NICK,
I have had a few apprentices over the years, you want to hold onto him his attitude is spot on he wants to be there and learn from you. You will do well in the future with him.
As I've said before, you're the kind of electrician that can be trusted to do a professional job, not the "it's under the floorboards - nobody will see it" approach as happens a lot with some trades. Adam is a great guy - he's lucky to have you and you're lucky to have him.
To reiterate the previous comment from Anthony Bragg , top top marks for your apprentice he's keen and only want's for you to do well, also keep the good work up on sharing your day to day experiences I certainly know as a fellow spark how difficult it must be, huge thumbs up mate.
Adam is coming on leaps and bounds. I wish I never left the game 20yrs ago..finally getting my bottom in gear and getting back in to it. I hope my boy finds a boss like you Nick to show him the ropes and give him some great opportunities. Love the vids, keep it up.
Keep working hard Adam it has its rewards 👍
A bag of chocolate chip brioche and a can of caffeine no less
What more could an apprentice want... a less bent screwdriver?
Great attitude from Adam, carrying N Bundy electrics all on his own :)
Think Adam did more work than Nick 😄
I always enjoy your videos, you're a decent sparky with good knowledge on the regs - with practical interpretations. I also particularly like how well you treat Adam.
It’s nice to see that you show the process needed to get to the light fittings via floor board removal and watching how it’s achieved. Also for some viewers they get to see the ceiling from above and see the Lath and Plaster that’s is still common place in many older houses. as most you tubers don’t show this part as they think it to be boring, yet I like to see how different people tackle that situation as not all houses are the same. Keep up the good work and Adam seems to have a great work ethic which is rare to find these days👍
Hi Nick,
I enjoy your video's keep them coming. As an old spark from the 60's I use rip out loads of that old lead cable from the 30's it was old then, they used to run in metal star boxes clamped around the lead sheathed that was the earth occasionally if it wasn't a full rewire we would use 14swg copper wire to maintain earth continuity, but I thought all that lead was gone decades ago. Keep up the good work nice to reminisce old times.
Peter.
Adam is a credit to you mate, wish i had a journeyman like you starting out.
Found this channel & have been watching all the vids. I find it really interesting the difference between terms & regs in the UK & the US. Cool channel & good work you guys do👍!!
It’s clear to see how far Adams come on, massive praise for you Bundy and Adam
Good lad Adam, those ethics will get you far in life. Great to see you settling in well. I've had several apprentices in IT and some of them really cba to even turn up!! So inspiring to see you bucking that trend. Tidy work lads! Quinetic stuff is a time saver n half, seems decent.
Hey nick, you know rather than putting 5 different receivers in, you can get a 6 way receiver all in 1 ? Saves you linking the feed with the wagos, and probs save you a few quid 👌🏼
That cable is lead covered rubber insulated wire. It was made in the 1930s, and is well past the end of its life. It predates VIR cable which is also well past the end of its life.
I have recently been told that my wiring is tinned copper building dates from 1964, just wondering why they did that.
@@nw5835 Out of habit probably. Rubber (as in the old VIR cables) is vulcanised using sulphur and that'd eat up the copper if it wasn't tinned. I suppose they didn't quite trust PVC in the early days so they just kept tinning the cores.
I'm fairly sure this isn't lead though - it's green in spots, which points to copper, i.e. MICC (pyro).
Great vid Nick n Adam, love adams attitude n determination to just get it done.. would like to see adam do an EICR and another board change if poss...
Imagine Adam in 10 years time... he’ll be a Tom Nagy. That actually sent shivers down my spine.
And in 40 years time he'll be David Savery.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i can imagine adam doing both
0liver 0verson Tom Savery or David Nagy?
Thanks for saving me a length 😊😉
This reminds me of my grandad pranking my grandma by sending her to the hardware store for a bendy screwdriver so he could screw in a screw around a corner 😂 (and I'm not talking about those 90° adapter bits)
Great video - one of your best yet actually. Said it before, but the way you train / teach / work with Adam is awesome. I work with a lot of people who train teachers and who really - seriously - need to come and learn from you how to do it!!!! And agree with many comments below: Adam is damn good; credit to himself and to you. Keep it up guys!
There very few people I subscribe to AND press the bell. But you’re defiantly one of them!... keep them coming mate. Great stuff.
Used to come across loads of that lead cable in London, lots of it left under the floor boards too. Much less common now as so many properties have been rewired.
that old cable looks like piro
Mineral-insulated copper-clad cable is a variety of electrical cable made from copper conductors inside a copper sheath, insulated by inorganic magnesium oxide powder. The name is often abbreviated to MICC or MI cable, and colloquially known as pyro (because the original manufacturer and vendor for this product in the UK was a company called Pyrotenax). A similar product sheathed with metals other than copper is called mineral insulated metal sheathed (MIMS) cable.
