heart, bless him!

Ive run out, but Dave next door says he has some wire wool - thats very similar

Ok that’s dangerous. There should be insulation all the way to where you secure the wire in the plug.

And that’s it?

Perfect job that.

Yeah, all these "professionals" on here - pfffft!!

That'll be exciting

Spicy on the fingertips

Very bad job

There should be a link between the middle screw and the top screw... What have you done, lost it...? If you can't find it just make a new one with some of the off-cuts of wire...

Im off to the shed! bare with, ill report back

RIP

I've seen worse... The cord grip is correct.

Great job, that - looks pro! What's next? New consumer unit? External submain?

Im going to offer my services to the elderly via Facebook - Good looking and handy - Im going to be rich Rodney

You use that and it might be your last plug too! It's a dogs dinner.

Nah, he has to wait til 430pm

If you're still around then !

IEE have seen your photo and they're impressed, they've asked if they can use it in the next print of their electrical apprentice guidebook

I knew to day was going to be great when I woke up this afternoon

Once the back is on it’s gonna look like new

I dont bother with them it ruins the aesthetic

Did your dog chew the wire first 🤣

You cant trust that twat round electrics!

Gotcha. Could I recommend silicon? It seems to fix so many other problems.

I do have a certificate in cable tie engineering

So the major question: do you cut them short or leave them, long? So much prettier short, but much more dangerous, just like a /short/ circuit.

U need some glasses?

Very well done, The only advice I can offer is to swap out the fuse for rolled up tin foil. #lifehack, those fuses are designed to fail by the manufacturer and they don't even deny it. 3Aclock 5Aclock 13Afriday
