Morning all, Its a fairly straight forward question which im pretty sure I know the answer to but id like to check first before I pay and get someone in. I have a single socket in the kitchen which I am going to change to a double. From this i'd like to add a spur which will go outside to a...

Oh thats great cheers Iggifert I didnt realise I could do that! Thats what i'll do then!. Yeah your right, the new sockets from socket 1 will primarily have just iphone chargers, the electrics for reclining sofa, table light, nothing power hungry so im sure that will be fine! A massive thanks...

This bit sounds promising! So I add a fused spur to socket 1. Then connect that to proposed socket 5 and again to proposed socket 7? I didnt think I could do that so i bet im confused again shock!

Ha sorry, ive done the diagram lol Here is is, our living room with the sockets. Its all plasterboard barratt house style and im literally looking for the easiest way of adding those sockets. 2 of which will be the new USB charging sockets for obvious reasons. Your right, there not heavily used...

Thanks mate, Over thinking is probably right, and ofcourse the limited knowledge. What you have shown is clearly what I should do, i went that route before I even picked up my laptop to post. I can do what you suggest with the top circle but I figured spurring that one off (socket 2) would be...

I will say the drawing is supposed to show 2 blues and 2 browns which I thought would add the socket to the ring (in an ass about face way) and the second diagram which you are particularly concerned about.....dont be, i know enough not to add a spur to a spur. I just spurred it off the new...

Here we go, a new revised ring (or not lol) If theres a way I can identify the brown and blue wires behind Socket 1 I would do that...any other options will be greatly received! :)

Hi all, Sorry ive just gotten round to checking this again....as yet I still havent touched anything but will be tomorrow, hopefully lol. Yeah your totally right ban-all-sheds, im far from a sparky but i really dont think this is above my capabilities...........time will tell though lol Yeah...

Thats great thanks for your help mate! Lets see how I do lol

Hi mate, changing the single to a double is on my list but I just didnt want to include it here to complicate things further lol Ive now just been out and bought most of the things I need but ive just remembered why I wanted to add Socket 5 to the ring main. At the moment as the pic there is...

Hi mate, thanks for your reply. I can crack on with it now, spurs it is! I always over complicate things and definitely lack common sense, hence why I have to ask on here all of the time lol Thanks again

Actually looking at it properly now its drawn out, I guess I should put the extra sockets in prior to the actual sockets that are there now (i'll do a pic to show what i mean). The only trouble is I dont know which brown and blue wire goes to the living room sockets and which comes from the...

Hi all, we've way too many extension leads charging and running our ever increasing electronic items so today is the day im adding a couple of new sockets. I just have a couple of questions if anyone could answer - Looking at the pic included, this is the downstairs (living room) ring...

Hi mate, thanks for the reply. All i used before was a plain Dulux Satinwood. If i remember right it didnt say anything on the tin but im assuming it was the water based one because this new one is just the same as gloss. It looks even worse this morning dried so its sand down and start...

After doing some searches, is the satinwood now oil based which is why its gone on like gloss?

Hiya all, Im bringing this post back from a couple of years ago in the hope someone can help me with my latest paint job lol After painting the bannisters etc using dulux satinwood and them still looking fantastic a couple of years later i thought I would buy some more for the living room...

Edit - hmmm might be working lol sorry

Evening all, A couple of weeks ago our room thermostat stopped working. Long story short I bought an exact replacement, a Siemens RAA20. I wired it up and off it went working fantastic. Its only been on a week but its stopped working already grr?! We live in a 3 storey house with a barely...

Ahhhh, well thats the one I ran for a while before and although it had half the pressure, it didnt run dry as such. I guess the incident maybe got worse so theyve shut the water off completely now!
