Great pics!.
I'd agree in saying that this installation is a real mess, from start to finish.
Regarding the Metal-Clad Switch gear being used outside, I was always under the impression that, this gear was not meant to be used without some sort of weather protection over it?, as there are no seals around the inside of the cover.
Hmmm,
It's been a while since I've seen one of them single circuit Switch-Fuse units still in use, like the one supplying the Boiler in pic No.5.
Sven,
Anyone know the Amp rating of a piece of 60/40 solder wire?
You could probably just about rate Solder as "Close-Protection", it melts a lot quicker than Tinned Copper Wire.
In the 3rd pic from the bottom, I see a Reyrolle socket, is this still being used?.
We banned the use of these here in 2000.
