Sunray, thanks… not easily or cheaply…would need a 40m z-shaped run of cable approx plus digging up a sandstone patio/drains.

Yes..3ph E7….historical reason, there is a disconnected 24KW 3ph swimming pool heater on the wall ! You can scroll thru the readings via the blue button…date/time, peak, off peak, total. That supply might come in useful for EV charging at some point, though I am paying 2 standing charges of...

Thanks John...The house meter is dated 2008 I think..and the garage 3 phase looks like 2011 (both dates printed on the meters). They are separate supplies. Both were replaced in 2012-ish by SSE. I am just trying to avoid hassle rather than avoiding smart meters. Do they even do Econ7 3-phase...

Have now...had to delete off meter info from the pics !

Hi..just had a letter from the supplier saying they need to change the econ 7 meters due to Radio 4LW signal etc...but do I really need to change them? The house supply has an old fashioned mech timer...and the garage has a 3 phase supply meter..photos attached.

We are losing loads of white polystyrene balls via the airbricks. What’s the best way to secure black fibreglass or plastic gauze (like mosquito netting) to the bricks or mortar to prevent this. Cable clips? Sticks- like? Aluminium strip ?We live in a very windy exposed area and the pointing is...

if you are in the UK Screwfix do a 0000 wire wool used for fine polishing of wood. I used it on a french polished piano lid with methelayted spirit where a pot plant had caused similar damage and, after re-polishing, it has come up well.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I used a 10mm Ali oxide grinding wheel I had in my Dremel kit…seems to have sorted the problem. Just need to touch up some white lacquer to camouflage it a bit. . The units are nearly 40 years old...and it's not noticeable enough to worry about.

I am 50% there...one side was doable by adjusting the Hafele horizontal adjustment....just the other side to do which will need some surgery, care and patience.

They are a very high gloss lacquer which can split when you try and drill into it….i think they are 1980’s fronts. I might try and create a small hemisphere on the side of the drawer using sandpaper wrapped/glued around a dowel held in a drill and gently present the edge of the drawer front to...

I have 2 kitchen drawers in a corner at 90 degrees to each other and have to replace the handles due to failure of the metal. I can’t buy the same handles any more but the replacement ones catch the other drawer by about 2mm. I have altered the drawer front adjustment to its max deflection...

Variable BBC1, BBC2, BBC4 Yesterday signals - sometimes I can pick them up on a Sony TV, sometimes I get "No signal" message on screen. If I unscrew the wall plate everything seems OK, no loose braiding etc. However, if I put a screwdriver onto the screw clamping the signal cable inside the...

My Samsung has packed up - the fuse between the Magnetron and Capacitors has blown (5000V 0.8 A) . Before I replace it, I want to run some tests to find the cause. Any ideas - I can check for shorts, etc - there doesn't seem to be much more to the circuit though. I don't really want to...

Need some advice. Existing pump, elecs and plumbing (isolators etc) for power shower is behind a screwed, removable panel (tiled) about 6 ins up from the shower tray. I am looking to replace or overlay the tiled walls with Aquamura. Can you cut and seal Aquamura with such an inspection panel...

Like a lot of others on the forum we have an 1880s end terrace with shared supply. When next door flushes the toilet, the dishwasher in our place cuts out. Water Co wants '000s to run a separate supply + sort out the internal pipework after. Question - is it going to be easier to keep the...
