Thanks, yes, I just wanted to show the black switched live heating wire going to the boiler so was a bit careless...I can't afford to run the boiler constant, especially at current oil rates!! :D

Thanks, so black does not go into B...or is it wrong because I naively drew it back to T1 on the diagram? Thanks, Dan

Thanks so much Stem. I always double-check my understanding :), what you're saying in a visual sense is this: where I will use a wago to join the existing earth cables. The other end boiler-side terminals look like this: That doesn't change anything does it? Thanks Dan

Hi, I have an existing Honeywell CM927 thermostat that connects to a R6660D relay which in turn is connected to our Grant Vortex Pro combi oil boiler. The wiring looks like this currently: where: N – blue from mains and from boiler L – brown from mains L - brown from boiler and brown linked...

OK thanks, thought I was going mad... I did think, if that were the case, of reversing the orientation of the switches as they can be removed from the housing but your suggestion sounds better! Thanks once again, Dan

Hi, sorry to revive this thread 2 years later but I have only just got round to testing! One thing that is confusing is the only order of load/output connections on the switches that works is where the led lights up (and consequently the light attached to it) when the switch is depressed at the...

Hi, My 6m x 5m garage seems to have had a previous woodworm activity in the rafters that I noticed today. Coupled with the fact that most tools I have in there start to rust, I've come to the conclusion the ventilation is probably poor causing high humidity levels. It is detached, single skin...

Good idea. It's why I got this mega scaffold as it allowed me to create two towers to span a porch although I didn't use a ladder!

Thanks Shagster, that's more the clamp I was thinking of and thanks for giving me the correct 'transom' terminology. Anything is more stable than what I've got and would allow me to use the planks I've been doubling up with, so I'll see if I can pick up three tubes locally long with the clamps...

A couple of years ago I tried to sort a couple of vertical cracks in the external render. I made the cracks into a wider channel and filled it with Murex Toupret. The fix lasted for a while but I notice the Toupret has started to crack itself or where it meets the masonry. I've attached a...

Thanks, yep, one of those is more than I paid for it...may have to think a bit laterally for cheaper options. I could flog it and get something more standard, just seems a shame not to be able to use it as intended without spending a lot of money.

Maybe it did use pre-made deck sections but I can't see a way of knowing. It might explain the odd sizing! I have to erect it over the next few days so will get a picture of it.

I measured the sections I have and they are actually 2.8meters long. I can't find any horizontal brace that fits that size, they're all 2.7m which appears to be a standard size. My tower actually came with diagonal support braces but they don't solve the problem of supporting the planks at safe...

Thanks John, that kind of thing makes more sense!

A couple of years ago I brought a hefty scaffold tower locally that was in good nick, that I painted and used once. Being that each section is 3 metres long, the tower footprint was a hefty 3 metres square. It came with no middle braces (or whatever the terminology is) which meant that I used...
