  6. Well chaps its now 6 months since We set up on our own. We have had 3 days in that time with no work. Things are going realy well and we have just taken on our 1st full time engineer, 3 of us now. But i agree with the rest of you i am now working about 100 hours a week inc paper work book keeping etc. We should be SSAIB aproved within the next few weeks. I feel i could never go back to cards in now. : Andy
  7. Do you remember the realy old mats that had a tarton cover on them. I serviced loads of dry cell systems over my time the one's with the end of line flag battery with a diode fitted to them, all well over 30 years old. It had a green lamp on the front that lit up when you pressed the test button if all was clear. The whole house would be run in brown twin a + loop and a - loop in the same cable mats caused a shot and doors went on on of the loops. F,in nightmare to find a fault.
  8. I fitted the system in the chapel of rest in my local town and had to fit a detector in the embarming room. Thay said if i waited an hour thay would clear out the bodys waiting to be done. I went in anyway. Not a very nice sight stainless tables with bodys laid out ready to embarm just saw heads and feet but that was enough.
