Hottest day of the year, that seems like a long distant past..
On the radio... "I'm coming" "it's hot" "it's tight" - haha
Watching this on a cold October morning... how nice would that warm weather be right now.
Tell me about it
I’ll take your cold weather!!!
" It's a bit tight in here...give it a little wiggle ".. sounds like a Carry On film....🤪
'im coming im coming" and not even a "that's what she said" im impressed.
great vid! really appreciate the work you do! got onto your channel around 3 years ago and you inspired me to take the jump from retail to electrical despite the fact i'm from Australia lol. I'll be sitting my licencing exam start of next year!
I wish you well Jamie. Just hope you are not stuck in Melbourne at this time interrupting your practical studies.
Jamie Young
Good luck Jamie ...... with your studies from Canberra
@@josephking6515 Thankyou! unfortunately I am otherwise I would have sat my exam with year :(
I'd rather hear you and the lovely Naomi's banter instead of the sausage banter I hear on some of the other channels!
You and me both!
Roof spaces here in Australia can be up to 70 degrees centigrade. I've been in metal clad roofs where I take a litre of water, drink it whilst working for 15 minutes, come down because I'm too hot. Wait a bit to cool down then repeat. We've had people die from hyperthermia whilst working in roof spaces. Either way 35 is hot for the U.K.
Hold Fast
I second that ........from Canberra
Saw 48C in the loft here under a tiled roof this summer in the southern UK.
My boss found a 1.5 meter brown snake in a roof once here in Perth, as if the temperature wasn’t bad enough here in Aus 😂
Here's me thinking "what is he on about, I haven't seen the sun for months" :D
Exactly what I need to watch while dealing with winter blues.
I know how you feel. On those days i happened to be working outside pulling Ext CAT6. Up a ladder and going blind due to the sweat pouring into my eyes. I sweat alot in 30+ heat so it was very unpleasant indeed. I guess were not built for it.
Tom, pan head are good, try "Truss Head " screws n Bolts even bigger head and better for that application too
Loving the content glad I found your Channel through big Clive. I’m doing my level 2 at college and plan on going to the army as an engineer and doing my level 3 with them. You’re content is well made and given me a great insight into the industry. I can appreciate the amount of time it must take to run a business, work and run a UA-cam channel.
Keep going mate - nice to someone with a plan!
thomas nagy cheers thank you
Then he gets trolled and slagged off for doing so on forums etc but I think Tom has a thick skin by now.
Another great video keep up the good work I love the passion you have for your job and how you make sure you do the job right 🇨🇦
Seems like a life time ago. I can’t wait to watch this when I get home. Good job Thomas 👍
Hope you enjoy it!
With the heat sensors,they can pick up heat from Bush's or trees nearby,they keep their heat so in winter on a windy night when the outside temperature has dropped the Bush's trees are giving out warmth,hence nuisance lights coming on,good job the loft was boarded ,no fibreglass to contend to with the heat 👍
Im coming Im coming..... She's trying to find a rod hahahaha
I’m a retired sparky, recently I tried to replace the lamp in my old thorn tungsten halogen fitting. Long story short the fitting fell apart - well it was about 20 years old. Pleasantly surprised how bright the new 20 watt led fitting is 😎
Tom, you should visit Australia in the middle of summer! You would love the 40+ tempreature day after day after day 😂
Maybe one day!
thomas nagy if us British would probably melt in Australia in the Middle of summer
Nah we don’t. You acclimatise. Working in 45 Degree days + for years in the Pilbara
Anas Chunara Man U fc 14 years in...still ok
thomas nagy More of your 8 legged friends...
35°C What do you mean by being hot, that's just a mild day in Australia 🤣
But they are not in Australia are they.
Strewth!
Of course you wouldn't get that in your nice air-conditioned office, eh?
Hi Tom. Have you not tried square head screws. Called screwlux. We use them here in Northern Ireland all the time. They are so good and dont fall off the screw driver bit. Look tbem up
Cleanest loft ive ever seen too.
Those flanged pan head screws are used as cabinet screws in Canada. To hang kitchen cabinets on the walls. They are useful for various other things, and I’d use them more, IF they didn’t suck so much!
Love watching your videos mate keep up the good work.
1:08 I'm coming i'm coming She's trying to find this Rod oh dear tom lol
Love this channel
I was doing my loft boarding dureing the hottest part of the heat wave. It was brutal. Broke my toe the day before to add to the fun. Mesured the temp in my loft with my Thermal camera & in the lost was up to 40*C, out side was 30 something. Took 2 days or so to complete, the fiberglass insolation stuff is super nasty to, would cling to the sweat to make the job even more unplesent.
Great video Tom. I love that ladder system. How did you manage to fix your damaged ladder rack??
Carry-on-Sparky lol Love it... you guys always provide electricaly infused comedy.. what more could we ask for! Ow and your not wrong with what ya said Tom.. The lefty nonsense is rife.
