    Could someone help me calculate maximum demand for my house?

    What "glue" to repair pot

    EV charge point 60A-100A or not?

    Dishwasher - how much salt is too much

    Old laminate worktops after a rip-out – reusable or scrap?

    They are thrown in a skip. People removing old kitchens are doing it in the fastest way possible, which means most of it gets destroyed even if it wasn't already worn out and destroyed from use.

    18th Edition Changes

    The only change to 701 in Amd 4 is that 'birthing pool' was removed from the scope. Although there are other changes indicated in the margin, they are all nothingburgers, such as changing 'rms' to 'RMS', and '2.5m' to '2.50m'
