We moved away from metal capping and used plastic oval conduit held to the wall using conduit crampets to reduce the possibility of nicking the PVC sheath./s.

LOL. Legh will understand this.

Back in the 80’s when I was a subbie carpenter on new housing sites the two Steve’s were working for Big Bert as labour only subbies.

To hold the window boards in place we were using fixings that looked like Meccano screwdrivers with a thread on the end of them, these were screwed into the back of the window boards  and fixed to the wall with galvanised steel fencing staples, then the dryliners were supposed to put a dab of adhesive over them when they stuck the plasterboards to the wall.

The guy I was subbing to supplied and the fixings and was outraged because the two Steve’s were dipping into the big box of fencing staples taking them to clip the meter tails and main earth conductors to the walls behind the dry lining.

He was venting his rage whilst we had a cup of tea, I told him I had already cussed them for nicking the staples and also for bringing meter tails up the wall behind the dry lining without any indication of where they were right where we were go to be fixing the hand rails up the side of the stairs.

When Big Bert retired the two Steve’s took the contracts on and built it up to being one of the top fifty electrical contractors in the country, no longer doing the work onsite themselves ?
