Guest mike2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 ....and i do hope that those tricks of the trade are going to stay that as well guys!Helping someone site a PIR is one thing, telling that person how to carry out an install correctly, concealing all the cables etc etc in another - don't you agree that you'd be selling your skill and experience far short of what they are worth?? My dad has moved into a new house recently and while installing the alarm system he asked me to change a couple of light switched as well - no problem we can all do this safely. However, when looking at the wiring it was old, sarting to break down and generally not in a very good condition. So I told him to call an electrcian - not log onto electricalinstaller.co.uk and find out how to complete a reqire of his house - because thats a specialist trade and it requires skill and knowledge gained through training and experience. This subject of "giving a helping hand" is cropping up more and more - isn't is about time we had a serious debate (in the trade section) about this can came up with some hard and fast rules?? 28841[/snapback] Don't worry, ALSEC, I'm already quite handy in the use of drill bits, lengths of wire, and other ways of making wires go where you want them to go from having done my house rewiring (for which I didn't need to consult a forum ). So I won't need anyone to divulge any secrets on the open forum! However I must say again how grateful I am for all the general advice and feedback I've been given (and other DIYers in other posts have been given too), and it would be a great shame for the forum if this was not to continue. It is also important to judge each new"DIYer" on the basis of what seems to be their level of competence and understanding. (And as I indicated in my first post my level of competence is at the level of completing a complete rewiring of a 3-bedroom house.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When are the trade sections going to have some serioues debate over things that do concern our trade. And whats the point of members just replying with a emoticons and no text is this a way a building posts up ? www.nova-security.co.uk www.nsiapproved.co.uk No PMs please unless i know you or you are using this board with your proper name.
