I would like to build a sunroom. I would like it to be traditionally timber framed. I cannot afford the 12k + it would cost for a pro company to do the frame only. This means my only choice is DIY or change construction style. I have not decided yet whether to go for it or not and I don't...

Just looking through some old posts and it mentioned that if a 2.5mm t&e ring on a 32a mcb is broken its not good. To quote BAS 'not acceptable'. Now, I understand a broken ring becomes two radials, so we have two ciruits served by one mcb, but the post says the 32a mcb is too large. Is...

Thanks Steve, but only room for double above surface. So is Cremeegg correct, if my spur is protected by a 13A FCU I can indeed have a double skt above and single (or even) double below for appliances? If so would I wire them on seperate cables from the FCU (parallel?) or what would...

Hi there and thanks for the reply. I think you have answered my query but to clarify. There is no existing spur. I would create one/two to supply a socket above a worksurface and a w/machine below (I figure a switched fcu above w/s to 1g socket below). From what you're saying I could take a...

I would like to add a socket (only single needed) and a washing machine point in our untilty room. I am aware I can take a single spur from a socket on the main ring to supply a single, double or triple socket or FCU for a subcercuit for eg a washing machine. I am also aware I cannot spur...

Hi there, after choosing kitchen taps together and installing them, my dear missus says she wants to have taps with an adjustable toggle type thing so you can direct the stream. I notice our taps (shown in link) have somekind of insert screwed into it. Does anyone know wether you can by...

Far out! ( I Really should stop saying that, makes me sound like a beach bum, dude) Excellent work, and thanks for the tip. I'm not definately going to do it yet, I need to make all the drawings and decide on joints etc, then price up the wood. Where's abouts would you reccomend getting...

Hi there, I am seriously looking into building our sunroom with green oak. One thing (among millions) that I need to consider is the use of a chain mortiser. I've seen them new on ebay for 600 squid and have failed to locate any for hire around oxford. Ideally I would buy one second hand...

Thanks for sticking with me through this, I have a Brother Brother MFC-620CN USB Printer which on the website says is network ready and it does indeed have an LAN/ethernet port on it. Does this mean I can link it to it. (I don't think it works just by connecting the two with a cable)...
