    Which way round to lay felt roof on my garden shed

    Update: The light grey side is rough so I will lay with it facing upwards. Also, 1 day after building shed, there are literally hundreds of tiny flies crawling all over the wood. Any idea what they are, and will they eat the wood? Thanks

    Equipotential bonding and Elecsa certificate

    UPDATE - Elecsa have no record of this person so looks like he got hold of the certificates from somewhere and issued them illegally. Only found all this out cos we're selling the house, so we're living in a death tap for the last 9 years and it will all be made safe for the new owners.

    2 lights wired up to 1 switch - certificate?

    In 2012 I had the wall between my loo and bathroom knocked down and the 2 rooms became 1. The 2 lights are now wired to the same switch.
