Nice bit of wiring to a summerhouse

The incomer is two core flex from a from a non RCD protected supply.

The main use of the socket is to power some Christmas lights (which are not IP rated) around the summerhouse.

We got the phone call to have a look at the electrics after the owners dog pissed on the lights and got an electric shock.

I kind of like the earth connection to the wooden wall.

Tell the dog not to piss on the lights.

In a folder entitled "Dodgy 'lectrics" on my hard disk. Happy to share, though.

It's a South American death-shower, one of the ones that passes the water over a bare live element.

Might make a good "hall of shame" section on the wiki or faq?

(which aside from the entertainment value, can sometimes be instructive if there is a bit of commentary with pics highlighting the problems)

I'll zip the folder up and make it available for download, will post back with a link when done.

Not all are dodgy - a few are "interesting"
