Hi, wondering if anyone has any tips/advice on this :cool: I am planning on renovating my bathroom/wetroom. And want to use river rock pebbles, I already got the pebbles they are thin as slate, 2-3sq cm. Only plan to put them on one wall which is approx 2.4m high by 2m wide... May break up the...

Excuse my lack of knowledge here! Please clarify, I need a new post because: 0) it does not matter that the post will be joined, but rather; 1) existing post is presumably not deep enough in the ground 2) there was not enough cement poured in the hole Fence was erected in 1996 and to...

Thanks for your help big-all I see what you mean, it makes sense. About the featherboards, have you ever seen half and half featherboards laid vertically (bottom half) and horizontally (top half). Personally I can imagine it would look quite good. as 90% of existing ones are in pretty...

Hi there, just seeking advice! Feather-edge fence is currently 4-5 feet high. Looking to higher the fence to about 6 feet (neighbour's permission granted). I'll be purchasing new feather-edge boards (6 ft), but trying to cut down on costs... So looking to extend the current posts rather...

How come you mention part P all the time and then now recommend to replace light unit in a bathroom.... :idea:

Oh yeah... :oops: I have a few metal switches (only two in the house) and I know these have earth terminals, Is it bad practice to split earth conductors when using metal switches? or should you be adding your own earth (sleeved) from switch to original earth in metal back box - I...

Hi folks, just a question, I have been replacing a few sockets and switches in my house and I noticed that the earth is connected to the metal back boxes on switches, but on sockets the earth is connected to the socket, with the earth terminal on back box empty Just want to know why cheers

Take it into your local Johnstones paint, I was shocked on how much wallpaper they stock and the binder's full of samples was colossal. Although I believe certain branches only specialise in wallpaper, so travel round!

The Live conductor is in the earth terminal

do screws normally rust in the boxes?

And this ? City & Guilds 2357 - Option 3 - The Complete Qualification Course Fees are £7495 (inc vat) Plus site visits @ £250 per site visit Boss been wanting me to do a course :lol:

Just for the future, If I somehow managed to get certificate in 17th Edition (2382-12) - I know its a open book exam that anyone can take... Would this alone allow me carry out what I suggested and get someone else qualified to test what I did? Cheers

Qualified Electrician - Not the shutter door plonker :) I was putting my diy urge before sense, won't be costing me a penny so and I don't want the risk. Thanks!

I'll give em a ring in the morning :P Thanks for the thread, it's been interesting, cheers

Thanks for the help Steve, Have been thinking about the "wall mountable portable heaters fitted with flex/plug" to get around the wiring regs, however I don't really want to do it this way. We got a unused double socket on a ring main - If I were to replace the socket with a FCU and wire...

What is "competent" - in the context of what recognised quals would able me to carry out what I proposed in the beginning. But It's not making sense, obviously I have no electrical certification as stated in the beginning of this thread, but your wording illustrates to me that if I were...

Explain your thoughts on why post this message please, I don't get it, The whole point on my postings here is to ensure that I do not break any laws in the workplace.

Back to the shutter, I have a strong feeling it was fitted by the council who actually own the building.... :lol:

But I can purchase (from a reputual source) a heater that is advertised as a "Portable Heater" suitable for industrial. It has a couple of metres of heat-resistant flex and a shiny plug, the company state it is also wall mountable. [/b]
