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?

    What, and be seen by the transport police? I  preferred the overnight mineral wagons myself, less chance of being spotted. I ripped my hood on some security fencing by signal N.44, that was a shame. The officer and I never did find that injured stray dog. But if you are every driving past the new roundabout near to Aylesham on the A.140 you may see some fine artistic work. Also some marvellous hand art under the floorboards of many local houses on cables and also inside L.E.D. luminaires. Somebody will be rich in the future, after my death no doubt, when I am discovered. I just hope that the mineral wagons aren't scrubbed too hard in the automatic track-side flailing whirling brush washers.
