Lost Electrical Skills. Rough Justice.

Zoomup
I went to give an estimate today. Fuse board renewal. A holiday chalet. Some family members had stayed, aged early 20s. A rewireable fuse had previously blown on a lighting circuit. The young guests had no idea how to replace the fuse wire even though  a new fuse wire card was there.


 I am feeling very old. I am listening to Bananarama's "Rough Justice," 12 inch version, 1984.

It still sounds good on vinyl.


Fuse wire is dead....long live fuse wire.


Oh, to be young again.

    As we have diverged a little onto prefabricated and modular buildings, it should be pointed out that Portacabin and Terrapin are not just different brand names but different TYPES of structure.


    Portacabin are known primarily for the manufacture of fully prebuilt structures that are ready for immediate use. Size is limited to that which can be transported by road. They are available either empty, or ready fitted out for uses such as site offices, mess rooms, and even living space. A crane is needed to off load a portacabin.


    Terrapin are known primarily for prefabricated buildings, supplied flat packed for assembly on site. Site work is minimal compared to a conventional building, but SOME site work is required. Almost any size building can be constructed from modules that are transported by road. 

    A crane is often used to unload the modules, but in an emergency each piece can be unloaded by a team of men.
