  • well, the fixed wiring that is already there is pretty poorly done - locations of switch is poor  and use of surface boxes in places that push the cooker forward etc.

    BUT, the actual job done, connect cooker to existing outlet plate has been sensibly executed, nothing has been made any worse so the legal minimum is met, though as per the other thread this week, the chance to verify all is well behind the cooker plate has been passed by.

    If it was mine  might offer to relocate a few bits, but if the request was 'just make it work' then the job is about the right level.


    He makes a great song of the testing for dead, but if he tested for live and then dead he'd get a free polarity test. The meter clearly does resistance so why not verify earthing. one beep...
