    Nice job mate looks superb,
    I did a gig in a pub on the first day they opened, horrendous electrics. One single socket in the whole place had to hang all our gear off that. The install was that old there were still BS 546 sockets hanging about the place. Twin and earth tapped off running everywhere proper bodge. Dread to see the state of the CU!

    Ok, so I’ve not been subscribed for very long, but if that’s your idea of a ‘not the tidiest of boards’ board, then I gotta see the ones that your more than happy with. The only big RUclips electricians who do boards to similar neatness are Nick Bundy and his apprentice Adam, and Jordan & Corey from Artisan. Dan from DSS may do them fairly neat but cannot remember for sure. I can imagine that job really tested your patience!

    • @Cablesmith
      @Cablesmith  3 года назад +6

      Haha I’ll take that as a bug compliment, but don’t get me wrong, I may have worded it a bit wrong.
      I think I’m rather neat with them, but I get them done quick and don’t really take my time hugely on them.
      I’ve seen electricians have a laser level run through so all the cables line up perfectly !! That’s what I meant by I’m not that over the top 😂
      as long as I’d be happy to find my own work on an EICR, then I’m happy with it

    Definitely fantastically neat board - nearly as good as mine 🤦🏾🤣Did it have outside pub garden lighting that’s an area which has serious risk around it and subject to damage with traffic and potential loss of earth continuity which we saw in recent David Savary post can be a death trap. Pubs are an installation where I think at a minimum 1-year EICR should be a requirement - massively high traffic areas where risk of damage to installations is very high. With a regularly tested installation the repeat EICR work could be faster and cheaper at least if things have not changed much.

    • @Cablesmith
      @Cablesmith  3 года назад

      One day Math, I’ll be on your level of neatness 👌🏼 this pub does have outdoor lighting, however they are only floodlights high level and has nothing within reach of anybody.
      It also has no sockets the general public can access, other than behind the fruit machines, and the Spurs for hand dryers.
      It’s actually very public(drunk) 😃 friendly but as always, all installations have some risk if they go unmaintained.
      I’m going to be keeping on top of this particular pub for the foreseeable future anyway, so naturally it will be the best maintained pub on the planet 👊🏼😂

      This was the question I was expecting first too ! 😃
      It was in fact a Schneider RCBO board and type A RCBO’s so fully up to date.
      It was just in such a mess, there was holes all over it, all the earth fly leads were cut to length that only just reached, I’ve used one of them boards before and found they have barely any space anyway. And Being a commercial premises the requirement for surge protection.
      I just went for the easiest option to just swap it 😃
      The key switch however only had one hole in the side so I just bunged that up and reused.
      Well spotted tho, it would have been a perfectly good board otherwise

    Great job mate. How long did it take you start to finish?

      Thanks mate, we spent 7 days here. We also done a fair bit of other work here tho that I didn’t cover in the video

    The "fans" you refer to - are they actually the air conditioning evaporators to keep the cellar nice and cool? If so, why would you WANT to turn them off overnight? Seems like you'd want them running at all times to keep everything nice and cool.

      Yep they are air conditioning units really. I just called and labelled them fans as that’s what the owner referred to them as and I always try and label things up with what they know.
      As for turning them off, 🤷🏻‍♂️ no idea tbh, it’s not my game. I just did as requested really 😃

      I will add that the cellar was bloody freezing anyway without them on for the last 12 months 😂 and all the beer runs through a (don’t quote me on this) “nitrogen” cooler when it comes through the lines to the taps also.
      Not sure if he said nitrogen but it was something like that

      @@Cablesmith probably a glycol chiller/wrap thing. I've seen em before where the beer lines are wrapped in glycol to keep everything cool en route to the tap.
      Neat job though - and yeah got to do as you're told by the customer!! Keep up the good work! 👍

      Think you will find the fans keep the new barrels cool then when connected it goes through a separate chiller except the real ales ,most cellar's underground are cool any way,hence turn them off at night.
