It wasn't me, I was nowhere near that area yesterday. Actually, I was but just passing by on the M4. I would guess Rockingit is right. If a 132kV TX goes down it'll take out all the subs until things can be rerouted.
@Dan yes, there are auto fire systems, or deluge systems, on transformers...
You can pick up buck converters on ebay or amazon for a couple of pound/dollars that will do the job. An example would be On Ebay You will need a multimeter to set up the output voltage
It's been a quiet morning. Walked the dog then went to Screwfix to pick up my free lap dry lining back boxes. Off to Sainsburies to get dog food then home and pack my case. Will be driving up to Chester this afternoon ready for a 7am start tomorrow.
I'm already thinking that way. I just looked behind my own TV and found 12 plugs. Can't even work out what they are all for.
The pair are going to chalk out where they want sockets. I'll go up and add what I think they will need and then we'll consult the spark and see what extra he suggests.
The plumber is great. Joinery is a mix of her boyfriends father (that's his trade) and the boyfriend so we are okay on both those sides.
Good call on the neutrals to each switch. Even though the two of them are not interested in that sort of stuff at the moment who knows what they will want in...
Telly they want in the corner but I'll check about bedroom
No immersion, it's a combi
Attic - that will have to be done. It's a big attic with ladder access which they are going to improve
Probably have kitchen on separate circuit just as a precaution.
Me and the electrician are going to have...
Outside lights - Yes.
Supply for shed - Yup, forgot about that
Hot tub - no chance. We live in Wales
A/C - Again, this is Wales
Garden socket - maybe one for the jet washer. Use garden shed supply?
Network cables - Yup, I'll sort that out. At the moment they use wifi for everything including...
That's got me thinking which is never a good thing. I'm working away until Thursday night but I'm tempted on Friday to whip out my ductor (micro ohm meter) and actually check some sockets (not connected ones for obvious reasons) and see what sort of readings I get. I've got a feeling they will...
Saxon - And the BANDs played on.
A song about the first 'Monsters of Rock' at Castle Donnington back in 1980. I was there. Spent 2 nights with 3 of us sleeping in a Vauxhall Viva HB. That makes me feel old but that could be because I am.
I was thinking of the kitchen lights in case something trips the downstairs lights and someone is cooking. Perhaps overkill?
Ah yes, cooker. Okay, they are gas but as you say, let's future proof.
Washer/dryer could have it's own.
Smokes? Don't think they are needed in Wales? Isn't that a...
The daughter and her boyfriend are doing up a house. They bought it last year and have totally gutted it. At the moment they have knocked two rooms into one. It's just a shame it's a downstairs room and an upstairs room. Anyway, the floors and walls are being dealt with. Onwards comes the...
