Well observation changes its state . So , If it’s on ,then when the inspector comes to check on things , when he observes it ,it would change its state to off . Quantum insurance against prosecution

So in theory if I wanted to take this to the extremes which some people out there would do . Providing If it does end up one 800 Watt system per circuit. I could run 2 x 800 watts systems from the garage on the 2 seperate circuits and another 2 x 800 watt systems from the ground floor and...

Thank you all . So as both radials have there own MCBs that would allow me to connect two 800 watt systems . Yes my next question was gonna be battery storage but it seem the government haven’t got that far yet, shame . I’m not an electrician so don’t jump on me but wouldn’t the 6mm T&E 32 Amp...

So you are allowed one 800 watt plug in system per socket circuit under the regs . My garage is supplied by a 6mm armoured cable from the house consumer unit to the gararage consumer unit . In the garage there is two seperate radials one running the pond equipment and another more powerful 32...

Cheers guys. Laying bricks I found to be quite easy , blocks are a pain. Pointing things up well I found in the beginning to be harder than laying The main problem with having no experience is the time it takes . Something that would take a brickie two hours to lay was taking me two days in...

Gable blues . So I’ve ran out of reds an only have 8 left and my local shop ain’t got any left but I still need to do the final course at the top of the gable . Apart from a bit of front damage that needs repointing I’m quite impressed with my results so far taking into account I had never laid...

Thanks woody. And thanks for the picture.

Cheers woody so mine is sort of ok . I also forgot to add I put ties in across each perp between a brick and block if you want to come down and finish for me though I wouldn’t say no.

I couldn’t find anything online showing the correct way to knit blocks and bricks together and I assume it’s an ok thing to do. So I did it in the only way that seemed sensible .but the old man 3 doors up who apparently was a builder came round to see what I was doing and said you can’t do...

Yeah your both probably right . It’s just that I dislike block walls with silly little cuts and hoping there was another way around it ,Even though in the back of my head I think I knew that was what I probably needed to do . Just gotta work out the best lay it out

If you saw the size of my angle grinder you wouldn’t be saying that: :) It’s like using a Dremel.

I’m building a garage the main side that you can see is brick but the back gable is gonna be rendered blocks . Due to this in order to keep the front looking good the bricks are being knitted into the blocks around the corner on the gable end . I’m sure you understand what I mean. It’s a...

Thanks

Nice looking garage
