Pendant drop? It looks like it had an eye in the middle of it? I'm weirded out. I need more info. Can't compute this!!

starting to think its not a pendant drop its a 30 amp JB some dicheads filled with some sort of sealant because they broke the lid that would explain the hole in the middle,the 2.5 mm cables a give away
 
It's a lighting JB that I was wiring up an extractor to. Someone thought it would be good to pack it with plasticine or something.

The whole house is DIY hell.

I went to a call where there was some water leaking onto the floor. Housekeepers cottage, part of a very wealthy estate. I took a look and showed the Big Wig the true extent of the problem. He was most concerned. I cleaned it out and 'serviced' it but it needed replacing, this was a year ago - its still not been changed, they just mop up the floor every day.

For anyone who doesnt know the OFTEC regs, tanks should be at least 1.8metres away from a non fire rated building or structure (eg shed)......
This is going off to the OFTEC magazine, see if I can be the most published this year lol

I know it aint right but can see why they did it, to hide ugly tank and prevent water in the tank!! surely it should be fine as long as it is solely used for the tank (not for petrol etc) no windows on shed and it is 1.5 metre away from any other shed or building etc? but i dont make the regs I just follow them!!

Theres a window you can see on the left, and there is a wooden fence within 760...Whilst I agree that technically its unlikely anything will happen....what if it does? etc

thats my point, if the shed is 1.8 metre away from any other structure then even if it did set on fire it should be contained rather then able to spread.

I suppose the thinking behind it is that wood splinters when set on fire and can be blown in the wind, where as plastic and oil melts and will stay where it is and also putting the fire out may be more of a problem, especially if the firemen didnt see the tank inside and used water!!!
