Hi seen a couple of posts covering this already but no deffinitive (if there is such a thing) answer Ive got a couple of kitchen refurbs coming up and wondered if you think it is ok to get one of the cheaper jigs that are being sold on ebay or to spend the extra money on a decent one(ie...

OIC ok i will have a look at the unit and see what wires i have. I guess that i can just swap the old analogue for a digital type if the wires in the back are all the same?

thanks will do

do you think i should get a 2nd opinion before inserting that size rsj incase it needs something more substantial? Is there a way of checking his status as an engineer?

The block is 4 stories and mine is the 1st floor the floors are concrete
