You can do as he does, if you like.

Just get a 3-phase supply laid in and away you go.

Simples.

Still manages to drop it in that he has presumably 10 bedrooms.

I may be wrong, but I can't for the life of me think of when/why I would have said anything about the number of bedrooms. Anyway, you're wrong.

In any event, if I did have 10 bedrooms, what on earth would that matter - to you or anyone else?

As his advise seems to be ( before it got deleted) " do as I say, not what I do"...

On the contrary - I was saying "if your (shower) usage situation is similar to mine, then 'do as I do' " - however, when people started fussing about that, I decided to delete it.

... I think I'll put him on "ignore" .

That sounds like a pretty good idea, since it presumably means that you won't be writing any further posts about me.

Kind Regards, John

You could host the DIYnot Summer BBQ.

I would hope that 10 bedrooms would be a little too few for such an event!

We moved here, 31 years ago, from a standard 2½-bed semi ... must be at least 4 times larger than our previous house...

2½ x 4 = ________

Despite Estate Agents and conventions, I don't think that the number of bedrooms is a particularly good guide to the 'largeness' (volume, floor area or whatever) of a house. However, I don't disagree that 2½ x 4 = 10, and nor do I doubt that if (which I certainly don't, and never have done) I wanted to configure 10 rooms as bedrooms, I probably could.

... but, as I asked, so what? - i.e. why should it matter to DaveHerns, you or anyone else? My circle of 'family and friends' encompasses those who live in houses (or flats) with one bedroom up to those who live in houses with more than 10 bedrooms, but I don't judge any of them, or think of them any differently, because of that characteristic of where they live!

Plus not everyone might make it that far...

Can't speak for him, but IDGAT.

I was only suggesting a "reason" for his assertion that you have 10 bedrooms.

 

[JohnW2]

Indeed - the arithmetic explanation hadn't occurred to me, but you are very probably right about that. Whatever, I don't really care!

I'd personally get the board replaced and brought up to date and not worry about other options. I'd be surprised if it wasn't the first thing the electrician suggested.

I'd like to go to that party in the last picture!

 

[ban-all-sheds]

You did go, but you started drinking on the coach and peaked too soon..

Well, i hadn't seen this thread this far, but it's nice to get people's insecurities ito in the open so they can be dealt with, so there's something good come out of it.
