Stick with us GeorgeP. Not being an easy way to access your pictures will pee off the quick thread scanners, it is a lot easier though! But in a weird way, the folks who have been there and done that will try to get to your pictures and help you out.

I agree with harbourwoodwork. I'd go for two screws and plugs in the wall (plugs dependant on wall type). I'd then attach a chord, like a picture, to the back of the frames. Finally I'd get some accoustifeet** and attach one to each corner to hold the panel off the wall. **That's a trade...

BAS is better with his long write ups as to why you shouldn't be doing what you intend. His one liners are crap!

Saved me swivelling around on me chair! :D

I'm prepared to be corrected, but I'm with you EFLI. Only associated cables.

Methinks I may rename myself Kable Plumbers. Would get more electrical work that way!!

If your sparky is up to the mark he'll bang in an earth rod, take a reading, and if needed use a joint and knock the second one down. Maybe it was the way I was taught but always TT'd an obviously separate garage or shed.

Please tell me this an early All Fools Day trick?

I don't like the "dog legs" bends where the cables go across the wall then up or down. They should be in a straight vertical / horizontal run to the socket / switchplate.

I'll try again later for pics. Took some with my phone yesterday and tbh, They'd have been clearer if I'd stuck my finger over the lens!

Need to get a kitchen drawer out of an antique carcass. The drawer itself, except the front is a one piece moulded tray. It has two metal runners, the one attached to the drawer has like a moulded rivet to keep it attached with a little plastic clip on the end that seems to serve no purpose than...

Had to get me abacus out to double check that!

Recycling is nothing new! Over 40 years ago my old man used a record player motor to power a fan blade under his inglenook open fire to get it going. 'Twas too big for the newspaper sheet trick. He also told me ( aged 8 ) that it was the reason the coal or logs sometimes "whistled". Took me...

If you need two switches to control two lights you need a two gang switch. If you need two switches that may also control the lamps from another switch, then you need a two way, two gang switch. They haven't disappeared. Its just your Google search terms are, how can I put it without being...

If you paid someone to replace the switch get them back. Tell them what you are worried about. It should be safe. Most likely the very thin lead feeding one side of the lamp got damaged whilst trying to bend the brute of a 10mm (6mm) cable into position. And the wee neons (?). in my own...

Thats a penile extension equivalent of a genital wart!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Agree with viewer. You need some new smoke. :D :D :D

Your voltage has a tolerance. It should be 230V +10%/-6%. That is 253V down to 216V. Although you are more likely to be running around 240V. Voltage sensitive equipment is more likely to be damaged with an over current. Having said that, I'm not sure if a low voltage would damage anything...

I wish people wouldn't install cu's in the vertical position. If nothing else the electrickery can fall out!! :wink:
