Right this instant! :lol: That is actually really good advice. Nobody likes paying for a fail! Used to hate calling contractors to tell them that their meter in for calibration was dead but that will be £35 carriage please! Funny how that invoice always got disputed!

Its the only real way to go from flush to surface, but I appreciate the gratitude!

Tinning/soldering strands is ok for audio/lv connections, but I would have thought that ferrules or pin crimps were better. Also, like you say, the connections that feature a clamping system, usually even found on MCBs or at least main switches/incomers, are far better for security of the...

Where the heating control panel was. Probably where the boiler/hot air generator was!

I though most DNOs went for 3m?!?!?!

You could have it removed completely, but its kinda dark in the winter! Surely you can dictate to some extent where they attach things to your house! Or maybe even get them to pay for a structural steel plate to be buried in your fascia?!?!?! Amazing how much solemnity is added to a sad...

I know that you have to obey manufacturer's instructions to comply with regs essentially, but why are they all sticking this FCU malarkey in their destructions? You dont have to run LV downlighters off a spur! Technically, if you can get a neutral to the fittings off the same circuit as the...

VOIP is a whole different ball game. Let us know what router you have and this should be easy. Homehub allows you to have any line ring any phone, and yes to dial out on VOIP phone via normal landline, you just press 5. If your router doesn't do this, there are plenty of adaptors for VOIP...

These sorts of things tend to have an input for external (usuallly momentary push) switches. so you have several of these wired in parallel, so that any switch you press causes a momentary pulse on that circuit, telling the dimmer panel to do whatever it is supposed to do for that scene or circuit.

Clever Cleverer still. Non-standard earth pin socket will prevent use for outside equipment too! To be fair, a UPS might iron out the leaks anyway!

Flex outlet or cooker outlet plate. Both have breakouts, usually on the bottom, but if you are going up to the loft, then you could mount it upside down. The cable grip is the important part, stops the cable being yanked out of the plate.

You need to get your dodgy sparks back in to either rectify or give you some money. SY Cable not allowed outdoors! http://www.eland.co.uk/cables/control_flexible_cable/sy_control_cable.html Braid not earthed, needs to be glanded in a similar fashion to SWA...

Isnt the picture of "Robert Patrick's" T-1000, hence american?

I am on the lookout for (if any of you happen to see one going begging) a SOX bulkhead of some description. Yes I know they are horrible and orange, but I don't care. I hate PIRs, live in the middle of nowhere, and would like it on all night on a p/cell so it has to be as efficient as possible...

Cheeky! I like that! Hell. why not make them wireless with a maplin kit or some such! :lol:

Not that anyone is advocating this, but the circuit would obviously have to be fused down suitably at the spur. No one is suggesting running one double socket off a 40a (hopefully bigger for a 10.5kw) shower circuit! I'm hypothesising here, not suggesting. Almost hijacking the thread to ask...

Is that wrong though? They must be rated for a reason!!!!!

Did not know that! Always sold 60A and 100A meters for that reason i thought

wasnt German though, was he? :?:

Like a Refuse Technician? They don't need any qualifications, they just pick it up as they go along!!!!!!! Thank you and goodnight. I'm here all week!
