What happened to bulb
Always offer tea/coffee or a glass of water, even the use of the loo, always make tradespeople feel welcome, and they will always do a good job.
@John J Kelly He MUST have a split personality!!😄
Oh yeah. Cause WC facilities and refreshments guarantees good workmanship. Don’t know what these customers were thinking all these years.
If you got someone working in to house and don’t let them use your toilet your a wanker. My mate asked to use the loo guy realised he was taking too long for a piss went mental trying to bang the door down and basically kicked him out of his house for taking a shit 😂😂
Thats so truee
So that's why I've had poor tradesman. I just chuck em a bucket and some stale bread bits I keep for ducks.
5:35 Love the part where Cory pushes the van door into the pebble dash. Jordan, look away.
When I had seen that, went straight down to look for a comment about such 😅
Cory, you did an excellent job, while training Reuben, sorting out the condensate pipe, showing tips & tricks and educating upcoming electricians, Thank you for your work!
I’d be more worried about the apprentice leaning that drill against the kitchen cabinets 😂
He has to learn by doing that's the whole point of being an apprentice
We were running an ethernet cable with my dad at a friend's flat this summer, on a Saturday morning. Long story short, my dad managed to drill through the incoming fiber optics cable, which we didn't notice, until the internet radio went silent :D Fortunately, an other friend of mine (we used to work together at our previous employer) can weld fiber optics and has the right tools for the job (that's his day job), and was kind enough to pop by during the afternoon to weld the thing back up. It's still going strong :)
I had friends here visiting one Friday evening, during which they wanted to check their CCTV to make sure the dogs were fine and behaving.
Device offline.
They thought it weird but put it down to internet or power outage.
Well, it was an internet outage.
Said dogs dug up the fibre conduit where it came in through the garden wall and then chewed through it, of course taking out the internet connection.
Pets 🤷🏻♂️
You are a very lucky lad to have friends with such high level skills. Glad the job could be completed with a good outcome.
@@metrotechguru5863 yes, it was a lucky coincidence. On the other hand, I've been working in the IT/Telecom industry for more than 10 years, so it would be hard to not know someone who could splice fiber optics :) It's not a bad skill to have, I'm considering learning it and buying a splicing machine.
This is why everything in my walls is enclosed in galvanised conduit. 22mm galv, 20mm plastic, then 15mm pipe up the middle, works a treat, and you have to be seriously determined to persist in drilling after you hit it.
Great result! Being in the US I am often amazed at where your consumer units can be located. Insanely tight spaces with water and gas services within in inches, or mm... I've never encountered anything like that here... Good show, keep it coming, and Happy Anniversary!
Same here. That and the anemic size of the panels. So tight!
That copper pipe is for the pressure relief valve. Usually kicks back into the wall to spray the boiling hot water onto the brickwork instead of over someone standing beneath it.
What a place to put the condensate pipe, and I cannot believe where the consumer unit is crazy places they put them in this Country. Well done Cory.
Glad to see father and son back at work 😜 Great seeing how far Reuben has come, he's able to crack on whilst Cory shows us all the cool van tips 👍
I try to be such a customer. Making sure there's coffee, tea, some cookies. The guys putting down the paths in our garden where working for us for about a week. So on the last day I made some "bitterballen". (Dutch deep-fry snack. Like small "kroketten". Try it). Just to show my appreciation for their work.
This was a brilliant video. I really appreciated the close-up view of the consumer unit and Cory's explanation of what he was doing. I also appreciated the "real world" situation of striking a pipe with the drill. These things do happen and how we handle them separates the professionals from the cowboys. Good on you Cory. Poor Reuben didn't get a word in edge-wise on this one, but I know he did a terrific job on the EV charger install.
Nice job, there’s nothing wrong with your unfused spur from the origin supplying the fused spur - it’s in appendix 15 👍
Welcome back Cory and congratulations for (surviving 😀) one year at the AADC (Artisan Angle Drilling Company)! Nice work with the PVC as a drill / rod holder. A couple of long velcro ties would be a good addition to stop the bits rattling around.
Awesome! Thank you!
