especially when cable warms up....

wow. thats a real big help... that narrows it down to just about every alarm with a keypad....

bein twisted wont have much effect. as for running at top of joist, they should be protected by a steel plate to protect again nails etc. some people would rather put them in existing notches for a few reasons. 1 its easier and 2 you dont weaken the joist even more. socket does look a mess...

just a quick note to say that im goin to work abroad for around 6 months and wont have internet access where ill be living so i doubt ill be around much

addin to above, each phase is 120 degrees apart. which is why you dont go from 230 to 460. phase-phase gives 400V. now, if there was no difference between each of the 3 phases, it would be easier just to have phase and neutral... in a balanced 3 phase circuit, there is nothin travelling...

its split phase. think of a 110V transformer. you have 55V phase to earth and 110V phase-phase. now, if the earth was your neutral, and each 55V was your phase, there 180degrees apart 3 phase are always 120 degress apart

GO CALL A SPARKY. YOU OBVIOUSLY DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR DOIN. and there is a key to the left of keyboard saying 'caps lock'. go press it. (and can you tell me the way from leeds to aberdeen?)

unless whoever comes to your house is speeding to get there, the police wont be interested. after all, gatso's are the bets thing at preventing crime

180 degress in split phase...

xenon gas bulbs do give a blue tint, but for the 'true' effect you need HID's. probably 8-10K for even bluer

your fee to LABC covers them testing. they cannot charge you extra if you cant test, altho many try to.

you need to put fuel in car

you dont need £200. got a makita 2Kg SDS for £110 a years ago. and its never had any problems. and there still around that price
