I use an inverter (like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/IMO-1HP-3-PHASE-DIGITAL-INVERTER-CONVERTER-110V-1-PHASE-INPUT-LATHE-MILL-DRILL-/150905734996?pt=UK_BOI_Industrial_Automation_Control_ET&hash=item2322aec754) to run my three phase tyre machine from 240v single phase. It works perfectly...

What a beast!

The compressor i've got is completely overkill (100L 3hp) but it can just sit in the garage. I've got a 30m hose for it, which should work it's way around most of the house.

MK do modular data outlets, as seen here: http://rbstaronline.co.uk/acatalog/MK_Euro_Datacon_Frontplates.html you can then put whatever modules you like in there (TV, Phone, etc): http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Index/Computer_Accessories_Index/Computer_RJ45_Mod_1/index.html

:) I figured mains ones wouldn't be up to it atall... So something like this would be worth while? http://www.amazon.com/Factory-Reconditioned-DEWALT-D51257R-16-Gauge/dp/B003QHSX3K

cool, so am I looking for something around 15/16 gauge then?

Hi, I'm currently working on a renovation project of a 4 bedroom house. The place has been completely gutted and replaced and I'm now working on the final bits of the 2nd fix. Having found an auto loading screw gun an absolute godsend for plasterboarding the ceilings and walls, I thought...

a bit of lube may help if it is conduit: http://www.3mselect.co.uk/p-1486-3m-cablewire-pulling-lubricant-021-litre.aspx?gclid=CIbKwfH_mLICFVMbtAodm1oA0Q

I didn't think you could have unshuttered outlets in a domestic installation, but I might be wrong. I seem remember when I was looking to install my air compressor in my garage, I found a standard 16A commando socket couldn't be installed, so ended up going for an FCU - could be another option?

are you saying that this "temporary socket" is connected directly to the cable that disappears off to the left of your picture? If so, this isn't really safe.

:shock: That's why is says switch off supply before removing fuses!

I am currently re-designing my first floor bathroom to incorperate an ensuite to one of the bedrooms. In doing this I will need to change the soil pipe configuration, so that the pipe from the bathroom and ensuite toilets runs under the floor. The existing soil stack is shown in the top...

sounds like the best option to me! Thank you for the replies

Hi, I'm currently in the process of renovating my house, part of this is including installing a new central heating system. I'm having a plumber install a new combi boiler and i'll then do the rest from there. I'm intending on doing the whole lot in speedfit plastic pipe, which all 3 plumbers...

is it cheaper / more expensive than SWA? if its more expensive, what are its advantages over SWA? thanks again

it looks like it is actually straight concentric that supplies the house do you know where i would be able to get split concentric - I have done some searching on t'internet and can't seem to find any suppliers?

there is a 60A RCD that everything goes through before it gets split off into several consumer units - theres one that covers most of the house - lights, sockets, shower etc there is another one that has the cooker and kitchen sockets on it - i added the kitchen ring because perivoiusly it...

Hi, thanks for the reply, The house currently only has a 60A supply at the moment anyway - it is an onld house and tbh the electrics need some attention at some point anyway - the consumer units in the house appear to be protected by an rcd that is rated at 60A so i thought it best to split...