Drill bit storage tip from a Telco engineer - I use a bit of cable capping tacked onto the wooden rack in the van, slip drill bits into it.
Definatley treat yourself to jet rack for the van let’s you keep you steps on the ceiling best thing I’ve ever bought
The standard of Artisan Electrics is really high! I love the positive vibe and the amount of tips and tricks you have got for us. Keep up the great work. 🤗
Maybe one tip for you, put the little mirror of yours in a good shrinkwrap to stay isolated against the zapp ;)
The drill storage, rather than cutting the end at 90° try cutting it at smaller angle, about 35° and it will hold them better and help rattle a little less whilst driving. That's the way I have always done them in my vans. Just a suggestion. Cheers.
He can also cut a piece out of the pvc holding the rod so it´s more a clamp then a pipe, it would do the same job but much easier getting in&out.
I actually invented a similar storage solution at work, except instead of drill bits in a van, it was pens next to a whiteboard, and instead of PVC pipe I used 20ml piss pots.
Still waiting for the Dragons to call back.
Those drill bits rattling whilst driving will do my head in
Mine too 😂 I hate any rattles in my van. I have some box trunking in mine, and lay them flat, works OK,
Glue a bit of polyurethane foam on the inside of the tube, sorted.
The quality of the work, presentation and camera work is, I think, consistently outstanding on this channel. Really impressive!
These little tips about the consumer unit are why I originally started watching this channel. More tips and explanations please!
Great to see you bk Jordan. I'm sure Cory's been creating some awesome content 👍.
Great content covering all aspects of the job which is appreciated when you are learning to be a Sparky⚡️ Thank Guys & nice one on the 1 year with Artisan Electrics Cory .
Someone’s probably already said, the copper pipe is the safety discharge pipe if the boiler goes over pressure, it’s shaped so that it points back at the wall and saves hot water being discharged over someone walking by.
Glad to see Cory back !!!
Jordan , Cory Reuben and Lee.
Again great content in your video today.
Cory your output this year has been excellent. congrats on your year at Artisan and the future to come.
You have a great head for problem solving and trouble shooting and thinking on your feet.
Would like to to know the types of influences you had growing up to give you the confidence you have and now show at 23.
You emit good feelings out and so its obviously you are getting that back in return.
Your brain is using copious amounts of energy hence the food offerings. But think of the Science (and Gretta)
I like the way you minaturised Max for those close up shots of the consumer unit. Your method of handling the situations as They occur will give Reuben the confidence he needs to handle the unforseen when he turns out as a Journeyman.
"I've got loads of length" cracked me up
Re sds drill bit storage, I saw someone use 2 horse whip holders to clip the drill bits into.
Worth a look!
A trick we used to store cable rods in the van was to use 25mm conduit clips, the plastic tube clips right in
Hi cory that s a grate idea to store very long SDS drill bits on a van I myself had the same problem only not for van storage I have been storing my bit in a long cardboard tube for years until Iast week the cardboard tube broke there seems nothing out there to store long SDS bits then I thought get some drainage pipe cut to sute the length of the SDS drill bits and get two screwed stop ends glue the ends on and some webbing stap rivet it at both ends and you got a case to store your long SDS bits and a carrying strap
Well done Cory and Reuben. Nice work!
Could you do a video of the whole customer journey from when they call to where Dan (not sure about the name) goes to check the house and price the job to the actual job?
Great idea!
I always worked on the protection device(mcb) is there to protect the cable it supplied irrespective of the load on the end
Excellent vlog as always chaps keep up the fantastic work, having nice good customers makes a big difference and yes you do feel you want to do extra for them, take care and best regards mark from Billericay 😀👍🇬🇧
The first 8 minutes is Reuben working and Cory just messing about
You could try using a magnetic on the top part of sds bits to stop them rattling around when you hit a speed bump.
Superb very informative thanks 😊
Great job both guys! I looked at your van on the left side door. I see that shelves should be in back instead of in front of the side door. I recommend it. Cory, you should measure before you drill hole. You got hit by the pvc pipe. Dang! Jordan got a leader made drill hole all the time. Thumbs up! Cheers!
