Just hold the socket as you extract the plug and you shouldn't have a problem. I would check the power rating of the appliances (it should be written on a plate/label on the back). That will give you an idea of what current we're dealing with. In theory it's less than 13A per appliance as...

I prefer 20mm round conduit as you can attach it properly to the backbox. Oval just looks a bit crap stuffed into the hole. That said, dry lining boxes don't tend to have 20mm openings and also as they're a bit crap anyway it doesn't matter too much if the conduit looks crap too :-)

Engage your sparky before the work starts. Everyone on here will have their own opinion of how it should be cabled. Your sparky will have his/her own view too. Also, they'll likely not be very happy using an existing cable that disappears into the ground and reappears somewhere else, even if...

Wow, what a work of art. Is that right hand plug on a piece of T&E too? I'm assuming the hob and oven are electric and not gas with electric ignition? Do you know the current draw or power of the oven & hob? Do you if it's on it's own circuit or is it wired to the kitchen sockets along...

I've never really paid much attention, just stick them on until I remember to take them off. Some batteries don't really like being over charged but I've never had a problem with NiMH's. Nowadays I have one of those fancy chargers that does it all for you.

Wow, what an amazing wiring job. I think this post might be better in the Alarms, CCTV and Telephones forum, as it'll be more likely to been seen by someone who can provide a good answer.

No, it was misted. I'll bear that in mind for future jobs. Thanks for the assistance.

So really you're just the same as the OP. You don't like taking advice either.

Ahh, so the point is that although you have the power to affect a better outcome you don't believe you should* as you believe that the responsibility is on the other person. You might be interested to read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment ** * By better outcome, I mean using...

I was coming more from the angle that BAS might achieve a more positive outcome by simply presenting the same suggestion in a different way. I'm trying to understand BAS's logic. Maybe he actually believes that everyone else is wrong and his approach of calling people stupid f***ers really...

The paint (Dulux Matt Emulsion) was applied with a roller pretty evenly. The wall was replastered about year and a half ago, we painted it with two coats of white and two coats of the Dulux Matt Emulsion back then (after the wall had fully dried out) and had no issues. Earlier this year we...

To what ends? Are you just hoping to sound clever? Do you care if people take that advice or not?

You never did answer my question BAS: what do you posts hope to achieve? Also, do you have an amateur radio license?

Have a slight problem with a wall that was recently painted. The paint has started to crack in place. Any ideas what caused this and how one would go about remedying it?
