which is why i didnt want to get into a Part P discussion. What difference is there in running an extension lead to a lawnmower than running a cable from an indoor power supply under a garden slab and to a water feature which will then be removed if i ever sold up. I used to post a lot in...

At any one time an electric lawnmower and a standard sized bubbling water feature will be on so not much power i would guess. And as for Part P- I do not want to get in to any life threatening discussions, compliancy and regulations. In my view its no different than having an extension cable...

Ok, Had a boiler replacement last year and the electrician made the bolier fuse switch into a plug socket. Next year I will be installing a water feature in the garden and would like to use this power source as the main feed. I removed the socket and found 1 feed coming in and 1 going out...

Thanks for that, i wasnt gonna risk anything by touching it, tiling removal stopped when i saw it. House is 15 yr old and we are the 2nd people in, only work we have done is to upgrade the boiler. As a stroke of luck I found a photo with the utility in the background and in the picture it shows...

Hi, All i did was to cut out a few deep notches for the legs to sit in, think it was about 2 or 3" into the wood creating a seat for the leg to sit into. albeit tightly. Then whacked a load of waterproof wood glue into the join and glued into a tight fit, to ensure the legs stayed tight i put a...

Hi, Wow long time since i put these in and they are still going strong. Basically i coloured and sealed them in the garage then fixed them to the ground as you would a fence post. I dug a hole 2ft down and abou 6" bigger than the width of the leg. As the leg was smooth i knocked a dfew 6"...

Hi All, Im thinking of putting an external socket on my conservatory wall, fed from the double socket inside the conservatory. Question is, Without having to chisel out a new hole in the wall for the SFU is there a product that reduces the in situ double socket down to a single socket with...

All sorted now and it's still up and looking smart. Just added a little bit of clear silicon around the wall mounts to ensure no water gets behind .... Yataaaaa It's a success. Thanks again y'all

Hi All, I had a shower installed last year and hummed and harred at fitting a shelf inside the cubicle. Now after numerous near misses with dropping shavers and bottles etc i think it's time i put a shelf up. Some history on the cubicle is that is framed with stud walls, plasterboard and then...
