    ring circuit with lots of spurs...

    An old property that had a 'rewire' about 6 years ago. It's had a PIR from an I've just traced a circuit at a property, the ring starts upstairs one socket in each bedroom, a spur drops from bedroom 1 to the living room, another spur drops from bedroom 2 to the living room and the ring...

    Removing Office 2007

    A clean reinstall of Office? What is it you are trying to achieve exactly? When you've unistalled office, it's wise to delete all folders relevant to the previous install. ie: delete this path C:\Program files\microsoft office, 'cos it will probably still exist after the 'uninstall' process...

    Is your 'Part P Doctor' book (covering 17th) going to be available soon? Amazon have it listed. Just wondering as I would like to read it, as part of my arsenal for becoming Part P approved.

    Socket & See, Kewtech or Metrel?

    Now then, Socket & See are under the Kew Technik Group Ltd, Which i believe are Kewtech? So I'm now sliding back to the Fluke or Metrel... I may wait a month and spend the extra pennies on the new Fluke or even a Megger. It's just that I'd like to get hold of my own (tester) sooner rather than...

    Hi, I was just viewing your 'Hall of Shame', When I came across the Proteus CCU feeding a portacabin pictures, where the Neutral Bar has melted away! As you stated that there wasn't a heavy load on it I was wondering what would have caused the problem, or is Proteus just rubbish? Sorry to...

    Socket & See, Kewtech or Metrel?

    Yeah, I am leaning toward the seperates - The Fluke is a good 'un but can be cumbersome.

    Socket & See, Kewtech or Metrel?

    I'm gonna buy, in readiness for 2391, some test equipment. I've been using a friends Fluke 1652B the past few months, I would like a Fluke but can't afford one just yet. So I've been looking at the Metrel Easitest, the Kewtech KT64 and the Socket & See 310, 360 & 380. Anyone had experience...

    Twin 'Brown' and E

    If I was to use twin Br and E, as opposed to Br, Bl and E. Does the switch feed still need to be identified?

    Just bought a Multimeter - Any good guides online?

    What about one of these CLICK then, a step up from NEON I know, but cheap and worth having. You can also get one of these for under 30 quid... Worth having if your into poking about a bit.

    mains incoming...

    Excavation in garden to expose the cable to enable jointing. I found out that the price doesn't include the excavation but i can do it myself. I think it's a bit steep though @ £955.00. Why 'not that easy'... Hole drilled and new tails to new meter location. Meter will have to be moved by...

    mains incoming...

    Here's a fun one. I have a customer, who's kitchen needs turning into a bathroom, however - The main incoming electric cable, service head and meter are all located in a wooden cupboard in that room (The CU is already in another room). Now it would be rather stupid to leave it there as it's to...

    seperate shower enclosure

    Ha ha, I don't mean the actual shower enclosure, where the water is! i meant the shower cu (ip65 enclosure), But it doesn't matter. I've actually thought about it now.. I just need the MCB in the main CU, wired up to the seperate shower cu RCD (which will be right next to the existing CU and...

    seperate shower enclosure

    Cool, thanks for that! As there is an MCB in the 'shower enclosure' should that one be used or an additional one in the CU? Do you know what I mean? Ta.

    seperate shower enclosure

    A seperate shower enclosure, MK IP65 - 63A 30mA RCD. 50A MCB. How should this be wired correctly in regards to the existing CU (Not RCD protected). Split tails from meter or from existing CU (there is room for another MCB). I'd rather have an RCBO in there but can't find one that'll go in the...

    Radio Frequency wood Glue curing

    Oof! That is a bit steep eh? I wonder how much they cost nearly 20 years ago when I used to play with one. I may just go with the Titebond II... and invest in a few more sash cramps. Thanks Jason.

    22mm thick, straight joint, but I have thought about biscuit jointing perhaps.

    Radio Frequency wood Glue curing

    Many years ago, I worked for a 'reproduction furniture' company, my job was to make the panels, ie. plane down, glue and sash cramp the wood to make table tops, dresser sides etc. The company introduced a Radio Frequency device that cured the glue in seconds, allowing the cramps to be removed...
