Yes, I think you're right..didn't feel that comfortable not having it plumb.

Good thinking about windows and doors, hadn't even thought about that. I think I will probably try to level it out with timber as it will be cladded down to the brick anyway. Facia will cover the wonky bits.. yes all good on the planning side of things.. Thanks!

Hi, I'm building a workshop at the top of the garden..it's 6x3.5m. the slab has been poured but due to a mess up on my part it has a 0.5⁰ slope from the back to the front, putting the front around 50mm lower than the back. It will be a timber framed workshop on a single course of bricks (which...

Thanks Kingandy2nd! Well I was just going to lay it on the soil. It is quite hard. But I think I will use Mot 1 now after reading a bit more. Better not to take the risk in the long run and I'm guessing it will help with drainage. Thanks

Unfortunately it's unwired at the moment for the night. I thought it would be 6 but the manual said 2.5. I'm attaching a picture. Sorry, I meant to write that when I disconnected the earth..ie live and neutral still connected, the cooker turned on when I made the switch.

Hi, We have a new cooker. Upon wiring it in the the RCD trips rated at 80A but the MCB doesn't rated at 40A. The cooker draws 8.5kW. it trips as soon as the double pole switch is made. The manual says use 2.5mm² which I am but my maths it should be bigger. Anyway, I feel like it is a fault with...
