The building is only 5-6 years old. I clearly remember telling the electrician, reminding him, I wanted the grounds hooked up as well. I shouldn't even have to say anything. Why didn't I check this ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- earlier? Why should I have to?
Almost all the electricians around here (rural NE Thailand) just don't care, don't think it is necessary, it isn't their standard. What I don't get though is, I know there is a proper earth ground point at the back, for the aircon, so why the hell don't they just hook it up to that?
If there ever were any people of talent in this town, they long since left, to the big smoke, chasing better money.
Unfortunately it is another example of where, to get something done properly around here, I must become an expert myself and either do it myself, or literally stand over the guy that does it.
The one sparky around here I trust will pop over tomorrow, better check rest of the house too.
