Many thanks all Highest device is a MacBook Pro M1 whose power adapter is a 140w with output of 20.5 volts and 5 amps The only reason I got a UPS is that we (neighbours too) used to get a lot of power fluctuations and I didn't want it to damage any of my stuff, also wanted to be able to do a...

Hi all, have a new puppy that’s chewing everything. I have a ton of audio gear that is powered from a UPS. All the cables my pup can get to, use those power supplies built into the plug, and the actual plug isn’t accessible to my puppy. I’ve tried spraying those puppy deterrent sprays, he...

Thanks, he’s getting the kitchen redone either later this year or next year so will either hat a new gas hob then, or get an electrician to put in proper cooker sockets Thanks everyone

Hi, sons old inbuilt oven packed up and I said I’d help him for a new one. What I wasn’t expecting is for it to be wired into a junction box that has a cable connected to somewhere that isn’t even 2.5mm, looks more like lightning cable. Looking at the fuse box there is a thick cable not sure...

Baxi coming out Tuesday, thanks for the advice

Attached is a crude drawing showing the attic, the blue being the accessible part, and the red is behind the plasterboard. I‘ve just drilled a couple of holes (green mark on pic) so I can see the attic floor behind, zero insulation. There’s a date on the Velux windows saying 1992

Boiler was here when we moved in, is guarantee transferrable? If so, I’ll get my son to phone them up

At his house. Here are more pics of the attic, loads of condensation on inside of both windows

British Gas coming out on the 11th
