G'day again.
When it stops raining, I will go outside and take a few happy snaps of the (almost) completed and installed system.
I now have installed so far, 5 lights to the home and some additional lighting to light the underneath of kitchen cabinets.
I have a big question to ask you guys and gals.
I am wanting an electrician to come out and inspect the setup and certify that it has all been done in a safe and correct manner, meeting current Standards for low voltage work at 24vdc...which is not asking too much.
I have had four sparkies so far decline.
So far, I have received only one answer as to why they won't do it:
"This is due to our responsibility for the systems we install and the requirements associated with certifying an installation that we have not carried out ourselves."
...it really does not take much to open two large electrical boxes, inspect the wiring and circuit and stick a head into the man hole in the ceiling.
ANyone have ideas on how I can get a sparkie to at least come out and inspect the current setup, without scaring them off with the wording, "for insurance purposes"?
My old man was a sparkie, he would often check and certify other peoples work, got me stuffed with this one.