Tip for labelling the parts drawers... In addition to a description, use an alphanumeric designation with letters for throws, and numbers for the columns...
Great video, very educational and informative, funny how you said 3rd year students haven't touched consumer units yet I'm taking the diploma route and I've done my domestic dwelling which is where I learnt about consumer units and the wiring, 18th Ed, Part P and building regs, 2392 and 2919-02. Looking forward to more content! :)
14:35 thats such an apprentice thing to do hahaha love it
Great video though guys, love the honesty of the pipe incident - happens to all of us eventually.
What foreshadowing
“These are the kind of customers you want to do extra jobs for”
Becomes the customers plumber
😂😂😂
ive always offered tea/coffee/cold drink to whatever tradie ive got round because its good manners and they are doing work for me, regardless of how much im paying for the work.
Happy workiversary Cory!
5:34 - Jordan, dock his wages for that van door respray. :P
😆
If you're drilling very close to copper pipes, Put a metal plate or something similar inbetween the drill bit and the pipe to avoid any accidental contact.
Wow, this is very informative
congratulations to Corey for his first year anniversary with Artisan Electrics , . he a great caricature .
@@nickhickson8738 yes sorry
Nice to see some installs were compromises have to be made. 👍 Bad luck with the pipe!
Thanks 👍
Top notch mate great video😎👏
Been doing the drill bit holder with 40mm pipe for years Cory 🤣🤣🤪
hi Jordon hoping to see more of you on the tools missing that alot mate
Electricians are always complaining about plumbers doing electrical work... now the shoe is on the other foot :D
A bit of packing foam would stop the bottom of your drill storage solution destroying the paint save the van floor as well but slit is a nice touch
So I updated down lights that have been in our house since built in 2004. It had ip20 in the bathrooms not fire rated and single layer insulation (cut too far back) I presume these were installed by an electrician when build but have the rules changed? because I thought this was shocking. It was also covered by insulation with no protective cover I put in Lap fire rated ip65 for bathrooms to replace them. Great video as reassured me I did the right thing ❤
Just imagine the snacks you'll have the nearer you get to Christmas!! All your customers will be trying to out do the ones before. Great vid as always...
the copper pipe on the outside is for the presure release of the boiler - so it can vent to the outside if there's to much presure in the radiators when they are heating up and the white plastic pipe is the condensate pipe which is from when the boiler cools down and it also looks like the boiler was moved from the kitchen to upstairs and that hole was the old presure safely copper pipe hole cos there's a 3-4in hole thats been filled in where the old boiler vent used to be
That was sick with drill bit holder 😉
Excellent
Shhhh no on tell Cory every plumber is ahead of him with 4inch stood up in the back
Everyone will drill through a pipe at some point. The first time I done it in 17 years being a spark was a few month back. Was a gas pipe too
Drill some saddles in. Drill bits slot in lovely 😁
The reason the condensate pipe is increased externally is to prevent it freezing . 22mm elbow externally will freeze without insulation
Love the drill bit storage just so you know there are plenty of electricians on RUclips that I've seen do that so you're not the first
Someone needs to remake the eastenders theme tune with cory banging the door on the house 😂
Tough job but very well sorted.
Cory... long drill bit storage ? long spirit level bag, simples.
I used to use them for my Super rods before Super rod had bags for their rods as they only supplied rods in the plastic tubes which got brittle in low temperatures.
In fact, I recall a conversation at an Elex show suggesting the same to a member of their staff, even showing them the blue Irwin level bag I was using....and still use ! that was quite a few years ago now..judhing by the vehicle I had back then, maybe pre 2005.
The long drill bits in such a bag do not rattle around like when in a piece of PVC pipe.
By the way, what was the problem with the van that always broke down?
Think I missed that somewhere.
Great to see a company that doesn't screw the customer just because they could have done. Good work chaps!
