I have the same problem. A large ceiling with one power point for lights, and was considering a length of lighting track. So I can spread the light around.

My shed, wood, cost a lot more, due to the base and the power, and the lining. The same applies for brick built. Planning permission varies, if a listed building, distance from boundary, height, when I google I get results for Wales. There is a limit of courses which can be laid, within a set...

Sorry to report, it died.

I am not a heating engineer, but this looks wrong, I would have expected a seal above the open window in the panel. I found with a boiler in the garage, the seal was important, if damaged opening garage doors could blow out the pilot flame. But in my mothers house, removing the front cover...

I sat outside and watched him for nearly an hour. He does not seem injured, but better outside than in the house.

So if we get fibre, maybe time to get out the HB9CV and dust off the 2-meter set. The whole reason why I got into radio was on the Falklands no one would repair the telephone network, mainly as it went through a minefield, so good excuse, but 2-meter radios had replaced the telephone. When...

Just taken him or her outside again. They get in through the cat flap, we have a chip cat flap, but they have found a way around this, they get the cats to bring them in, so the flap opens for the cat. He is now in a garden box, with water and cheese, so he is out of sight of the cats, cheese...

The inverter is 5 kW, the panels 6 kW, it was assumed it would be rare to have maximum output from panels, so 5 kW is enough for the inverter, and that does seem correct. 39 kWh on 7th July 2026 is the best so far, I expected more near the solus, but the panels are on a south-west roof. The...

The cabinet, can both distribute and boost the signal, and often it needs power to boost the signal even when it both arrives and leaves as fibre. So my friend like myself, has batteries for his solar array, and can have part of his house on an EPS supply, so it made sense for power to the...

Yes agreed, we select a time zone in increments of an hour, so would not expect to be 15 minutes behind or in front of UTC, but in this country would expect midday or midnight to be 00:00 or 12:00 UTC not BST.

I was looking at which is the coolest room in the house. Not the actual temperature, and I had selected the flat as that was always the coolest room, so selected for beer brewing, had I not wanted to brew beer, I would not have been noting what temperature the flat was. As it stands it does not...

Halfway through the night, mid-way between dusk and dawn, what else could it mean?

Things have changed, only last night did I realise I could set tariff with zigbee. I need to do some research.

I am never alerted by lights turning on. Curtains closed, never see outside lights turn on, which happens when daughter visits, as she has access to the Google Home app. There is an annoying gate light, across the valley, which shines into my bedroom, it is a fair distance away, but still...

At the moment 16:04 UTC.

I use a small AC, with the exhaust connected to the open hearth flue, this cools my living room, near enough. I looked at the idea of fans. 1) Need to ensure outside cooler than inside. 2) Need to only run when inside is too hot. A) bedroom (mine) only used at night so 1) does not apply. Have...

OK, I only worked with the Dutch. In Algeria of all places.

The original used a quartz halogen lamp around 300 watt to light the way. Moving to LED also resulted in one lamp being fitted to the shed. This would light my way new shed to old shed, the latter now gone, but then corner lights on the house sorry second daylight shot, would light my way...

For me, the main house and flat are both mine. And I have repeatedly told the council that there is no way I can rent the flat, as they share water, electric and the heating system. Every so often they try to claim double council tax if I don't rent it out, as which I say OK I will live in...

Fibre optic cable needs some device somewhere to turn it into electrical signals, this needs power, so will be plugged in, and we would hope you can still use the phone when there is a power cut so also some battery to back it up. I know my friend had it installed, and used the inverter supply...
