Think I’m covered

What’s the difference though really? A bit of masking tape I can pull off or a blanking plate I can err….. pull off. The only ones that fit are the unsecured pull off type and masking tape I already had. As the only occupant of the house I’ll try and remember not to pull it off, but then again...

I’ve sorted it.

I don’t have a blank and the only person I can think of that might have a blank of that vintage is you. I want the consumer unit replaced but the 3 electricians I’ve asked to quote have said no problem once you’ve had an isolator fitted. Energy supplier happy to charge £140 to fit an isolator...

That depends on your definition of exposed. Could I put my finger in and touch the bus bar, yes. So does it meet IP requirements, No.

Understand that to be a C1 as accessible to main bus bar.

Looks like a C1 to me, could possibly be a C2 with the CU cover on, but the CU has got a missing blank I think making it a C1 as well. As those are the incoming tails with no isolator does the responsibility of that C1 rest with the supplier or me? Tails are in good condition just poorly...

Thanks for the insightful none judgemental response. By switch/outlet I meant switch ‘and’ outlet or just outlet. You’re other responses have as usual proven invaluable. Given you’re not sure what the issue is thanks for your suggestions. I’m not a fan of the plates you suggest as ramming...

Yeah I’m still undecided on wether I’m going to put a switch/outlet in or just go with an outlet. Sorry not been very clear, the gap between plasterboard face and block work total is 25mm. Don’t wanna have to chop the block about for 2 reasons really. First one I’m lazy, second one I’ve never...

Because the cooker switch requires a minimum depth of 35mm, I don't want to cut more into the block and I don't want a metal back box proud of the plaster surface.

So I’m into the new house, the one I’ve got the new RCBO board for and what fun I’m having discovering the current writing state. Thought the kitchen would be good, after all how hard can it be…… Soo I’ve got accessories on the downstairs ring final. I’ve got accessories on the upstairs ring...

The cabling and pipework for the boiler are quite widely spread in the garage, I'm having a partial conversion done into office space and want to minimise the foot (wall) print to just the boiler.

Thanks JW

Hi All, Currently my heating controls are in the garage with the boiler, after fitting a hive last week I was considering moving them into the airing cupboard and taking the following approach, has anyone got any glaring gotcha's I've perhaps not considered please. System is Y Plan Currently...

Hi John, Have you had a look with diskpart at the drives from command line? I've had this happen on both mircosd and usb thumb drives that have been tampered with to present higher capacity than actually available. What usually happens is the low end of storage becomes entirely un usable and...

Hi, Can you give me more details of the system please. Is it a thinkcentre m (whatever) There are upgrade paths available which will eek you another couple of years out of it. Most pertinent question is what do you want to do with it? If it's gaming you'll need a discrete GPU of some...

Can you define a good old fashioned *******ing for me please? His power won't be turned off suddenly, there will be a boundary set that it will automatically go off at 9pm, regardless of what he might be doing. I'm not going to just arbitrarily turn it off because I feel like it. Then he will...

Thanks for that invaluable advice. I can only assume that you consider yourself to be a perfect parent able to offer such sage words to a complete stranger? P.S. Shave your feet, you look a right state.
