Thanks Robbie. Paste was correct thickness and edges had plenty. Been papering myself for 20+ years and never had this happen. Will look for a stronger adhesive when I redo and just test on one wall. Going to wash the wall down with sugar soap spay, give it a good rub with sand paper and coat...

I papered my kitchen this weekend, and did a sterling job, or so I thought. 24 hours after finishing, the odd seem started to show; its very dark paper over a light pained wall, so it's quite obvious. Now 48 hours on, many more seems are showing and the paper is lifting quite badly. If I pull...

[/url] I will definitely be doing this. Thanks for the link.

I rearranged the conductors and removed several others to make a proper much simpler ring as in option 1. I really don't know what I was thinking of with option 2, I even revisited the sockets I thought had originally been put in in this way but I was mistaken - they were all wired correctly...

I will be re-doing it properly. Its on a new build and we haven't boarded it out yet so re-routing the conductors wont be to arduous.

Yes, your drawing illustrates option 2 more clearly.

Yes, each line is a 2.5mm twin and earth.

I preferred option 2 because this is how I have installed it (just not connected up yet). I have seen this layout elsewhere in my house, which was professionally rewired just after the part-p scheme came out. It was only when I stepped back and thought about it that it seemed wrong. I suppose...

I have extended my property with a new porch/utility room. I intend on extending my kitchens ring main and adding 4 new double sockets to the new room. The washer and dryer will be running from the new outlets. Option 1 below is the desired arrangement, but my question is specifically about...

I have knocked through an internal brick wall and installed a lintel an door lining and filled in the gaps around the edge with mortar. I have made a mistake though and fitted a 105mm deep lining (which is flush to the bricks) and not accounted for the depth of the plaster. My question is do I...

I have purchased a static caravan. I would like to add a coin operated electric meter to it. Are there any regulations, Part P etc. that would prevent me from doing this myself? Thanks Craig

That burn mark on the third wire isn't actually burn mark. It's where some of the melted plastic has come off and is casting a shadow from the camera flash. You will see pics 1 and 2 do not show this apparent burn. I have emailed Triton about all of this and they are sending out an...

johnnojob - I fail to see the point you are trying to make. I posted on this forum for advice and help, which 99.9% of the time is fantastic. You don't appear to be offering any positive contribution. For your info, I fitted this unit (initially from new then again at a later date) as per...

Thanks johnnojob - really helpful.

Think you are right DP. I have been looking at other forums that all mention poor connections. I just checked the terminal closest to the melted wires and it is a bit loose. I'm guessing that this would have been a gradual process, each time it got hot it would have loosened a bit more each time?

I awoke this morning to a familiar burning smell. It was originating from the bathroom, specifically the shower. Which my son was using at the time. I isolated it immediately at the pull cord string then at the fusebox. The surface of the plastic shower housing was extremely hot. I removed...
