I installed an intermediate switch into a two-way switched light thinking that I could turn the light on and off using all three switches. This isn't the case. When used alone the switch acts as a one-way switch. When it's off the two two-way switches work as normal but when it's on it keeps the...

I am going to rewire my house (well my mums) and want to put a downstairs ring main in. The trouble is that the front room has floorboards which is fine but the next room has a concrete floor. I want a socket (only one) in this room. 1.) Would it be a better idea to have this socket as a spur...
