Personally Marking Your Work.

Evenin, All, 


I sound like Dixon of Dock Green. I have just been rewiring an old holiday chalet built in the 1950s.    I often wonder just who wired it up originally and just what type of person he was. I know that the ceiling joists were hand drilled with a brace and bit.    Sometimes I find old empty cigarette packets under the floor of old houses, or old empty pipe tobacco packets.    I have started leaving my initials and a date in some of my new installations so that in say 50 years time somebody will find it and say, well this was installed by Z, isn't it old fashioned, but it lasted well.


Do you date anything or initial anything apart from light bulbs, (lamps) for others to find in the future?

    That's so we could track you down for latent defects when we executed the contracts under seal (12 years liability). It was pretty common in specifications for switchboards to be permanently and indelibly marked with the maker and installer


    So come on then - did you used to be out and about in a hoody, tagging up the 07.15 from Thetford to Norwich with the Breckland Massive
