I can only try my best I guess. we'll see how it goes. Shud be OK otherwise am screwed.

Yeah sounds good. Is it just as easy to night set the G2 with the keyfob because my sister wants to arm just downstairs at night. Don't want Amelia setting off the alarm at 3am because she had a bad dream or something

The scantronic ion 16 is there a cheaper Ethernet alternative ? The official module is quite pricey. I know the keypad can be wireless but I want remote monitoring and servicing.

In their defence I guess moving house, managing new born isla and taking care of 1yr old amelia is stressful. Amelia constantly fighting for attention. Partly due to my inexperience fast fault as well. Anyways the only thing I don't like is the keypad and end station being in one. Pull that off...

Yeah I don't recommend them since its just as easy to unplug. The battery backup hasn't been maintained. The siren hasn't been maintained either so where is the alarm getting its power.

Ideally don't want to do any drilling. But why would I need to drill for a completely wireless system. I was planning on 8 pir

Around 200 To 300 quid is that enough?

that's exactly what I used. I didn't know they were called mole grips. I couldn't get any grip on it. LOL. I feel so stupid. I'm guessing by the number of ppl who have read and not replied, what I did was very stupid. Not to mention I have perfectly useable drill bit stuck in the wall. In my...

I was trying to use my **** bosch sds drill to drill through one skin block and one skin brick. I need a hole for a cable feeding the security lights. The issue is the joist was very close to the wall. I thought I'll drill from the outside in. I was told to drill a hole through the joist then a...

Hi Am an inexperienced but qualified electrician. I did a rewire on my sisters house. She told me to remove the thermostat so I did. Now the timer doesn't work. I called in our gas man he rewired it but the timer still doesn't work but is at least functional. I want to know the following How...

Hi guys I know there are both led variants for GU10 and MR16 bulbs so I was wondering is there any advantages in using more expensive led down lighters? Are they more energy efficient? Any other advantages if so? Just trying to weigh up pro and cons because they're like 3 times the price...

Geez why are down lighters so complicated. I have NEVER installed them before. My first question I have a kitchen How many lights do I need. If there is a trade rule of thumb I would like to know about it. Also AFAIK the transformers feeding the lights don't have loops like ceiling...

Hi Whilst I was at college for my 17th edition amendment 1, I didn't come across a reg that says it's compulsory. I was taught it's just for plasterer so their trowel doesn't snag cables. I was told that on new builds I should use steel capping. The stuff I brought was PVC because it's cheaper...

you talking about the bodged cable run? Yeah I didn't think of that I rushed it. My work wouldn't let me take time off. The director wasn't there so my project manager didn't let me take the week off. It took me most of the day to get that flaming cable down. In the end I just went mental with...

It's what us IT folks do. If in doubt blame someone else lol. so as long as I've not damaged the cable and I've clipped it to the joist, it doesn't matter have slanted the run is right ? the run of cable in the diagram is underneath the floorboards. The run is very slanted. isn't straight at...

All right time to come clean. I was embarrassed to admit I did this bodge job. I didn't want to use alot of cable. Next time I will do it properly. Anyway here's a picture of representation of what i've done. This picture is a looking down as if the floor was transparent. The bit thats...

Hi I'm not a fully qualified spark. I went down under the floor boards to have a look. I saw at least 4 cables being ran horizontally from the back of the house across the floor then into the consumer unit . The lad done this because the easiest route from the extension isn't a straight line...
