    Loft clear-out and rewire

    You can't just remove the ceiling rose in your loft as it's basically being used as a junction box, you'd need to replace the cables completely to do away with it. For me if everythings working correctly I'd use either a wago or hager maintenance free junction box, connect it all into the box...

    How often do you injure yourself?

    So, back at hospital today for a follow up to the table saw finger. Dr wasn't happy with it, he thought the xray showed something still in it so they injected a local anaesthetic into the finger, split it all open again and abraded the life out of it. Got to go back to hospital again...

    Adding New Kitchen Socket on the ring

    Everyone is aware of what you want to do and it is ok to do it that way, but it's easier and uses less cable and connections to do it as a 4mm spur

    Adding New Kitchen Socket on the ring

    Stop using chatgpt it's wrong. Wago's behind a socket are fine as they are still accessible and where you'd expect to find connections, they need to be in a maintenance free box when they are going to be inaccessible such as plastered into a wall or buried under a floor. EFLI's suggestion of...

    What regulations do you think stop you having wago's behind a socket?

    Adding New Kitchen Socket on the ring

    If it's definitely a ring then you remove one cable from the existing socket, extend that to the new socket then run a new cable between the new socket and the old socket. It would be better if you could replace the cable your extending with wago's but that isn't always practical, if the back...

    Rachel Reeves budget

    I'm in the current 40% bracket, I'd happily see it increased to 45% if I thought the money actually went where it's needed but it doesn't, it'll end up lining the pockets of those that are fleecing the government. The biggest issue is the mismanagement of the current money raised, the NHS is a...

    Advice regarding Tado system bypass

    If you want to have a bypass radiator then the simplest option is to remove one tado trv and replace it with a conventional trv and leave it on 5. If you have the tado wall thermostat then the radiator in which ever room the wall stat lives shouldn't have a tado trv on it anyway otherwise it...

    Crown In Floor Due To RSJ

    Yeah there was a bit of a mistake with the level of the extension but laying 36mm in the existing bedrooms makes them meet nicely.

    Beko wdx8543130b not spinning

    Hi all, I've been informed by she that scowls that the washing machine isn't working. I put a half load in it and put it on a daily quick cycle which should be about 28 minutes. The door locks, the machine fills with water then it just sits there with 27 minutes on the timer, after another...

    Dunno about arresting them. They should give them time off for services to the community.

    Actually I do think they should be kept alive, they should have to live with fear in prison of what other inmates are going to do to them.

    How often do you injure yourself?

    The work piece didn't snag, like a **** I looked away from what I was doing and continued to push the work piece into the blade. It's sore but it'll all heal fine.

    How often do you injure yourself?

    As thread title really, Today I caught the end of a finger in a table saw resulting in a fracture to the end of the finger and the tip being a bit of a mess. 5 months ago I caught another finger in a chop saw but that was just a deep cut so not too bad. Aside from that I've not had a power...

    Crown In Floor Due To RSJ

    Hi all, I'm fitting a new floor to an upstairs room as the original floor is excessively noisy, I thought it was originally due to a plumber trapping pipes across an rsj and nailing the floorboards around it causing them to crown and not fit together correctly. Now I've the floorboards up...
