Sold my 20K & got a 5% ISA that gives £1k a year. I have only been getting £500-740 per year on winnings.

Grey area for electrics. But building regs on a new build is plaster & render should be 15mm thick for fire & sound safety. 25mm oval conduit is 11mm deep & a 4mm plaster cover sounds good.

Even worse ,LOL

If they are replacing the incoming main it would be a good time to either fit a new & larger cabinet or think about a new place for the fuse board & meter. With the new smart meters, they are conected to the mobile network & dont think they worry where the meter goes. Always worth a letter or...

Same as me, but a Citroen C1 @ £20 road tax as i wasn't giving £210 to the robing government car tax again for the jag & the strange thing there is more room in the drivers area in the C1. The other strange thing is around town the C1 is better on fuel, but on a long run the jag was a lot better...

I felt old the other day when i see Led zeppelin's Stairway to heaven was 50 years old.

Out of curiosity? Is this a house or flat as i see the incoming main to the head is in conduit & not that large. Don't think i have seen this in a house. & is that cabinet on an outside wall or a covered area.?

There's a good point from Ericmark, check who you pay your bill to & they might have all the info you want. I get this, & a lot more that i cant get on a screen shot.. & its only 24 hours out of date. showing to the half houir. KWh & price, day by day from Good energy

Well done, very unusual to see these adapters with a fuse, many dont & would mean a lot of tooth brushes & shavers backed up buy a 32A fuse & both would lose as they only want a 3A fuse.

Couple of things to look at. Government bringing in a 3p per mile tax on electric in 2027 = £150 per 5000m. Also get some insurance quotes as insurance company's have been hit hard on some claims. Also the cost of a service over 5 years. One last thing is fast electric charging is around the...

He is a plumber, with some help, he is half way there.

When i moved out of London "Good move" i had drawn a line from the wash in the east to Bath in the west & anywhere south of the line & spent 6 months looking for a new house.. Now many areas i could not afford & ended up in Norfolk. Not the most mountains of areas & not the prettiest., but...

1st look at you old bill & new to see what your tariff is. I'm with this company Goodenergy & pay 24p peak & 6.6p off peak from 12 to 5am. I have a large 2200lt hot water tank & i have that on a timer for 3 hours a night & it takes 3-4kw in total to heat up. So at 4kw it runs about 1h:20m at...

If your confident enough & can do the work properly? , you might be able to do all the works & get an fully registered electrician to come & do a periodic inspection as you might be renting the house out for a year or two. If not & your on sites?, see if there is any apprentices about to 2nd...

When you get the new fuse board & if there is room, ask for a board fitted with RCBO's & at least 2 spare fuse ways for any later date.

The reason for many item with 2 pin plugs "read the instructions" is to use them via a bathroom shaver point to prevent electric shocks in these types of rooms/environments with water/dampness present. This type of socket has a safety isolating transformer so it doesn't give out direct electric...

Not sure if your loft is like my one, but most are brown in colour & i fitted 3x25w led bulbs & the light is perfect. This is a bungalow & the lofts are often larger. I also found the 6000K brighter, but not so warm.

When you put the 1st coat on to fill the gaps, get a long straight edge that reaches across the area your filling & slap a load of plaser in the hole & use the float to really push it into every crack. Then pull the straight edge across the gap making sure nothing is proud. "Then let it dry" The...

Just to confuse things.

Thank AJB, thats made it a lot clearer. Cheers.
