So am I. Maybe this forum should be a restricted one?

Just an observation , interested in others views

No, but that is my point, like i say, to some changing a plug can be a serious task, wrong fuse protection, cables not secured, cabled incorrectly, wrong amperage cable, split cable etc etc. Anything to do with electrics are potentially life threatening, hence my point, is it a topic for a DIY...

Can i ask, why is the electrical forum on a DIY site when in most cases if any question is raised the usual response is get an electrician? Is it therefore a bit pointless as most qualified electricians would have no need to ask on a forum. "DIY can be both challenging and rewarding - this is...

You sure the water is getting to it? Think they have a safety feature to shut them off if no water pressure

Generator it is.

Worrying? Yes i will get an electrician, it is a charity event i have been asked to look at POwer. When i find an electrician that offers his service for free to support the charity i will. At this point i am asking for advice on the cable not how i connect it. I assume the consumer unit is...

I have a soak away taking rear roofs of property and extension. After talking with the Water board they have said i could run direct to the main sewer. My question is, i could do this in two ways. 1) dig down and find the pipes then divert to a manhole approx 2 metres away. 2) easier option...

LOL that is going through my mind at the moment :lol:

Sorry to hijack. but would this be a better solution for me, using ogee and a hopper? http://www.diynot.com/forums/roofing-guttering/gutter.321208/

On one of my gutters i appear to be getting too much water from a large roof ( neighbours gutter points in my direction) so two roofs! If i change it to 150mm gutter,or 170mm ( i have seen) does this basically just use 110mm size under ground pipes to get to ground socket? I need to get the...

thanks

Is this radiator http://www.screwfix.com/p/flomasta-type-11-single-panel-single-convector-radiator-white-500-x-400mm/56912 Standard with flow return connections at bottom on either side. Look from the picture as if both are on one side, top and bottom?
