    Widening an old fireplace with a 45 degree chimney

    I'll grab a photo and full measurements tomorrow but the fridge is 91cm wide (so making the gap 100cm) the height is up to the top of the brick opening (i.e where I've taken the brick out to see behind it) and it's deeper than the fireplace is but we're fine with it sticking out so we'll only...

    Widening an old fireplace with a 45 degree chimney

    Hi all, I've got an old dis-used fireplace on the kitchen that I'm hoping to get widened to fit an American sized fridge freezer as it's currently just dead space.

    Is this CU correct?

    Hi all, I've had a look inside my consumer unit (picture below) and it looks like there are 2 RCCB's in there but there's one at either end but on doing some investigation i get the impression that these should have the fuses that they protect on the left or right but on mine there are 8...

    Lower main avenue drain cover

    I'll take off the top layer and see where it is level too, I don't mind it being slightly higher than the top of the slabs as we'll eventually re-slab it all anyway so we can always raise it back up a bit and yeah, I'll clean all the inlets out before i put the new cover (and frame) back on) but...
