Hi all, I'm going to be putting in a double socket to power a POE switch. I am looking to take a spur from a socket on the main circuit. My question is do you have to, first feed to a fused spur unit before the socket. The socket is going to be in a lockable box which will be labelled 'for...

Thanks all. im have a cat5 extender and powerline so will see if it works and report back. I have a feeling it won't...

Hi all I'm thinking of adding some picket pales to my current picket fence to make it a little more of a solid fence/wind block. I'm thinking of adding more posts in the ground and adding a big thick rail across the top and then attaching some glass fixing for the 1m x 1m glass panes and...

Yes the old couple had knocked it through before. When we moved in we extended the house for a new living room so we split the room into a dinning room (blue room) with office on the other side.

House was made in the 1940's. Thanks for all the advice everyone. Really helpful. At least when getting a quote I can tell them what needs to be done so I don't sound clueless....

That's another good idea. How do you tell if the roof is resting on it. Is that dependant on the direction of the joists or any tell tail signs I can look for. If I can work it out... then maybe just get a bricky to take it down...

Yeah. I'm thinking we could take the stud blue wall down and do it back up in block... putting in a new long lintel across... so we can remove that part of the wall sticking out in the hall.

Thats pretty awesome to hear! Thank you

Hi all Iv attached 3 pictures. Opposite our stairs is a jut out of wall in the hall.. the piece of wall continues from the dinning room. We want to remove it. But im guessing there is nowhere for an RSJ to rest both ends on (just 1 end). The wall inside the dinning room is a stud wall...

Thanks for all your help John. Much appreciated

One more thing... The junction box is plastic for the join between swa and t&e. So do I go from the gland banjo earth and join that to the T&E Earth? So this will mean: 1 earth from swa 1 earth from banjo Both link to T&E earth.

Just noticed my armoured sheath has a small slit in it.... can I just tape it?? No damage to the earth mental inside.... this section will be in conduit. Slightly annoying to find!

The way I am running this is - hot tub - swa to isolation switch - swa house up wall into to loft - split and join to T&E - run through the loft back outside and down the wall in conduit then back inside to a spare MCB 32amp space. Protected by am 80amp RCD. Hope that clears it up a little

Hi guys Just wired my 32amp hot tub up, got 3core 6mm swa running to a 32amp isolation switch then back to the house. My question is for ease can I split this to a twin and earth in the loft and run the twin and earth back to the distribution board? My plan is, I can use an armoured swa gland...

Hi all, Has anybody known of an issue where a HIKvision nvr will power off and restart randomly once or twice a day. I need to order another power pack and see if that fixes the issue... wasn't sure if it's a known issue. I'm running the latest firmware etc... Very bizarre... happens at...

Thank you. It wouldn't be worth it just to pull a cable, I will run the cable through floor instead but thank you. Its good to know for future.

Hi all Please see the attached picture. I need to access the cable and tack a new cable down this wall or across... Is it possible to do this without scaffolding? I only need to run a new cable... there are other options but if its possible to get access, this would be the easiest run. Can...

dont know anymore than honeywell G something

I'm going to nip round in the morning. They just stopped me and asked about my alarm and then asked if I could change their batteries, I said yeah of course no worries... and then realised it will probably set the alarm off every time I open a PIR.... Would be nice to get into engineer mode tbh...
