As some people are aware and some may not. Tomorrow marks my last day, after 16 years as a self employed electrician carrying out domestic and industrial works.

It's been an interesting time. I've learnt my toughest lessons, had my arse handed to me more times than I care to think. However, it's also brought several great memories and laughs, thought me more than any school ever has. I've met some of the greatest people through my custom base, also some of the most idiotic! 😂.

That said I want to from the bottom of my heart say thank you to the people who have used my services and helped me make a living from this. To those that didn't your loss. 😉.

As of Monday I start a new chapter trying to make a good name for myself at Northern Powergrid with the aim to be a linesman, dangling from pylons! Back to learning, stretching my brain and adding to the skills I have already learnt from the 20 years of 230/415 volt electricerry! It's soon to be anything upto 66000 volts to start with!

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I will always do my best to get back to people who message or call. I'm not saying this is the last of me doing this work, just for now I need to do something new and challenging.

I want to take this chance to thank my better half Lyndsey Fitheridge for her help and guidance when I've felt I've had enough and her support in making this switch possible. I'd be lost without you!

A kitchen completed today with AKS & SON Building Services. Turned into a lovely looking kitchen, with a quooker tap, a monster extraction unit and some nice lighting to set the tone.

If you have an office space or work area that requires some lighting upgrades. Such as the ones I carried out at Enterprise House before Christmas. Change old noisy fluorescent lights to LED panels and wall lights.

To help with the rising costs of electricity the corridors, landing and stairwell lights are PIR controlled to switch on and off after sets times.

Thanks to CEF Richmond N. Yorks for the materials. Ovia Lighting for the PIR sensors and excite for the panels and bulk heads.

I'd just like to take a minute and thank all of my customers over the last year, wish all who reads this a lovely festive period and a happy new year. It's been a busy time so haven't posted much on here as a result. However I will put a few on here over the festive period. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy new year!

So i was challenged by a couple of great customers Simon and Kay to make their well travelled oriental posts light up their patio and gardens. Only one place to land for my ideas and that was Arc-Led. Also thanks to CEF for supplying the wiska boxes, cable, gel and all the other bits required. Hope you enjoy my little video (first effort at creating one).

Before Christmas I started a revamp of a kitchen. A blank canvas to come up with a whole new lighting design from the old poor design (which I forgot to take pics of) to what is below along with a recessed tv and sky box and extra sockets in the new island. Today I returned to do futher work and finally saw the finished article, worktops installed, decorating completely finished. This was a joy and what a kitchen and house it is. The LED strip was supplied by Arc-Led (what a service they supplied with advice and detail of their strip, highly recommend) the beautiful Pearl Nickle sockets and switches came from Click Scolmore (always will be my favourite finish) supplied by CEF along with the downlights. The hanging pendants were customer supplied.

Something a little different for today's work. From a lamp post which had been driven into and was wonky to new and straight. Feel sorry for whoever drives into the new one as its steel this time and not aluminium.

I'd like to say Merry Christmas to all my customers over the last year. I'm closing the 'office' on Tuesday night for the festive time, as I've been asked to take some time after a very busy December. That said I will still answer the phone to people. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a happy new year. Always have to have the best testing equipment to hand though Metrel UK Ltd!