We still have a lot of that lead covered wire in our house not connected also old porcelain wire nuts and what looks like lead covered junction boxes I ended up giving some of it to the local college to show up and coming students the tutor seemed quite excited excellent video again mate keep them coming
When you was wondering about wether you should do another time lapse, I certainly wouldn’t mind, because I may have missed one video, but also, you may do something different the next time, or high light a tip that you hadn’t previously. Yes if you keep showing the same type jobs all the time people may lose interest but for me, it’s good to go over things that may have been covered before again, once in a while.
Nice work youve got a good Apprentice there
Polystyrene panels were used to hide cracked ceilings and add insulation before loft insulation became popular.
Hopefully, you are inspiring lots of teenagers to think about learning a trade. University is good but it isn't for everyone. And if it isn't right for you or you can't hack the exams stuff then your vids are massively encouraging to our kids, taking away the idea that "everything's buggered because I can't go to uni". I look at the work you do and can only imagine the pride you and Adam feel. Everything is to regulations and everything is installed with pride. And who knew being a sparks involved so much creativity? Great vids. I enjoy them so much (I've worked in IT in offices all my life) I've stopped watching Netflix of an evening preferring to see how you and Adam have got on with your projects. It's better telly, honest!
8:53 - That wallpaper! What is it? Middle Period Hilda Ogden?
Nice one as always. Take care lads.
Must be so good knowing you have a very keen apprentice with you. I don't fancy working for myself as it would involve Judy grafting by yourself 90% of the time.
Smashing it lads! Third year apprentice here if you need one nick? 👀
That floor roll is good, I used it a couple of years ago, but I had one lady who complained it made her carpet all sticky, so ended up paying to get it cleaned in the end,
I had an 8ft fluorescent fitting in my kitchen and loft, both only changed to LED recently as they wouldn’t start. Loft one was a bugger in cold weather too, took forever to flash up.
Just bought some liability through artisan link this morning!! Dammit
Top video again, nice one Nick and Adam👍🏼
great job guys, well done Adam....
Adam’s a keeper - good lad, get him to do an EICR under your supervision. You will need to think of a replacement soon plan ahead to get another good un...
Good luck for Adam as well for the future
Adam film the boss doing some work, and I’ve worked on lead cable before, I helped replace the lot
For the loft you should try paper overalls saves your own clothes ,most also have a hood keep some spare in the van
Those blue shorts looked like swim / beachwear, I did a double take...
Is the strapping in the middle van seat to restrain Adam from eating all the food until he has done a morning's work and very interesting video too and a super funky house
Decent video. You should buy a selfie stick with a tri pod on it. So handy when making videos like this for your 'action shots' haha
Love the vids keep it up !!
Reminds me of the time I got my new Klein flathead stuck in a ladder trying to pry the catch off, broke my screwdriver in half :(
The cable is called MI mineral insulated Pyro
Love Your Videos Mate👍🏾
Super job as always lads glad your keeping safe.
Great Video , I have seen the Ener J , they have a 6 circuit controller which would save you buying several receivers . Each circuit can still be paired individually . Love to hear your guys thoughts on these recievers.
Love the photo shoot 😂😂👌
Fat Bong on the wall at 12:35 ;-) No wonder the lady is so nice :-)
🤣🤣 Its a yard or half yard glass
Could you please post a link for the remote receivers/switches you used in this installation (EnerJ ?). Cheers, Gordon Waltham
Does look rather like lead cable have dragged a fair amount of it out on rewires in the past. Also have took a fair amount of rubber cable out too. Don't think can get 8ft tubes any more have seen a lot of them of the things.
TLC still have 8ft tubes listed - at £16 each. Only marginally cheaper than replacing the fitting.....
@@JC-jv5xw I knew where bloody expensive many years ago. One job I was on the client decided to put a smaller fitting up in place of an 8ft. There was hardly any difference in light output for a start. Plus more often than not ballasts, lampholders etc would also be knackered too. So cost wise we just stuck a new light up.
I used your code a couple weeks back lol the guy knew exactly who i was talking about.. seems your popular there.
A great team. Good job.
Weird... the bits you pulled out definitely look like lead but in the loft it's suspiciously green like copper!
What's that on the shelf above the CU? Almost looks like a continental bottle fuse!
Which wholesaler did you get that box from that has all the receivers in?
VIR Vulcanized India Rubber cabling for a very old ELV DC lighting system maybe?
Looking foward to day 2, but you need to tell Adam to use need pads may not be cool but if he does not he will suffer in late life.
We never used to worry about stupid things like earth wiring on lighting circuits goodness me - that’s all newfangled the safety nonsense 😜👍
in my house you don't even have earth for your lamps lol
Love your videos, really informative 👍🏼
What are those white blocks called that listen to the remote switches please?
