Hi, I'd like to build some garden planters and i don't know where to start. Should i use decking boards or exterior plywood cut to size. I guess I would have to build a frame first in order to use decking boards. I could do with some brief instructions on how to build one. I have a...

Finally the mask has come off. I still think that Ferrari were robbed of last year's championship. But I thought Ferrari were the only ones that cheated...... Seriously, is this the end of Hamliton? Funny to see how Anthony Hamilton is nowhere to be seen.

hi there, do you know who the contractors for NPower are for metering installs upgrade changes?

in simple terms you need to kick a...s with the supplier and DNO. They can't leave you without power without good reason. Ask for a supervisor, if that does not work write a letter, read the electricity supply act to know your rights and their obligation and quote this to them. Too many...

What happens during a routine meter change if there is no isolator? Do the REC/Supplier pull the tails out of the meter, replace the meter and then tell customer to call a spark to wire the tails in the new meter? I can't believe the REC/Suppl would not stick the tails back in.
