Ah yup - it is our kitchen. I’m stood in the doorway to our back room In the photo! There was originally a door where the mirror is, which was boarded up. A large doorway was the cut in between the kitchen and rear living room and the whole thing extended out double length.
I mentioned that...
Morning all - cheers for the replies!
I think you're right - might just have to bite the bullet and expose the inside of the stud and see what's there.
I agree - I'm sure that I remember my dad - who rebuilt the stairs and upper floor in my mums house, also a 1930s semi, that it in effect...
Evening all.
I’m looking for a bit of advice on a little project I’m hoping to complete over Easter.
Currently our tumble drier and washing machine sit proudly under our stairs. Electric, ventilation and water are already in there - but it’s a pain, as there’s not really enough space for a...
Ha! My maths is out by a factor of 100. Needless to say, having thoroughly redone - it seems to work pretty perfectly.
No idea, apart from being thick.
Is my 48w at 12v not 4A? Surely not? Am I missing a division there or am I being daft and relying too much on a web calculator.
Evening all. Usual caveat - I will employ someone - but I like to have my head (as best as I can!) around what needs to be done.
I’ve built some custom alcove units at home for the boss and she seems pretty happy with them!
currently, I have a double triac dimmer serving one ceiling light with...
That sounds good to me!
Definitely not one for DIY Electrics apart from POE cctv stuff!
I’ll still post a diagram but I’ll ask him to recommend fittings and leave it there!
cheers again
It’s probably my lack of knowledge informing that!
Im also probably guilty of thinking back to my gcse electronics 20plus years ago!I’ll try and sketch a diagram.
would I not be reliant on the fittings having sufficient space? Or is that a given?! I assume daisy chaining these lights is quite...
Thanks for the reply!
Ideally yes - Although In all honesty - if the PIR and D2D work well they probably wouldn’t need a switch.
There’s not much room in the meter cupboard so any JB would have to be surface mounted or on the external wall. I would use conduit I think as there’s a few meters...
Afternoon all.. another post prefaced with the 'I WILL get the professionals in' caveat.
I'm just trying to see the practicalities of my proposal!
I currently have a PIR security light - directly wired into my mains consumer unit, protected by an RCD.
I'd like to take the mains feed to a...
Sorry John, both the lights and the shower feed are on the protected side as far as I know. I’ll have a look later! Just a look, mind.
Thanks for your replies!
Thanks all.
I think its safe to assume (you know the old saying!) that the electrics are (mostly) compliant as its been rewired periodically over the last few years. I know that the hot water tank is also the proud owner of an earth strap..
From my very, admittedly, limited knowledge the...
Afternoon all. Firstly - I should preface this comment with the fact that I have a sparky coming next week - but I'm just trying to get my head around it so I don't look like an idiot when he comes round!!
The situation is thus... I'm in the process of putting a new bathroom in for the mother...
Ah! Patlock. We had one before we installed bi folds. To be honest - I hadn't even considered that. Dunno how well they'd stand up to the northern weather being placed externally!!
I'll investigate!
Cheers gents. I think I'd be inclined to bolt right through so that's a good idea.
Mike - did you post a picture or link? If so - I can't see it!
Cheers,
Tom
