doblo7 Thanks for the info and the positive approach. Michael

Thank god for that. At the beginning of the post I was pretty motivated and hoped that I would be able to make a career out of plumbing (plumbing is a career not just a service), however the first few post certainly put a downturn on my plans. I thank you for your replies and understand that...

I agree with what you are saying and understand the point you are trying to make. I do not expect to to become a competent plumber merely by attending college or evening classes, however as corgiman correctly pointed out in order to change career you will need to take a drastic pay cut. I...

I hope someone can help. At the present moment I'm a programme manager but want to change my career. I have always liked plumbing and have recently started night classes in plumbing. I'm looking for some guidence regarding the qualifications needed to become a qualified plumber. I know...

I have just replaced a fan in my brothers house and the red was the constant live, the yellow the switch live and the blue was the neutral.

geo-b Why suspend the rockwool in the cavity, could it not simply lie on top of the garage roof. Just asking Cheers

I'm going to be building a brick (facing brick) wall at the front of my house and then sitting a railing on top. I'm not exactly sure of the control height that the wall can be built including the railing. Can anyone help Cheers

mason thanks for your reply. The top step 1m x 1.5m and I'm likley to place a large foot mat on top of the tiles. I know that it then seems pointless but the slabs don't realy do much for the look of the extension. Thanks anyway, I think that i'll take a trip to tops tiles Cheers

I have recently had an extension built and would like to tile the outside concrete steps. Could anyone answer the following: what is the best tiles do i need any special adhesive do i need any special grout what is the best edging for finishing the tiles off should i apply any no slip...

Just thought. Is the FCU easy to connect. Never seen the inside of one and unsure, is it the same a connecting a new socket red-red, etc Cheers

Plugwash Thanks for your help :D

Ok So I will do the following Run 2.5mm cable from the JB to a 13 amp FCU and then take a spur from this with a double socket. I will also run 2.5mm cable to a 3 amp FCU and the run 1.5mm cable to the outside light This will mean that I can then take a spur from the double sockets at...

Plugwash Once again ta I will connect the FCU to the JB with 2.5mm cable an then connect the new socket to the FCU and connect the light to the FCU also. Can I then spur off again from the new spur I have taken from the FCU, would this be OK because the FCU would protect all spurs

Plugwash Thanks for your reply. :D How many spurs can I safely take from the FCU Cheers
