    replaced light switch - 2 way switch develops intermittent issue after a week

    Just to update in case it helps anyone, when I made this thread I got behind to take pictures and triple check wiring, while I did that I tightened absolutely everything again. Issue has not come back in 2 months, must've just been a loose wire or as Conny had said might have been insulation...

    replaced light switch - 2 way switch develops intermittent issue after a week

    As someone who doesn't really know what they're doing most of the time I make a habit of taking photos of everything :LOL: Starting to doubt myself, but if I had mixed up the reds and yellows from other switches would the other switches work as expected? we've not seen any issues with the other...

    temporary parking on the front lawn

    Hi, so I'm picking up a new car today and going to have 3 cars at my house temporarily until I can get my old car sold.

    New basin waste but not enough thread for the trap?

    Thanks @kidgreen61 didn't think of that, although I'd be worried it wouldn't hold as tight? yeah theres 2 nuts, one to fix the waste to the basin / hold the cone shaped seal in, and another to attach the trap. @HERTSDRAINAGE2010 first attempt was with just the basin mait and supplied washers...
