So heres the door semi finished. Just need to paint it and I think its not too bad for a temporarily door. Its different.

Yeah they do but when I posted the pic it wasnt finished I've added a top half to it now.

Yeah but i like to be different. I have a small jack russ a 12 week old girl and 2 cats. The reason I did it was because I don't really want a door there but I don't want a baby gate either and at night I can keep the cats and dog out off the living room and off the sofas.

I decided to take a god awful looking door and make a stable door out of it untill I can afford to replace all my interior doors and this is it so far. Thoughts?

The dimmer is plastic but has a metal plate in the wall which is earthed. Its is and old house and does need updating the fuse box for example still takes the chunky and thin fuses that you slide inside a plastic holder but thats one of many things to be updated. Its the red wires im...

Thank you we are all great. When you say the load on the circuit do you mean the bulb? How will I know the rating? Al I can say for now is that yes there is an earth connected to the metal plate in the wall and the dimmer is a status 1 gang 1 way (250w) dimmer switch 40 - 250w 220v -...
