yes i totally agree... i didnt even think about that until you just said. learning from a book isnt the easiest way and over the course of a year im going to forget things if im not putting them into practice on a daily basis. (some more obvious than others) but i shall get there, and hopefully...

thanks for your advice, ill put a socket on today in the cupboard using the oven supply cable.. sounds the best option. BAS thanks for your informative comments, thought you'd have something to say at some point. unfortunately im having to do home learning courses and not able to do practical...

right thats not a problem... theres a socket on the cooker isolater switch. the cable that wont be used is plastered into the wall and then tiled above, can i cap it off? i know the ideal way would be to take the cable out but it would stilll be there for future use.. thanks

just brought a new built in cooker comes with moulded plug in 1mm cable. rated at max 2400w. taken the old one out and theres 2 6mm cables behind there one going into the hob and one for the cooker. ive chopped the moulded plug off the new cooker and and ratchet crimped the 1mm to the 6mm...

thanks for the replies i shall try it out.

hi im re decorating my living room and wanting to take the artex off the ceiling to re-do as a smooth finish... anyone know the best way?

ok thanks for the advice steve, i shall try it out.

thanks for the reply... in the junction box its just a choc block, supply in one side and the 3 loads to the other, so tried individually that way. the UV is new to me, theres a pipe coming from the pump to the UV then back out the UV into the filter box (tank) and apparently it lights up at...

ive been trying to get these pond pumps to work and its not happening for me.. probably a simple answer to it.. the circuit is: An RCD plug with a 3 amp fuse in, 2.5mm artic cable coming from that to the outside through conduit into a junction box. from that there is 3 x 0.75mm. 1 = and...

thats why i come on here, to get other peoples ideas. i know swa is the obvious one but the hituf looked like it could do the job as well. so i asked.

yes its on a concrete slabbed base, just had to raise it though with 2 inch batons to prevent rot... ill be boarding it out inside to make it more solid and secure and putting a decent lock on the door.. i dont want to spend loads on an alarm just something that'll go off if someone gets in...

make the connection then.. what cable would you suggest?

is 3 core hituf cable acceptable for use as a permanent supply to my shed from my cu (clipped directly along the top side of the wall down the gaden) with no additional protection. i believe it is just double checking. easier to isolate than the swa.

just brought a shed (10x8) ill be puttin electric up to it shortly for sockets and lighting and was wanting to put an intruder alarm in there as well for extra security.. is there any there suitable for sheds?

my cooker has just recently started tripping my cu.... it used to work before but now when i put it on it makes a humming noise then when it gets up to a certain temperature cuts out the rcd circuit its on at the board? any ideas? im guessin it needs some new part.

thanks just double checking.

do i need plannng permission or need to let anyone know to run a cable through my garden from my house to a cu in my shed?

thanks for that i agree it does look rubbish theres t & e runing from a spur to a switch then up into a outside light now need to put a junction box on to run a wire for another light... so you can imagine how it looks! the black cable will look a bit better though and easier to connect into the...

i wanted some black 1.5mm flex for outside just to run around the side of the house to go to each light, but i didnt think there was any that was suitale for outside unless in conduit. ( i know t & e isnt either) isnt there some you can get away with with the light obviously only operating at...

ive got these outside lights and the only come supplied with gromets for round cable and im puttin flat t & e in so need flat gromets but cant find any anywhere??