Did I hear you say um or am I hearing things🤣
Some filth in that Attic, will the Adam lad be sent up😂. The joy of the apprenticeship. Tea boy, shop boy, attic boy, running coupler boy. Clean the stores boy , jesus the list was endless. But I got through it.
Now the apprentice's show us up! Computer boy how do you get this to work. Smart phone boy, what's up with my phone.
@@bobo-pg7jt 😂😂😂😂
In 10 years these two will end up like Savery and Nige, there won't be any free monster drinks in the morning it will just be "what you doing silly old git?" - "ah fook off"
Look forward to your response to Dave's comments about you in his last video ha ha
Isn't it lead paint that Gary likes?
where do you get your work mats from?
Jack Knight prs supplies
My kids love them brioche things, they're 4 & 5 years old, dunno if that says anything about you guys?
Do you get many call backs on the wireless light switches?
What's the exact stuff you put down to protect the carpets? I've tried polythene dust sheets which look similar but they were completely useless, just moved around as soon as you walked on them no grip on carpet.
There's one called roll and stroll
Should of re wired the sockets as well since you have done the hard work getting all the cable routes
@5:26 , however much Snickers paid you to put them water skis on your feet they have robbed you.
can you do a wireless switch for the Hobb?
Apache ATS flex men, snickers take the piss with prices.
Wow the way they allow y’all to do the residential wiring and the location of y’all’s panel is dangerous looking
been watching GB sparks for a while they think we are crazy for putting lights and sockets on same circuit but if they have a breaker trip they have to crawl on the floor to open a cabinet or get a ladder because its in a cabinet 2 to 3 meters off the floor.not to mention if they can pull up floorboards its ok to bury jc boxes.
the only thing i have seen so far from uk sparks tht i wld like the states to adopt is there underground armored cable. th-cam.com/video/5XST0DkotYw/w-d-xo.html
wizard3z castor regs in uk states the fuse baord at 1400 so that’s what it is in everything new this house is probs over 50 years old
what you guys have been watching and in no disrespect to domestic sparkies is the lowest in the ability barrel when it comes to Electrical standards. Most properties have been either wired by a DIY’er or some 10 week sparks. When you step into the industrial sphere. Our regulations and standards I would say are so much better than the NEC. I work for an American company where our packages are of US standard. Most of which have to be modified to conform to BS standards by using a certificate of conformity. Stones and glass houses comes to mind.
@@Jackdaly2000 kk
@@jurassicsparks5220 you realize the nec is bare minimum most of us who have respect for trade go above code. and some local jurisdictions have code standards above the nec. i hear all the time well its done to code im like gee a D- snds good to me 🤦♀️.
kk but in our regs if we change out a panelboard it has to meet current codes in the UK you seem to just be able to replace and leave in same spot against regs?
and yes even in the us commercial vs residential regs are higher like you stated
I really like these videos but too many adverts to keep skipping.
Hey al bundy
Or as I like to say plan to adapt.
anyone know what that organizer thing is on the middle seat i need one. thanks
Velocity van bag 👍
N Bundy Electrical nice one thanks
Is it Pyro?
No it’s ancient lead sheathed wiring should have been replaced decades ago
Metal clad cut out, probably full of asbestos. Nasty.
Love the tattoo
wish my journey min bought me that in the morning 😂
Good
What is the lighting system he is using what it the name of them modules? Thanks in advance.
It’s called ener-j knietic switches
@@NBundyElectrical
I assume you installed them as the client didn't want mess chasing out and trunking to switches can you 2 way the wireless switch, I am an electrician aswell I haven't ever installed them was just curious always good to learn.
Wireless switching, good grief the technology is coming on , thats half a rewire lol, are they reliable.
Where did you get your shoes from? Any links?
I was going to ask how you destroyed the screwdriver 😆😆😆
I wonder if that's pre mineral insulated cable kind of like what Delroy? The spark had to deal with in the garage. th-cam.com/video/bh-oERoRSRM/w-d-xo.html
PYRO, MICC, MIMS come on proper terminology please.
No pretty sure it's different. It's literally just like lead covered t+e. Loads of it still under floorboards in London
Not to be mean mate but your apprentice is better fronting the camera lol
I never understood why they invented something as impractical as the 8' fluro. Surely two 4' end to end would give much the same result, unless you're hanging them in a church hall
David Gill we had over 100 8ft fittings in a warehouse I managed,many were twins too. We did a retube every 12 months to stop pissing about changing on an ad hoc basis.
that is one nicotine stained house!
Not really a needed comment that.
If comments are to appear like that, the customer won’t allow any videos, so we all lose out.
