this is great as 3 years back a spark installed an outside socket and spurred directly off a double socket in the house and i suspect he should have fitted a fused spur like you did ! At least I know what to do if i need to add another - great video mate
Nice job. Only thin g I would've done differently is rather than making that FCU a spur, I would've pulled one of the cables originally going to the socket through and put the FCU in the ring.
Nice to see you actually switch on / off when inserting and unplugging the socket tester not many on u- tube do this safety procedure including electricians that should know better.
@@jameshansing5396 switching of at the socket when unplugging equipment as electricity can jump between the socket terminals and the plug pins causing arcing and burning on terminals and pins.
Nice job mate. Top tip to get them bang on level off both lugs rather than the one then mark it then level off that line. Can also drill the fixings hole before you chase out. Shame no Kopex was used 😁
Now now, don’t be hard on yourself. You did really well! And you didn’t give your hair a frizzy styling. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us 🙌🏽
Looks good to me. I'm probably about your level of competence but luckily I have a qualified college teaching electrician next door and he's a good mate. He's bailed me out on a few occasions but is a wealth of knowledge when I plan something myself. I did this same thing last week specifically so we can karcher our new car without dragging a long dodgy extension lead around from the back of the house. All I did different was what with not having a convenient plug socket the other side of the wall I drilled through and run the cable through a patress box and on the end of the cable I simply fitted a 13a plug. I tacked the exposed cable to the skirting board and the plug fits into a spare socket behind the telly. We also have the option of cutting the power to stop someone nicking our electricity when we're out. I've seen loads of content doing this job and they all go on about the importance of sealing the screw holes and around the plastic pipe but no one suggests running a bead of sealant along the gap where the box joins the wall. I'm quietly pleased with my project and so should you be too.😊
Hiya Kip I Just Joined because I've been binge watching your videos and like your energy & content, their good and entertaining, Good Vibes & No Negativity... 🙂👍
Nice neat job, im no electrician but that looks safe to me and i would have done it the same way,i think being a diy er i always go overkill on safety great video
I thought you might have just moved the switch box up and little and fill underneath, just like the play socket. Other than that, looked good, I assume you tested the outside socket too? (NB I am not an electrician either!!!)
The first thing done should have been to make sure it was a socket on the ring final circuit and not one of two sockets on a spur which isn't allowed. You shouldn't leave Wago's exposed like that if you are working live around them. You should have popped then in a Wago box for safety.
Leaving wagos is fine in your own house, there’s no way of touching live connections. In my opinion if you’re stupid enough to play with it, you deserve to get shocked
@@Waynesworldofgaming Not the right attitude. You can never be sure who in the household will "be stupid enough". I had a friend who did something similar. Thought he was alone in the house, he wasn't... Children, visitors to the house animals. If you leave connectors that are supposed to be in an enclosure, live and exposed, the authorites aren't going to say "nah, no problem, they deserved it". It's simple and easy to do, so why not.
Socket was / is on a ring final - yes I should've mentioned it, but - it's a bit late now! The wagos were fine - only me, my wife and the dog in the house when I did that.
Good job would have done the same the prices the electrician are charging today is ridiculous you might has well do it yourself if you know what are doing like me I learnt on UA-cam
Because the Years it takes to train to be an Electrician.Then cost of registration with competent person scheme.We should all work for free.Plus price of materials

Nice job Kip 👏🏼 all looks Safe and well
Tip.....
If you knock the hammer off the drill just before you get through the wall, it "mostly" stop the brick blowing out.
Otherwise, good job 👏
Very nice job kip, neater than most would do it mate 👏
If the manufacturer guidelines say to drill a drain hole its probably a good idea lol

Yeah.. Good point.. To be honest when you're staring at something.. A solution as obvious as that doesn't always appear
@@kiphakes Nice ‘electrical’ filming, looks like the practice paid off 😎
Great job kip. 👍👍😀🙃😀 your brill great blog as always 👍
Thank you so much 😀
Great vid Kip, looks great 👍 👍
Great video Kip 😎
Thanks Rich!
For a first time go thats a very good effort.
you good job.
I tried!
Really helpful, thanks. What wire connectors did use and could you please provide a link? 👍
Wire connectors? I don't know what you mean?
wago is the brand.
Nice job Kip, absolutely have a go if you have the confidence backed up with researched knowledge 👍
I’m Installing one today.

How do you test circuits prior to and post altering them?
