yeah the cutoff is 6 meters from the meter!! The meter change company said it was a bit odd when they last came round. One thing I was thinking is if they change the location of anything surely it would be easier and safer to relocate the meter nearer to the main fuse? The safe zones...

The cable in question will be used for lighting the upstairs rooms so will be quite low load (6 lights), but im just thinking it would be better for futureproofing! Something else, the current CU is located in an outbuilding / shed which is attached to the back of the house. the mains supply...

thanks to ban-all-sheds for the book recomendations. I spoke nicely to my librarian who has got them all in. They all make sense but I have a few questions around "safe zones" for running cables and protection requirements for burried cables. Am I right in saying that all burried cables...

Thats what I was planning on doing, I have a mate who is a qualified plasterer so he will be able to do all the covering up. I was thinking of that, storage is pretty cheap and I live near a big yellow storage place. The wifes a teacher so I was planning on doing it in the holidays so...

said antique vulcan verona back boiler.... when trying to find pump today in order to bleed it to remove airlock in sys, pilot light went out and we cannot now get it to stay lit - when holding white button down it lights fine, but after leaving 30 sec and taking finger off button, it clicks...
