    Outdoor socket - daisy chain to shed - ok to do?

    Previously I had a kit. RCD inside to outdoor socket then armoured cable out the bottom of this to shed to another outdoor socket. Not the best quality and the shed one I replaced years ago with a better one. The first one in the chain needs doing now. Will there be anything special about this...

    Used 12mm bolts but hole in TV bracked is only 10mm!!!

    Trouble is it fell off the wall once, then I tried those gripit fittings. Load of crap..... Just pulled out the plasterboard. Yeh 12mm probably overkill but I wanted to make sure this time. Drilled into the brick etc. The bolts are in pretty solid now. Trouble is the holes are there, bolts are...

    Used 12mm bolts but hole in TV bracked is only 10mm!!!

    Yes should have measured first. Bad mistake.... What are my chances of success trying to make hole in the metal bigger? Step drill bit or reamer? Or give up, fill in the hole I've made and try again with smaller bolts?

    Leak from bathroom into kitchen - sockets causing trip now

    OK let me count... 2 sockets in utility room for washing machine and tumble dryer. 2 sockets by kettle. 1 socket for fridge freezer. 2 sockets for microwave. All of these currently not working because they must be using the circuit marked sockets (kitchen). When I try to switch this back on it...

    Leak from bathroom into kitchen - sockets causing trip now

    Can't see it ran down a wall to be honest..... I'll check again.... A few years ago the kitchen was knocked through into the dining room. It looks like the sockets that were originally in the dining room are ok and working. Just the ones in the old part of the kitchen. Saying that we did have...

    Leak from bathroom into kitchen - sockets causing trip now

    Switch on RCD for sockets (kitchen) but it doesn't look like all sockets for some reason. Had water leaking through ceiling. Not that bad - a few drips and stained sealing - could be worse. Got home emergency cover but they said they wont send an electrician for 48 hours until it dries. Can...

    Fixing to cinderblock walls

    Want to put an ikea cupboard (small one) onto conservatory wall. I bought the grip-fit things and I've also got the plastic toggles. BUT it looks like the plasterboard has been laid directly on top of the cinderblock. No gap at all. So can't use spring toggle type fixing. The cinderblock is...
