the house used to have storage heaters, they are long gone but the switches to switch them on and off, and the wiring back to the D/B remain. i am aiming to get most of the house running from batteries charged by a wind turbine, solar panels, and the cheap economy 7 electricity. there is only...

i found then all hilarious! funnily enough i was reading them whilst in the bath on my ipad (its okay, it was not plugged in and is probably below 12v) but i was laughing so hard that i dropped it into the actual water which gave me shock and and also killed it :cry: even though it is...

i think our house was built in the 20s. its on an EX council estate and we rarely have power cuts (usually only one every couple of years) but i remember once when there was a storm, every single streetlamp that i could see went out, then they came back on, then every house i could see went...

why can't i just call it a garage?

it would be impossible to get a caravan there unless we use a crane. but then we risk dropping it on the house and it would draw alot of attention. how do i go about getting planning permission?

we have spoken to all the neighbours and they are fine with it. because the floor of it is going to be sunk into the ground (not my idea, i am trying to convince my mum against it as it sounds like a recipe for flooding) the roof will only be a bit higher than the fence. is there not a...

we replaced the switches and it still happens (making me think mice could be the cause) i will try the different switch combinations tomorrow.

the strange thing is that it does not always do it :?

i don't remember what normal bulbs were like. i'll swap them out with normal ones when i find a shop that sells them. i would not be surprised if there was no earth in the lighting circuit at all. our house should probably be rewired but at the moment we can not afford it.

in our ground floor hallway the lights flash when the switch is OFF. we have replaced the switch and stuff and the only reason i can think of that it's doing this is that either: mice have chewed through the cable and its shorting slightly (we did have mice about 4 years ago) electrical...
