    Casing walls and sinking back boxes

    Nah if the wall caser is just two angle grinders, can I not just use an angle grinder ? It so happens my dad just brought a cheapo angle grider because cutting off 10mm off a tile using a normal tile cutter is difficult. It saves my wallet and my ears

    Garage cu - discrimination

    Am not sure what the heck have I purchased. Anyway there are two unprotected ways next to the main sw. They're for the smoke detector and alarm. May I ask why there is a 9 way connector strip for each RCD when there's only 5 mcbs per rcd? Any chance of cutting them shorter so I can make the...
