I would suggest that the answer is no since unless people like you are on hand to oversee that the load is balanced we could have a fire on our hands.

This is true, but science maybe isn't about proving things, it is about predicting how the universe and everything in it works. Hawking says that a goldfish in a round bowl would have a distorted view of reality, but ( if it was a clever goldfish) could still come up with theories that could...

Hi, we have a 1 bed property and want to convert to 2 bed. The bathroom is 12ft by 8ft and we want to shrink this to about 5ft by 8ft and have a 7ft (just under) by 8ft bedroom. The bathroom will be accessible to both bedrooms through their own lockable doors. Would this add value to...

Unless that is, your name is Tiddles, or 'Lola'. I was walkin' down the highstreet the other day and I picked up a cat and threw it away... LOLA...L O L A Lola...

Then the need to decorate may come sooner than you expected :wink:

Flexible connectors to your rads are a great idea when you need to decorate! :D And that toilet was so far away from the wall, maybe the owner has a large ass and can't sit on a toilet that is too close to the wall...you didn't think of that did you? :wink:

I tried match and am now engaged. I recommended match to a friend at work, he is now living with a new partner. Match can work too. P.S. none of the above people are from non EU countries or need a visa :P

Your main concern when working with 24VDC is that you do not short circuit the power supply and cause damage to it or other devices powered from it. If the power supply is of high enough wattage a short circuit in theory could cause a burn if your skin happens to be next to where the short is...

So the dead horse in the living room could be attracting all these flies?...hmm...interesting.

'Ask Elvis' comes to DIYnot!

At work a few months ago they started telling eveyone to turn off their pc when they went home instead of leaving them on overnight. This was part of an energy cost saving exercise. Since then the number of pc's going wrong has sky rocketed and our 1 man IT team has been very busy changing...

It's a new take on becoming carbon neutral :wink:

Surely in any job if you can't come in to work because you haven't sorted out your childcare arrangements then the company has a right to discipline you. And if it keeps happening they have the right to sack you regardless of your race or sex.

Often on this forum I have seen work like this and have come to a conclusion. To be an electrician I think you have to have a propensity to be tidy and to err on the side of caution. Cable terminations and runs have to be 'just so', if there is any bare conductor showing, or if a trunking...

I can never understand this exemption, changing like for like. Once a guy brought an extension lead in to work that he had changed the plug on. He said the washing machine that was powered by this lead failed to work. I then explained to him that he had the earth wire and live wire...

My future parents in law had one of these fail recently, it was just the triac that had gone short circuit. I fitted a higher current device for a couple of quid.
