Attempted to get to Luton today for work but had to turn back having gone 2 miles! I'm working on an architect's home offices and studio, installing all the usual things (lighting, consumer unit, etc.) It's a bit of a hack but worth it, since his business is very exciting.
My BNI chapter meeting is cancelled tomorrow...weather again.
I've been developing the business installing power for stair lifts in the home counties. Very exciting, and profitable work.
The children are arguing, it's snowing outside, and I've abandoned my van! What joy.
I've also just joined My Local Electrician: http://synapticaelectricalsolutions.blogspot.com/2010/01/mylocalelectric...

1 comment postedSynaptica Electrical Solutions (http://www.electricianbishopsstortford.co.uk/), i.e. me, has been working on a garage conversion ( to a play room) in Bishop's Stortford in Hertfordshire. Rewiring the garage, adding sockets and lights (amongst other things), and moving the bonding. I replaced the consumer unit last year for the customer, so they (being happy with my work, naturally) called me back to do some more.
Simple job but...I HATE CELOTEX! Why?..here are my reasons why:
1. The dust when you cut it. I'm sure it's going to be the asbestos for the 21st Century.
2. It won't go back in place after you've clipped your cables. You have to channel it out, which creates more dust.
3. The dust! It gets in your hair, your tools (even when they're at the opposite end of the room), your sandwiches, your tea.
4. The smell when you cut it!
5. Did I mention the dust and the smell.
Apart from that, the job was straghtforward. It was also round the corner from my house, and the customer was very happy with my labours also. Best bit was discovering that Dorringtons the bakers (which was next door to site) did a soup and a sandwich for 2.99. Piping hot beef ghoulash, just what you need on a cold, winter's day. It tasted marvelous, especially with celotex dust mixed in with it!
