That's what I didn't really want to hear but thanks for replying.

Hi, got a wooden deck which is looking tattier and tattier and we want to get rid of it. It's surrounded by trellis fence panels which are supported by fence posts. I'd like to keep the shape of the space the deck makes i.e. keep the trellis and posts but just get rid of the wooden deck...

Brilliant. Thanks guys!

Hi, I'm filling in my garden pond this year - it's roughly 1,000 gallon capacity and not a uniform depth - I just want to convert it back to lawn. Can anyone help me calculate how many of the wickes jumbo bags of aggregate I'd need to order. And how much topsoil to order too? Thanks.

Cheers, given what I've said about the set-up i.e. no RCD anywhere, is it safe? I reckon I'll need to get a qualified leccy in then, eh?

Cheers for the advice guys, so where exactly should I have the RCD? In case you haven't guessed, I have no electrical experience/knowledge at all :D

Hi, Got an aroured power cable running out of the house, under some paving then under a deck and into a socket. The socket feeds two 'outdoor' switches, one of which powers a pond pump ... question is, I thik - should I put an RCD on the power cable coming out of the house? And...

Hi Dan, not as far as I know. can you elaborate a little? what's an FCU? Also I have no idea as to how deep the hi-tuff cable is buried under the lawn but the lawn itself only seems to be around 8 inches or so deep. is that problematic? cheers, Mark.

Hi, I've recently been looking around my loft (had too much time on my hands over xmas) and can see some large steel? rectangular ducts runing oaround the loft space. the house I'm in had hot air central heating when built which has been replaced by the more traditional hot water thingy...

Hey Dan, thanks for replying and explining in a way I can (mostly :oops: ) understand. the armoured cable is a thick rubbery/plasticy affair, not metal or anything like that... cheers

anyone got any comments? cheers.

got some pics ... first, inside the house - it looks like it domes off a normal socket (that's got a phone charger plugged in to it) second, armoured cable coming out of thehouse and under some paving (and lawn and decking) third, blurry and difficult to see but it's the grey...

thank you

i'm sure i'm being particularly thick here but ... i can't find part p in the wiki :oops:

thanks for the responses ... I'll try to get some pics tomorrow but the circular connector thingy is quite difficult to see ... the switch/socket stuff and the feed from the house are easy to get pics of though ... btw, what does notifiable mean?

As far as I can see there is no RCD anywhere. Do I need to fit one between the house and the circular grey boxy thingy under my deck?? what if the unarmoured cable is not of the forst proof variety?? cheers.

Hope this is the right forum for this ... I've 'inherited' the following electrical set-up for a garden pond pump and filter. I know, instinctively that it's wrong but can anyone tell me how wrong it is and what would need to be done to make it safe? ok, here goes ... Armoured...

Ok tried that ... now please excuse my utter ignorance but ... I undid the nut a little and began turning the spindle anti-clockwise ... and, because I wasn't clear on how much to turn the spindle, I decided to take off the brass nut completely and continued happily turning the spindle for...

Thanks Bahco. I'll try that!

Guys, I'm planning an attempt to balance my combi ch system and have two basic questions which will give you some idea of my level of ignorance!: 1. when I take the plastic cover of the LSV, I can see a spindle-type thing poking up ... is it that spindle I should be turning or is it the...