Cooler in the loft? You're mad it'll be about 50*C in there if it's 35*C outside.
I managed to get a fibreglass double extension 3.9m to 6.8m ladder for about £250 recently. Frankly I'm too scared of heights to go any higher than that.
How hot was it? Like, here in Australia Melbourne 43 ish celsius in summer. Do stay hydrated and great video.
Would be great to hear more of Naomi singing. She has a good voice
In Australia, that's mild day 😁
To get away with sexism you have to be selling something.
Lovely job Guys, Really felt for you's with that heat/ How's the office space search coming on, did you get that one you and camera guy took us to see?
First off, please make sure that you folks keep yourself hydrated, it may not seem that important, but heat stress is a very real issue.
Especially if you work by yourself, the first sign of this happening is you get a prickly feeling down your back.
Secondary to this is heat stroke, where your body will stop sweating and your body temperature will raise itself to dangerous temperatures,
if unchecked.
Over here in New Zealand, I've struck in the middle of summer, get into the roof void and some moron has insulated the whole area above the ceiling in wool, this is scraps from the end of yarns out of a factory.
It was 29C outside the house, inside the roof void, it was 77.5C, it was absolutely mental, I've been a Fire-Fighter for 20 years or so, we wear PPE, because of radiated heat, within 2-3 minutes of being in this roof, I had my overalls , my T-shirt off and was down to socks to step on the ceiling joists.
When I got out from running the pair of cables, I drank a whole 1.5 litre bottle of water , over a period of about 5 minutes.
Just be aware of this risk, it could end your life
have a look at zarges ladders their pro range is brilliant and perfect for any work and fairly light weight and solid construction
Great video as always!
We have microwave sensor lights in our building by the the lift (one light in the middle between two flats). They detect people walking through our fireproof doors when we go from living room to the kitchen.
Also, few times I saw ground floor lights coming on when someone walked into the kitchen right above it.
Security Doppler microwaves have problems like this. Had one in a locked store that would go off around the same time but not every night. Traced it to a PVC soil pipe from a toilet on the floor above which the security guy would sometime use on his rounds. Simply dealt with by covering the pipe in foil.
Reflections happen too. Had one installation where the alarm would go off on early in the morning but only on some days. Turned out to the microwave signal being reflected off the firm's panel van, which they brought inside at the end of the day, and out through a window where it saw the first car to pass up the alley alongside. But it needed the van to be parked at specific angle which didn't always happen.
what light do you fit outside for floodlights, ive used screwfix luceco and lap over the last 6 years and keep having to return them after about 8 months as they fail.
I got sunburned watching this
What are the lights you are using? I know they are 50W but there are a lot of different ones with mixed reviews out there
great video tom
Thanks 👍
I'm wondering when you filmed this? as it's been a while since it was that hot.
I can never understand if I installed PIR sensors and they are near trees or shrubs or any plant that flaps about on a winding night it sets them off because its supposed to be heat that triggers them, I always use Steinel sensors even though they are expensive you might be tempted to use the much cheaper ones but they always seem to give problems compared to the Steinel.
Steinel is a quality brand and there is others also. For example ABB has really good PIR sensors.
PIRs look for change of heat that seems to be moving. It's not seeing the bush moving but the bush waving in front to something warmer (or cooler) than the bush.
I do perceive a pom with a suntan. I'm an Aussie!
Hi love your work !
Could you recommend a PIR sensor that will not active every time the neighbours cat walks by ?
Microwave sensors have their uses, but they are very prone to false triggering. Not such an issue with light switching, but definitely an issue with alarm systems.
Gee, imagine that, this isn't an alarm system
Problem with Doppler microwaves is the signal is prone to bouncing around corners and also though things like waste pipes and windows.
Something that does the same job as a space pen, but only 10p, is a Pencil.
The Russian solution to the problem.
Microwave sensors are also good for emergency lighting as they work through smoke.
in US we had a terrible heat stroke and our HAVC System in my house on the second floor and my school classrooms were very hot i was in middle school at the time
Hi, Sorry but I can't find any regulation to say that you have to use Fiberglass ladders.
Even in Ammendment two.
Nice job.
I saw a boiler flue close to the PIR, surely that will keep turning the flood on as the boiler fires up
Haha, finally a clean video without any sexual innuendo.
Yes, if Tom wanted an innuendo, he would have given you one.
Be a gent and get up there yourself!
im watching a video about electitian stuff and the only thing that gets my attention is: how can this fig tree grow so good in the uk??? is it not too cold there in the winter? can sombody wrap up a tree that is that tall that no frost can kill the tree?
while Tom was going on about the PIR sensor about 10 mins in , saying the heat triggers it blah blah blah...... wouldn't the flue from the boiler keep triggering it ?
i've got no idea about it so thought i would ask
Your right, I noticed that, if that boiler is still functional it will your right, I have seen it so many times.
