    Conspicuous by their Absence

    I always find that slightly amusing. "Kid killed in street by taxi" "Salt of the earth, lovely boy would make someone a fine husband when he grew up" Never the little sheite that threw bricks at your pet cat and played dodgems with taxis in the street, always the little angel. Still, as they...

    Should an electrician be wiring gas boiler controls?

    Oh dear me. Please tell me onlyfitidealboilers that you live in the south east and will only kill people who deserve to die.

    Baffled - Cutting wire tripped fuse board

    Not really. I'm not having a dig but when the re-wire/alterations were made the electrician should have found where that outlet was supplied from. If it was to be made redundant, all conductors should have been connected together so at any time in the future it would be obvious (maybe not) to...

    Electrical fires

    One of my drinking buddies was a fireman until last Friday. Government cuts and all that. More often than not, whenever there was a house fire where the chief investigative officer could not find an obvious fault ("Gas leak guv?" "Nah, the house is still there".) It was put down as an...

    Kitchen drawer removal

    Forgot to update this!! Was rummaging through a drawer for some tape. You know those plastic rivet things I mentioned in OP? Well. they take a wee self tapper from inside the drawer. Remove two of those, pull drawer out, as it gets to the end of the runner lift front up. Et voila...

    Electrician has left holes in interior brickwork

    Looks like the old communication connection lead. The one where you put an empty baked bean can on both ends!

    Electrician has left holes in interior brickwork

    That is a mess. Or a diorama of Mt. Vesuvius. I notice that all the earth lugs are in the top right corner as well. Nothing like making it easy to get the earth strappers in!

    Appliance in same understairs cupboard as gas meter?

    Gasa install pipes should be 150mm away from meters, CU's switches, outlets. Supply cables 25mm Unless non combustible insulation barrier is used. Thats in OSG which quotes BS6891

    Fitting BNC plugs

    Recently had a look at my locals cctv system, but it's something outside my area of expertise, so tbh, was sort of fiddling in the wind. Anyway, t'other day one of the broken cameras started again. So re-looking at the back of the video/dvd machine a few of the plugs look a bit battle worn...

    Wiring new light fitting

    You can put the two reds however you like. Whichever is easier for you to do. Andy has it right apart from one thing I'd suggest. Don't just knock the mcb off that controls the lights, knock all the power off. Best done when Emmerdale is on!! ;) EDIT!! See Andy suggested that anyhow! I'll...

    LED downlights in my Hall

    I'd say 6. 4 on the main run with the last at the top of the 'T' and one central on each leg of the 'T' top. The JCC's are brilliant, and not in the lighting sense of the word!! Of which they are also!
