Thanks for the tips. I'll prob look at local places then. The wood does look thin on some of the online sheds.

Looking to buy a shed and have come across various shapes and sizes. I have now settled on a standard 7 x 6 shed with window as this will give me enough storage and work space. I loathe buying stuff out of B&Q (maybe screws, nails I can accept) but I find their sheds somewhat pricey. I...

Thanks John. Yes for PME I'd expect an earth loop no greater than 0.35Ω. I'll post results I get tonight.

So I need to find out the Ampere size of mccb that is installed on the lighting circuits?

Thanks for confirming the insulation testing. Its a new consumer unit with mccb for each circuit in the house. Earthing is PME if that helps.

Been a while since I have done DIY electrics in the house. I have wired a new light in the loft of a house I have moved into recently. So got my earth loop and insulation tester at the ready to finish the connection off. Tested for continuity and all ok. But rusty on the value required for...

Clearly you have the time to make pointless posts.

All I am looking to do is put empty suitcases in the loft and Christmas decorations. It won't be load bearing. If not using stilts though, are there other kits out there to raise the floor above the insulation? Thanks

In principle it seems a good idea, but I did wonder if it could handle load spread over. But, if the stilts were close enough then surely support would be much better I'd have thought?

Sure, I searched but I dont have the time to trawl all the pages when the results come up. Plus... it never answered my question anyway.

Anyone had experience with these? If so any good? http://www.diy.com/nav/build/insulation/loft-insulation/loft_storage_stilt/Diall-Loft-Storage-Stilts-12-Pack-11837507

Yes it's wooden posts I'll be using. Thanks for the heads up.

Moved into a new build and need to partition my garden from the nosey neighbours.... yes nosey neighbours! Always staring out when I am round the back! Anyway, the back fence is fine, already built by the builder, so I am looking to put a 6ft fence down either side of the house. Lengths are...

BT Infinity. Up to 40mbps, unlimited download.

The ipad is connected to the same router as my PC. Its just a wifi ipad, not 3G. Furthermore, its a fibre optic broadband connection I have. Shouldnt even be as low as 2mbps!

Run speed test on the ipad.... reads 15mbps. Run speed test on the PC..... reads between 2 and 6mbps.. A bit confused by this. Any ideas? Thanks

Er..... Couldn't you just ask the neighbour where he lost his nail......

After reading the thread...... Still confused.

The white curved parts of wood? Because the stairs twist, it'll be a bit fiddly to do.

So... the house builder took up half the cupboard with crazy boxing. Ie had to crouch to get in and out but from the pics you can see the clear line where this boxing came too. So we asked to have this removed as the other house we viewed of the same design had the full cupboard (theirs was left...