I hate to break it to you but it is well known that suppliers add things to your list to boost up the price, I'm not saying this is the case with your supplier but most if not all add sneaky things on, they have it drilled into them to do this by management. FYI
It is allowed under electrical regs to take one spur of the mcb for the ring
I’ve always been told that a rotary isolator would need to be fitted locally to the charging point? What are your views on this? Thanks
Nice work corbert 👌🏼
The copper pipe at high level, under the boiler flue is possibly the PRV outlet pipe. and was bad luck hitting the pipe, but in all fairness, it should have been the larger size through the wall to inside, to comply with Part L of the building regs, but these things happen, Good solution for your drill bits tho, the simple ideas are the best. Nice job tho :) and nice customers make the job so much better. well done guys.
How did you protect the EV cable from the hot C/Heating pipes? You entered on the left and had to get over to the Right presumably behind all the C/Heating pipes. I would be concerned if they were touching anywhere?
New intern you've got doing the intros to the videos is good on camera 😂
Great video as always. Have to say the position of that consumer unit within that small cupboard was not exactly ideal. I bet that gets completely covered with gear once you guys leave lol.
Did you use a swa for that installation? If so how was it terminated to the board?
I found your delivery very articulate.
Really enjoyed watching.
No, you can see Reuben feeding it through a stuffer at the charger. Assume it's hi-tuff, never used it myself.
Lovely job! What's the reason for changing the RCD? 🤔 I'm a 3rd year apprentice and never actually fitted an EV-charger, if you could shed some light 👍🏼
Would you not also consider changing one of the RCD sides/sets over to RCBO's. Gain a couple of ways by removing the RCD, ?
Dear Cory that was one hell of a place to work on the consumer unit built for dawarf electricians ha ha totally very bad planning in the first place keep the good work up bye for now Michael doncaster
Is it possible that the condensate pipe went to the floor and back up to create a water seal/valve to keep outside smells out?
Doubt it because there'll be a condensate trap in the boiler to prevent sewer gases entering the property.
well done cory
The copper pipe up top is the PRV for boiler.
Top video 👍🏼
we was on a massive 7 bed house referb in chigwell a while back we was there for months and we never got offered 1 cup of tea :(
Generally the more well off they are the less they offer. There's a reason why they have money. It's usually because they aren't willing to part with it. You're more likely to be looked after by the customers whom have less.
That’s so true. Just finished doing a job for a top banker that never even allowed us to use the loo. No tea no coffee. We didn’t expect. Did a job for his neighbour on same street who was just working at Tesco got offered everything under the sun…
What would you recommend as the best survey for EV charging points?
Cory and tomthespark all day for me!
Do a section on working live in older boards where ip2x wasn't thought of ?
Hi Cory how did you manage to terminate the data cable & install the CT onto the line conductor, I thought watching other videos of you installing Hypervolt EV Chargers, you would normally install the CT Clamp directly in the meter cupboard onto the Permanent Live Conductor
I suppose the CTs could go on the tails at the consumer unit end which would have made more sense in this case.
@@Daniells1982 many thanks, where did you terminate the ct?
@@marktimson6035 not quite sure what u mean. They clamp around the outside of the tails.
@@Daniells1982 sorry, when I've watched other videos of you installing Hypervolt EV Chargers, you've run a separate CAT 5 cable directly from the charger to the outside meter box, on this install, did you run an ev cable with cat 5 built in, if so from an electricians point of view, if you did put the ct on the incoming live conductor in the consumer unit is this method just as effective than installing the ct directly within the meter box?
Push a piece of foam into the pipe or wrap with velcro ... it will stop the bits rattling around ... it drives me nuts when shyte rattles in the van.
that is probably the worst place for the meter box - next to the high pressure hoses...
Does anyone know what type of work trousers they are Corey is wearing? Thanks
Blaklader
Craftsman Trousers Stretch X1900
Great video 😎
Thanks 😁
That should your drill bits a old fashion way of storing long items , A short of PVC good going many have found it after going years of not thinking before I am surprise someone has not marketed the idea.
We all would do the same with the old imm circuit
Cory should have just used the Pringles tubes! 😂
That’s a 17th Edition DB. Why oh why was that DB not relocated to an accessible position at the same time?
Where can I find the video of the Cory’s road trip?
