    Building a false floor for the new van.

    I recently sold my Renault Trafic as it had done 214,000 miles and I also wanted something more economical. I bought the Citroen Berlingo LWB. A very nice van to drive, more like a car than a van. However, I had to take out roughly half of the stuff I had had in the Renault as the berlingo was...

    Runpotec XB300 cable dispenser / runposticks / thread size

    I've just watched the video Steve. It looks great doesn't it. I instantly though... I'm going to get one! I'm forever in the loft, or up a ladder and the damn cable comes off the reel. My only concern is that on most occasions you are pulling the cable up, not side ways as they a re showing in...

    Any advice on rewires?

    Completely agree Mike. the ads are now in the posts, actually blocking the content from view. They only ever get worse.

    Any advice on rewires?

    Have you used the triple blade @nicebutdim ? I'd be interested to hear from anyone else who has used it and if they like it. I think you are right and I will probably buy another one. It saved a lot of time over the last 2 years and would certainly have paid for itself

    Milwaukee M18 Fuel!

    I was working alongside the plumber yesterday. I had to drill some 32mm holes through joists. I always use my Makita 481 high torque drill will a spade bit that has a screw thread on the end. The makita drill will always go through it on t he high torque (slower speed) setting but often stops if...

    How many Downlights can an electrician install in a day?

    I think your question has already been answered. One person has said they may do it more quickly and the other posts have said 4 hours is about right or perhaps quite quick.

    How many Downlights can an electrician install in a day?

    It took me an entire day to fit zero downlights once. Large dining room. Ceiling joists literally everywhere, crossing over each other, attached to each other, zig zagging all over the place (no access above). I eventually figured out an acceptable pattern that the husband liked (after 5 hours...

    Discovery of the day

    That was an very good piece of detective work Tim. You would never really consider it, as its so, so unlikely. It will have saved you a lot of hassle!

    What is a 'plug in' solar panel system?

    Could you expand a little please @Bsharp ? Are you meaning that octopus allows you to take advantage of the SEG without requiring MCS certification?

    What is a 'plug in' solar panel system?

    Can you see any difference to a normal solar install Tim? It seems they are basically just getting the customer to do the whole installation apart from the final connection to a circuit breaker?? They are then calling it a plug and play to make it sound simple, even though it doesn't seem to...

    What is a 'plug in' solar panel system?

    My best mate has been medically retired from the prison service at the young age of 52 and has time on his hands :D He's looking at a 'plug in' solar panel system. I've a read through it and with my limited experience of solar it looks like is is no different to a normal solar panel system...

    Green Laser level

    This is the one I use (see below). I love it. The green laser shows up outside even on a sunny day ( not really far away though, cant give exact distances as I can't remember). With this one you just use a dewalt battery, so you never run out of power as long as you have a spare battery ready...

    Any advice on rewires?

    The final chapter! The triple blade has died :( I let the labourer use It for a rewire. He was getting through the chases very quickly which was great, but I realise now he was pushing the blade too hard. Rather than let the blade do the work he was forcing it to chew more quickly than it...

    Sharing and providing electrical (or Gas Plumbing) advice online - Discussion thread

    That's a pretty stark warning and I completely agree with it. I'm in the group that doesn't give advice to DIYers as I think it does more harm that good. I'm a bit unsure why we have a DIY forum if we are not supposed to give electrical advice to them though? Also, a number of forum members give...

    How to disable a burglar alarm

    Definitely let us know how this one goes Pirate. It could be quite funny šŸ˜ As above, take ear defenders up the ladder with you, as it is going to be horribly loud right next to your head.
