    Dig your heels in mate, it gets done when you find a decorator who doesn’t suffer from vertigo lol.

    That looks an absolute twat of a job and will defo involve some hairy moments involving scaffolding boards and sheer terror. **** it clean off.

    Earth fault loop impedance is the path followed by fault current when a low impedance fault occurs between the phase conductor and earth, i.e. “earth fault loop”. Fault current is driven round the loop by the supply voltage. The higher the impedance, the lower the fault current will be and the longer it will take for the circuit protection to operate. So in short it is the impedance of the earth fault current loop starting and ending at the point of earth fault. This impedance is abbreviated to Zs.

    Mate that might as well be written in mandarin <laugh>

    It's been 2 days and nobody's dead so I'm going to say it's passed the test!

    My Mrs said, 'it's fine, me and my dad will do it'.

    No, he ****ing won't. He's nearly 70, I'm not having that death on my hands!

    No ****ing way are any of us 'just nipping up' a ladder.

    They're mad. This **** is engraved in me professionally, I know what can happen.

    Build a ramp and send it.

    Being serious for a moment, there's a bloke called Martyn Ashton. He was a trails bike pro who had an accident on the bike which left him paralysed from the waist down. The doctors told him he'd never ride a bike again, but his mates built him an adapted bike and a couple of years ago he rode in the Downhill crankworx event at Whistler. Amazing bloke <ok>

    Anyway, this is just a short video of him first trying out the bike if you're interested...

    Notice he had an RGK so he should have got

    His mates help him out, one rides in front, one behind. At the first sign of trouble, they rush over to catch him. But yeah I think he's had his fair share of spills.

    He sorted the problem of stopping the bike and keeping momentum going, there's another video where they built a tandem.
