We have a winner. The hours lost due to a 2cm piece of bridging wire that I forgot about ‍♂️‍♂️‍♂️

Zero for all of those

I have put things back as they were and still no power. Changed bulbs, bulb being used works in other light fittings so didn't blow.

Traced the wire from one switch to the other but the wire that feeds power to them disappears in to a wall I can't access. I would be surprised if there was a junction box hidden between that point and the fuse box.

Can't find the source. I am pulling up floorboards to try and trace it but not found it yet.

Hi Everyone We are currently renovating an old cottage and I have come across a pipe that partially sticks out of the wall. I am confident working with water pipes and was hoping to cut it back and cap it off before we plaster and put the skirting boards on. However it has occurred to me that it...

Thanks Metal appears to be part of the old fire place but cut the piece away using and an ane grinder then the hearth just lifted out. Much quicker job than first thought.

Hi We have pulled up an old carpet with the plan to restore the old floorboards. However, we discovered a concrete hearth (approx 2 inch thick). It is already cracked and it moves when a crowbar is placed under it. We would like to remove and cover the space with floorboards. However, there is a...
