That, depends. I have done it several times, repairing various battery packs, but care is needed. A good hot iron is needed, with good thermal capacity. The battery terminals need to be clean, and in many cases, the soldering will need a more aggressive flux. Plumbers flux, works well, but must...

It's only the outer sheath which appears to be damaged/protection against mechanical damage, the pressure is contained by the inner hose, and the stainless steel wire armouring. Electrical tape, or self amalgamating tape, or similar, while be a perfectly satisfactory repair.

It looks as if it was simply wedged in place. Along the face of the wall, there should have been lengths of plastic U channel, screwed into place, for the soffit to slot into.

They suggested the payment, would be based on effective results, rather than an unconditional handout..

No, worse than that.. Twice as many antennas, means twice as much chance of one failing, apart from looking uglier. Next door obviously has four outlets, because they have four TV antenna on the roof. I have the option of up to 8 outlets, from my distribution amp, but only 5 are in use, all...

No, a pair should include both a right, and a left.

No, none.

That sets alarm bells ringing! Yes, but you need to investigate what has been added to that ring, how, and why all the JB's.... There was a method, more common in bungalows, where a ring would be installed in the loft, then a JB added where a socket was required, with a single 2.5mm dropped...

There is no such obvious tool for that. An electrical installation relies heavily, on who ever does the installation, to understand the regulations, and to apply them using common sense. You can only check the loading on a circuit, when the loads are applied to it. Joint boxes, on socket ring...

Yep, he does frequently try to score points for himself.

Not necessarily a disadvantage! We have a decent sized window in our bathroom/toilet. The fans PIR is triggered every time someone walks in the room, and it then runs for 20 minutes. The 20 minute run, after someone has had a bath. or shower - gets most of the airborne moisture out, but some...

Reading the data, this tri boom.
