Confessions of an Electrician...

Lisa Miles

So while we’ve not been able to log into the community (you can do so now if you didn’t already know) I’ve been keeping myself out of mischief Blush by going through some of the discussion topics on the old Wiring Regs forum and came across this one: Walking off site where some of you were sharing stories about your experiences with client's pets while on the job. 


So I thought it would be a bit of fun to ask you to share some of your funny/bizarre or just weird stories (keeping it relatively clean and protecting the privacy of others please!) from any jobs you’ve been on or done.


… And I’ll send some swag to the author of the story that gets voted the ‘Most helpful/liked’ from the community so don't forget to hit that 'Good Answer' link on any that make you chuckle! (Log in required)

    My family home when I was in my teens was on what had been part of the Abergavenny estate and the local pub is the Nevill Arms, where we did building work on numerous occasions.


    During one spruce up and redecoration a electrician left a one gang surface pattress box on a window sill, the painters carefully cut three coats of paint around it before he picked it up and took it away to use elsewhere. The painters had assumed it was for socket outlet for a table lamp, despite not being screwed down or wired and weren’t very happy when they had to patch the paintwork in.
