end of a busy day.
this was one of these days that i thought would never end, i had a tv installation in the morning in bearsden and then a call out in the city centre of glasgow, and then finally on to the westend of glasgow for a cooker installation.
got up at 8am slightly later than usual but still earlie enough to get in and get my scrambled egg without waiting in a long line.
tv installation constisted of 50 inch tv bracket, power socket behind the tv an av port for the hdmi behind the tv down to where the units are being kept (which was in the corner) was straight foward job the hardest part was getting the tv level as the ceiling look off level but we got it looking smart then off to second job.
periodic testing of the electrical installation, in the city centre glasgow which took 3 hours, its was a small office close to argyle street,i have to go back and do the pat testing at a later date....noted in the diary.
finally heading to the westend glasgow cooking installation i think the least said about this one is best as it was late and i was loosing patience with it. but as usual all job done all electrical installations safe thanks to www.wesuk.co.uk
thanks for reading....

monday electrical blog in glasgow
mondays are always a tough day to get myself going but eventually i did, several calls from the westend glasgow to start the day then a few more email quotations to reply to before i headed out our new office in partick in the westend of glasgow.
straight into the van and to my horror i forgot to get fuel at the weekend so another 20 mins wasted in order to get filled up. then off to paisley for the first job of the day - to channel in an outside light up to a switch and put some new switchs on nothing to hard there,i was there for a couple of hours then job done. as im on a very strict diet as i am looking to get down to 12 stone i had some chicken for a quick snack before heading back to the westend for job no. 2. which entailed of stripping kitchen sockets off the wall and fault finding why there was no problem in the kitchen ring circuit but tbh this was an easy find there were loose cables at one of the sockets so after a tighten up they were back up and running.
now 1pm off to a meeting for a job that to be honest i didt want but it was in jordanhill so i thought i would go and check it out its was a quote for a rewire so we will see how i get on with that in the coming days.
lastly i was heading to the hilton at the top of buyers road well the flats next to it for a final quotation for lights i got the job booked in for friday.
and that was my day.....
went to david lloyd
now bed
night all
