Depends on the alarm. Have you tried an internet search for it? Mine i can enter an engineers code which semi-deactivates it while you open the front cover, or turn the power off etc. An alarm shouldnt go off though just coz the power has been lost...that would make it rather annoying...

What if someone on here gives you advice, and you say 'oh i dont have the knowledge to do your method, ill do it my own way'.

One problem i have come across though, is what to do with the ceiling. Its corrugated asbestos. I was originally planning to fit plasterboard underneath it, but it would reduce the ceiling height by a few inches, as there is metal supports running under the roof. I'm now considering just...

Well, its taken a long time of weekends/evenings, but ive got 2 walls nearly finished! Ill post a couple of pictures up soon as i upload them. I vertically batterned the walls, then ran armoured cable to metal boxes for the socket outlets. From these boxes ill be running flex to drywall...

Yeah its the 2000 model. Doing the email thing now, cheers RE the outside lamp though, its been there for a few years, so it cant be a N-E fault, or it would have kept tripping the RCD since it was installed. I figured it might be water getting into the lamp, but didnt think about the fact...

Its a mem board, so mem 100A 30mA RCD. upstairs and downstairs ring, plus the outside light, plus the electri shower run throguh the RCD. I went through all your bits, but to no avail. The kitchen is on its own seperate circuit, not on the RCD side. I told her its most likely to be the...

Done all the above. All appliances are always unplugged when not in use. Should have mentioned that the boiler had been serviced in my original post though. I am a sparky, but my domestic knowledge is limited, hence the fact i didnt mind having a look for the problem if it was something...

Cheers for the feedback. Yeah ive been through everything. Ok, more detail - pretty dull! She had her boiler serviced, and most bits in it replaced. Apparently the PCB is more powerful, so this is probably whats causing the problem. I figured i could find what else is causing problems in...

Hey all. Right, went round a mums friends house the other day because her RCD keeps tripping 2 to 3 times a day. So i figured i would go and have a look, see if theres an obvious solution, which there wasnt. My next advice to her was going to be to get an approved electrician to fit a new...

Sorry for the slow repsonse - no internet at my new house! Cheers for the reply, bought a programable one today

Hey all. The timer bit on my heater isnt working (the bit that turns and tells the heating when to turn on and off). I can manually turn it, and it still turns on and off as i turn the dial, but its no longer moving by itself. Is it possible to change it for one of the newer ones? I would...

mmm beer jet!

Cheers John, wasnt aware they did that, should save a lot of effort!

Hello all. Just moved into my new house, and im looking to convert my garage to make it more habitable, so i can use it as a gym (my use only). At the moment its bare concrete walls, and corrugated asbestos ceiling. I was planning on using a filler of some sort to fill all the gaps in the...

boom boom :lol:

Of course, i'd be sitting at home looking after the kids, cleaning the house, and getting the evening dinner prepared whilst doing the daily crossword

Ditto, but minus the bottom cleavage!

I wish i was a girl, id sit infront of a mirror all day :lol:

Bit like my bedroom. Mum thinks its a tip, but i know exactly where everything is lol.

When i see vans on site that are spotless inside and out they just remind me of the suits that walk round site in their brand new high vis jackets, brand new toe tectors, brand new gloves, and brand new hard hats. Just for show. Just my opinion, but i prefer to see a bit of organised mess!
