I would also like to see an 'ecological building' section. For the discussion of both new eco builds, and retrospective work to reduce the environmental impact of a house. Daniel

There is, you just have to click on the thumbnail, not the file name.

Ah yes, very good.

Is there not a way to get an image direct from you HDD, into the middle of a post along with the test?

I am vary torn, on one level I fully support the view that if you don't know what you are doing you shouldn't be messing with electrics, that's its hard to get enough information from scratch from a forum over the internet, and that its hard to get a picture for someones ability going the other...

The old forum was starting to look very dated, which might well have put me off as new member, although there does appear to be quite a lot more 'dead space' on the new format. Daniel

What's wrong with that!

As soon as you start adding heaters, the cable demand goes up a lot, and certainly you will need to work out how much power you will need, which along with the length of run and where its run, will determine the cable size and type required. My understand is that if both ends are inside, it...

The other option if there are several radials into one breaker, is to split them, so you have 2x20amp breakers rather than one 32amp. Hard to say without seeing what you have. Daniel

Old thread. However am I right in saying H07RN-F is the black rubber cable suitable for live music events? Further more, I presume is 'arctic' (H07RN-V3?) cable is deemed suitable for caravans, that it is also suitable to use to feed narrowboats? On a temporary basis? When semi-permanently...

Indeed, personally, I think its crap that they do not have a hard switch to isolate them. I will be the first to admit that I leave my phone charger plugged in and turn on 24/7 while in the house. However, it gets isolated if I am away for the week, and similarly the charger I keep in the...

This. Also make sure you have the kit to go with, and training if you have not used one before. Chains saw trousers are buttons compared to the cost of a new leg.... Daniel

Have a look at : http://www.pavingexpert.com/drain08.html#invest As said, there has been a big clamp down on allowing driveways to run off into the road, and rightly so, if I am honest. Daniel

Obviously the swing in the photo works, and I see no reason why you couldnt re-create it yourself. 6*6 timber would be strong/stiff enough for the job I am sure, at which point the key will be the joint between vertical and horizontal, and the vertical to the ground. A fencing place will be...

I'm 27 and moved out 10 years ago, but in my time the number of power cuts at my parents dropped hugely. Winter when I was a kid required a torch, candle and matches in all the major rooms and for a about 2-3months of the year it wasn't really practical to keep the microwave clock telling the...

Two consumer units and a change over switch (rather than a flying plug/socket, ideally....) would be the neat way to do it. But as said, as long as there not chance of the 'boiler' back feeding power onto the pins, and or some wired interlinking between the boiler and the controls, it should...

See for me (also as a design engineer) its the other way round. Everything I can have off the shelf I will have of the shelf, I am very prepared to spend money and make compromises if it saves my time and allows failed parts to be swapped out with ease. Life is too short. For lights, I...
