I think the answer here is to get underfloor heating to evaporate the water back into the air.

Sounds like you need a retrospective alarm.

I wouldn't like to go as far as to say impossible. I'd envisage perhaps a coiled wired, like a phone receiver, that attaches to the spoon and an earthing point on the ceiling. It does of course create the dilema of how to put the spoons in the dishwasher. Perhaps the answer is the hand wash...

The spoon would become live and introduce a shock hazard to anyone retrieving the spoon. So what is the correct way to bond the spoon? Also, some of my spoons are a metal end on the wooden handle, do these still need to be bonded?

My guess would be that common is L but I would test for continuity between the terminals with a multimeter and that will tell you for sure.

What's your beef with ADT? Just curious as I moved into a house with an ADT alarm and the workmanship was, erm, below the standards which I myself would aspire to.

Yes, sorry, what I mean was, "if you establish that the immersion heater is faulty..."

Sounds like you need one of those "multimeters" that graphs the PD against time.

9 lamps! Sounds like you need a lamp consolidation, rather than a circuit consolidation!

Did he replace it with one of those "maintenance free" jobbies?

The fact that there's no hot water suggests that there's no power to the element. Those neon lamps do have a habit of failing but if there's no hot water, it's an effect rather than a cause. Immersion heaters do indeed have a habit of failing too and if nothing has changed on the circuit, then...

I'm trying to work out what use one would have for a hold button. It's not so hard to remember 2-3-0 while you write it down. Zero is even easier to commit to memory. I guess it's perhaps useful if you have one of those fancy meters that can report the PD to 10 decimal places. I don't think...

That would be me posting in the wrong topic again.

Quite so, although I suspect the 13.8V 6A bench PSU I had it plugged into should be more than sufficient for its needs.

I have a quad sound bomb and frankly it's a bit naff. It scares the cat and irritates the YL but that's about it.

I'm no expert. I make it about 2 tonnes of load, which is about what my car weighs, so I'd make it about as deep as a driveway. Probably would make the base 6' x 6'. How much concrete? No idea, is it sold by weight or volume? You probably need to work out 6x6x depth for the volume and then...

I think http://www.screwfix.com/search?search=plasterboard+spring are about the strongest fixing you'll get for plasterboard if you don't have a nogging available. No idea of their load bearing ability though nor if it's the right way to do it.

[/url] Please be mindful that the cable before the master socket is the property of BT. They'll likely be ****ed if you interfere with it. Putting a joining kit on it is a bit of a give away!

Depends if the OP only has wireless devices or not.

BT own the external drop-10 cable and the master socket in the bedroom, so you can't touch the cable or the backplate (officially). You can remove the faceplate from the master socket and there is a punchdown plate for running extensions off. Then you can run a cable via whichever route you...
