TJ's domain



apprentice sparky laying cables

Tony set TJ to work laying the electric cables for the lights and the fire-detection system (it's probably called something else more technical, but you get the idea). The boys worked away placing sockets and lighting positions, Tony all the while explaining why cables shouldn't have kinks in them, how three-way switches work, and all that kinda stuff.



time for a break

They worked their socks off for hours, and TJ ran I don't know how many trips down to the ground floor to collect tools and equipment, like a real apprentice. He never shirked, never complained, took pride in his work, while Tony heaped on the praise, and asked loads of intelligent questions. Tony was in his element. He now has a buddy to help him re-wire the rest of the house in the coming months.






 

Later that week TJ 's mate George came round. Once TJ had shown him round the attic and explained what he planned to put where, George stated that this was going to be his second home from now on.
