BAS is better with his long write ups as to why you shouldn't be doing what you intend. His one liners are crap!
Although I must admit, it does annoy me when pictures are uploaded and I have to search someones profile for them, or click to an external site to see them.
You should go to the effort of placing them inline with your text. It's not hard, and saves everybody time.

Sorry. I will try and see how you do it. I am not great with technology and am looking after a baby full time whilst trying to do all this. Hence late night postings. Will try harder!
Hi all, looks like i have annoyed a few people. It took me ages to upload the album coz the site wouldn't accept them at first, then I have had to upload them a couple at a time. If I can't figure out how to get photos in posts then I will not ask a question on a forum that need pics, then no-one gets hacked off. Thanks for all your input. 
Oh okay. I appreciate people are using their time to answer questions from people who haven't a clue like me so I will try and work it out. In the meantime we've just found out the joiner did the floorboards perfectly over the wires and pipework only to then use a nail gun which has now split all his good work. Husband's been away working to come back to that. So, I will get my trusty camera out...........
Yes, it is annoying, but some people forget that there are others who aren't adept at technology and struggle to do what, to some of us, "is easy".
Interestingly, when I look at your profile, it says "GeorgeP uploaded new photos to their album: Loft conversion plastering 11 hours ago"
But when I click the link it says "This person does not have any albums."
Very odd
There's a guide to uploading photos here
Easily done. Just as easy to stick nails through the pipes and cables
If it's any consolation, even experienced people can struggle getting a tradesman who can a) understand basic instructions, and b) do a decent job. My brother had to sack a plumber, get the builder to fix some of his bodges (like cavernous holes though the walls), and then get a decent plumber to pull most of the work out and do it again properly. Apart from not understanding the different between thermal store and open vent cylinder, his work was "a complete bodge" and he even put valves/pipework where it would prevent cupboard doors being closed
BAS. Is there a solution for this? Reason I ask is because I'll be doing this in the bathroom shortly (pipes & backboxes) - building control are insisting on insulation so have to use it.
Insisting on insulation where and why, and in connection with what work?

Perhaps they haven't figured out how to do the last 3 steps yet. It's not at all unreasonable for them to have not found the link on how to do it (I had to use search to find it). Like I say, it's easy to just assume that everyone would know how to do it - but as the old saying goes, assume makes an "ass" out of "u" and "me".
Stick with us GeorgeP. Not being an easy way to access your pictures will pee off the quick thread scanners, it is a lot easier though! But in a weird way, the folks who have been there and done that will try to get to your pictures and help you out.
Did it! : Wanted to say that all those wires coming down to meet the bathroom light socket are from the loft conversion. Having been to check the house, there really doesn't look any other way that they can run other than through this channel to get to the garage which houses the meter. Down from this socket - they run to meet a 2 gang light switch for the hallway lights and then through the wall to the meter as the garage is built in. How else they could get there is impossible to tell. This would explain why the wires are outside the safe zone??? They are all clipped in nicely apart from the outer one on the left. Hope being able to post a pic in my post now helps BAS.

its a bit deceiving but projecting a line from the right hand edge of the switchbox upwards what would you say is the distance to the outer edge of the furthest right cable higher up say 150mm from ceiling
