Hi, thanks, yes, I have a live, neutral and earth in the nearby switch to the existing lamp (incoming from hidden junction box), but how I could use this on the same circuit is somewhat beyond me I am afraid?!

[/url] Thanks for this. Yes, I could take the terminal point in the ceiling lamp, but if I attach a new cable there I would have to destroy the ceiling/wall when laying the cable to get power to the wall light..I'd rather not do this unless absolutely necessary. again thanks for looking at...

Hi there, I am doing some diy in our house and would very much like to add a hallway light to an existing ceiling lamp circuit. The existing ceiling lamp is on a 2-way switch system, by the way of using a junction box for incoming power. I believe I could just connect the hallway light next...

Hi there, I wanted to ask if it is possible (and ok practice) to use the electricity power from a standard socket through a 2-gang switch (live connected) and to 2 wires with wall lamps (2) and spotlights (4)? I presume lights and sockets should be on different circuits, but wanted to ask your...

Hah..being a farmer boy from Norway I thought I could diy a little and surely fix a little roof, but from your answers I can see there can be quite a little more to beams and joists! To answer the question of what style the missus prefers..well, she basically sees a few pictures of nice open...

Hey guys, no fighting, you are all great that take time to look at this! Really appreciated for this one / I think I was close to having a little disaster here.. I called over a struct.engineer that said an steel beam is definitely needed if I want to remove that wall under my little wood...

Hi there, i am in the process of removing 2 small walls from the corner of my little living room and i wanted to make sure that the roof and floor above does not collapse.. We have a standard edwardian house in london where a loft extension has been done above the living room, and new floor...

Hi there, Yes, I would like to remove all the studs in that wall up to, but also including that beam you marked in white..I was told that beam is redundant..but it seems to me that the joists (?) holding the roof is resting on it?! (is it normal when doing a roof conversion to connect the floor...

Hi there, I wanted to ask your advice for a small project I am doing internally to remove a wall and remnants of old beam in a living living room roof opening. This opening is 40 years old, and after this was done, 15 years ago now, a loft extension was made on the floor above. For the loft...

Hi guys, I would really appreciate some shingles help.. I have a traditional Edwardian London house where there is a leak above bay window on 1st floor. I digged in the angled attic above (roof conversion on 2nd floor with tiny space towards roof/wall). I found that the shingles-clad roof...

Hi there, I am diy'ing in a bedroom and wanted to see if I can figure out how to attach a lot of wires from wallamps & other dimmers etc..Currently the wall lights do not work. I guess I may have to call an electrician for this, but any help is greatly appreciated before i do! To explain: -...

Thanks for that, and no offense at all taken of course! (it just seemed natural that a little electricity from anywhere-i.e. socket - should flow good via my dimmer to another lamp..but clearly not..)
