New Friends!

On Friday we were working over in Edwinstowe, Nottingham. We had been asked to take a look at some outside lights which were permanently on unless the entire circuit was switched off at the consumer unit. This was an easy one to sort out although I think the owner of the property had already had another "electrician" in to take a look. It was obvious that some of the wiring had been messed around with from when it was working previously. The other part of the job was to investigate why the electric gates had stopped working. The customer said they hadn't worked in a long time but wanted to see if the problem could be rectified. We opened up the control panel and it was totally filled with spiders webs and nests. Not a problem in itself, we get used to this in our game! The spider hidden in the back of all this though was huge, really huge for here in the UK at least.

Another interesting day for the guys.
