This changes EVERYTHING! (Restoring a 120 year old House) 

I am in no way a professional in any field required here & even I was like 'bruh.'

It is tradition and union rule for any electrician, plumber et cetera to first complain for 10 minutes about the work the previous guy did, before starting actual work

@@ike1660 🤣Well my house was built in 1910 so there was quite a bit of electrical WTF.

@@ike1660 I'm a software developer, and I find myself regularly complaining about the last developer's code. The difference: that last developer was usually me.

Regarding electrical. I have seen so much horrific bodgery done by "pro" "electricians" that i consider the legal situation in Germany criminal. I.E. Germany does not have a National Electrical Code and uses a weird, almost corrupt system of semi official rules set up by trade associations, the local power companies and various labor safety bodies etc. to govern electrical safety. As a result only a Master Electrician may do electrical independently but nobody will ever check (in your normal home situation) if it is actually done right. Technically you can also do it yourself, since there is no national law, you are just putting yourself up for undue liability and maybe break of civilian contract with the power company, but not law. A system with a National Code and inspectors where you can legally DIY if it passes and professionals will be checked on more often would be WAY better.

I used to do this when I worked as a stagehand and had a punch list of tasks to complete. It was always satisfying to color in a full box.

Or a kanban board

And prune at the right time or you’ll lose your flowers next season 🙂

It war’s or first day together. Marius knowledge about old houses is mind blowing. Passion and knowledge is a great combination 🙂

I agree! The flow between the two projects was fun and felt very natural

I would presume that this is what Marius has been drafted in for. Perhaps the RCD will be added when the building is rewired and circuits specified.

Some additional info about the RCD for anyone interested: the normal fuses (Leitungsschutzschalter) are, as their German name implies, only there to protect the cables (at least as far as direct protection goes): they protect from short circuits and overcurrent, basically anything that could cause the cable to heat up too much and could cause a fire. The RCD on the other hand is meant to protect the user as it detects when there is current flowing to ground, indicating a fault, and stops this current before the human can become the easier path for it. Ground rods and all that exist in the form that they do in order for them to become the easiest path for current to flow, but it's always possible for at least some of that current to flow through the human body. That is, unless there is an RCD, which will shut off the current in that case.

Is this what we call GFCI in the US, or is it something different?

@@charlotteice5704 Wonderfully clear language explanation. This illustrates perfectly the function and reasoning behind an RCD/GFCI.

@@TristanJCumpole Thank you very much!

Well, where else to get the 1.21 Gigawatts for the flux capacitor. 😁

OMG! that sounds so perfectly Kampfy!! great comment.

Are these better than pica pens ?

I used these throughout school. Love them.

Pica is better 5/5.

@@tomahoks "Better" is subjective dependent on use case. If I can get ahold of them here in Finland I'll give them a run.

Don't think that is too big of a problem in rural germany tbh :)

Where I live they'd rip you off while you were on lunch break out front.

Its getting a bit more problematic in the last time since "vans from the eastern of the eu" are showing up more frequently.

das meiste ist gesponsert, da sieht "man" das sicher nicht so eng. Prinzip Hoffnung greift hier eventuell auch. :D

Naja... Wenn man quasi die Einzige Firma auf einer Baustelle ist muss man schon überlegen ob es sich lohnt jeden Tag 1-2h Arbeitszeit für die morgendliche Baustelleneinrichtung und Abends wieder einzuräumen aufzuwenden... Und in einem unbewohnten Lieferwagen der an der Straße steht oder, im Falle einer Firma, in einer unbewohnten Werkstatt ist es auch nicht sicherer. Vielleicht vom Gefühl her. Aber das warst dann auch schon...

Yep, I thought the same.

But as always with older devices with thermal or electrical insulation be careful, they might contain asbestos. I think the type shown in the video is too new for that, but if you have no other clues, look at the manufacturing year and contact the manufacturer if they're still in business.

Good to know, tx !

They use bricks as thermal mass? Smart. I always thought they were oil-filled, and that was the weight. Same for washers and clothes dryers, btw. They sometimes have blocks you might be able to remove and lug separately.

@@soulsearchingsun83 Oh yes! Of course, need to check that before messing about. 👍🙂