Your right buddy
Even few metres away the wind will blow the heat plume over😊
Wasn't the one he fitted a Microwave sensor, rather than a PIR ?
Boarded loft. Luxury.
Hi what make are the floodlights?
Thanks
Pir sensor doesn't really sense heat, it senses difference in temperature over time. This kind of misconception makes it possible to fool PIR Request for Exit sensors to open doors from the outside if someone uses a compressed air can spray upside down through the door edges. It senses the air getting colder as a person.
Actually it's more complicated than that - there has to be movement involved.
nnaomi's mic is always blown out and clipping. Turn down the gain!
To be honest it kind of adds to the comedic effect for me
Nice bit of current content
Imagine working in Cyprus...in the summer we have at least 40-45 and the hottest we've been i think is 50 degrees
Do you want a medal for that, or a chest to pin it on.?
Only 35? I know thats balls hot for the UK, but not unusual in the southern US, work outside with that all day and near 100% humidity. Oh and the rain.
Sure makes you appreciate the cooler days just a little bit more.
And seems Nom, Nom is the perfect size for loft spaces!
Hi could you please do a demo with the ROBIN kts 1620 MFT, bit of old school would be good just to see how these metres compare to the modern ones
I'll see what I can do!
@@thomasnagy thank you love your videos
Keep them coming
Get ya self some tool lanyards could save you a new tool and damage cost :) can recommend GJD Lighting systems for high end clients :)
Oh so many 'said the actress to the bishop' lines there. 😁
I've only seen one set of fibreglass triple extension ladders, and the guy that had them reckoned they weighed twice as much as the aluminium equivalent and he regretted buying them.
PIR’s are no good near boiler flues either tom😊
Great video
Good to know!
Actually that's an interesting one. It's probably not the heated air but the water vapour in the flue output.
that's a usual day in aussie mate. gets up to 45 where I am.
Uploading at half 4😂 love it
Hi Tom can you help me out on a basic to help me while a fuse box in a cupboard to put extra plugs in
great vid thomas enjoyed that
Thanks 👍
I would take a bit of sun and temperature now 😆
Love the quality of the videos, Long video's that are worth every minute
I appreciate that!
Toolstation pan head screws £3/box.
Wearing black out in the sun!
I know you’re lot is unfamiliar with sun 🤪 but when you fail at sunscreen 400mg of ibuprofen and aloe vera gel after your shower. Use aloe vera gel with lidocaine if the sheets are gonna hurt.
I blame La Niña!!! We shouldn’t have 90°F/32°C+ in October that’s for the other hemisphere!
35c is 95f ... cool for a typical Georgia summer ...
Proper lad
Are the stainless Plates on the deadlocks new?
Hi big fan off your work boii keep it up 👍
What brand are those LED-Floodlights?
"its unbearably hot 35c" laughs in 120 degree f chicago suburb weather
Laughs in Death Valley.
Nearly saw the camera guy's identity in the reflection on the van!
Guess he's a bit like the Stig, he'll never be identified!
Welcome newbie, you didn't see the Camera guy when he was introduced?
4:44 get wooden ladders only 2 wee independent companies left making wooden ladders
What? No demo. Anyways, tons of support stay happy
Been installing some 10W sensor lights, and they do work well, low power, adjustable and also very reasonable in price. Just add to each one surge arrestor because they do tend to pop with close lightning strikes, so each junction has a MOV installed to reduce the damage. Long trench to the bottom of the garden to get a cable down there, to both feed the light that is up, and also a feed for the gate automation that is going to be coming in soon. Just have to finish fixing the existing gate, now that it actually can slide on the new rollers and the repaired track, have to get the last bit of bend out from where somebody previously drove into it with a car and damaged it. Then get the posts back into position and get rid of a lean on them.
Meanwhile, the HVACR in California with 121F temps on a roof in the sun is saying "it's not that bad if your drinking water like a fish." Also, screw the thought police they will never be happy because they are unhappy with themselves.
Bet that loft was warm
A fibreglass triple would be just about impossible to carry.
Last year it got to 40+C here in Canberra, hate to be a sparkie working in that shit. Though granted it was bone dry heat, up north in FNQ (far north queensland) its >35C+ everyday, with 100% humidity 🤮
Try Darwin in the Wet Season. Torture
If you like a good screw try an Orbix
Better screw: Canadien Robertson.
What temperature was it there
35 degrees is definitely not unbearable . Still wearing my hoodie in Australia
1:07
Yes
If not seen another contractor that didn’t mean to chav his van but did anyway but ‘hey ho’ 😂
8:38 what more could you want? erm itchy loft insulation ..... a wasps nest.....
still doing them early starts Tom
are microwave sensors safe?
Of course. It's not like they are blasting 1KW around like your kitchen microwave.
Yes
