  • A very challenging job changing a fuseboard in Belsize Park and replacing the consumer unit. Took 2 days to complete the fuseboard but was happy with the end result. Looks pukka i think! WINNER OF THE LAST COMPETITION WAS - SilcaClipz

    Really good videos, keep them coming, i enjoy seeing them, I can relate in a couple of stuff, I'm from Nicaragua and I live in United States (Florida) and some requirements are likely the same some others are different, from your side of the world, but we can all agree on one thing, it's an amazing and beautiful trade to get in to, my tools are Milwaukee as well, my brother got me into them and now I just fell in love with them, let's face it, when you're on your own and you need to finish the job, those are the right tools for it. Greetings Tom.

    @williameldridge6873 5 лет назад

    Tom and Dave you are both doing a great job. I live across the pond and I'm breaking into the electrical business as a retirement job. I've found the videos informative even though I'm having a little trouble understanding your terminology and humor. I have found that you have too many "Arm Chair Quarterbacks" in your viewing audience, remember if your not part of the solution your part of the problem "Fellow Sparks". It is easy to throw stones when your sitting in the stands. We also have a problem with the younger generation not wanting to work in the "Trades". Some of the major things that causes them to shy away from it is the "Old Crotchety Bastards" (master electricians that are in debt to all there ex-wives and can't retire), the hard work and little pay. I will part by saying keep up the good work Tom I look forward to the next videos when the "Third seat" will be filled.

    I had to work my Bank Holiday too, but I always think it is nice to work a bank holiday and take it off another weekend when the Motorways are nice and clear, and the beaches are less crowded. Take off a Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday break if you can, to make up for losing your bank hols. What a nice neat install.

    This is the first video of yours I've ever seen and I can't believe that's an acceptable state for a wiring panel to be in. No wonder you're pulling it out. Electrical work looks very different than what I'm used to seeing in America.

    • @krashd
      @krashd 5 лет назад

      The fact Americans seem to loathe any form of regulation and have a lot of very old buildings of their own makes me doubt that every building in your country has tip-top wiring.
