    House Extension & Building Regs

    Yes, the beginning was a bit of a total farce, one guy drew up the plans & was submitting the work under his company. It became very apparent even before ground was broken that he didn't have a clue, the plans were a joke, wrong sizes, wrong specification of trusses, windows etc. Even the...

    Wall Sockets for Lights

    Have to go see somebody on Friday to give a quote. On the phone they were asking for the centre light to be removed in the lounge & replaced by series of sockets around the wall that they could plug standard lamps into controlled by the switch that previously controlled the centre light. They...

    Where to start

    Great advice from above, 'IF' you're already in paid work & you can stick with it & do a course at night school, probably 2x 4 hour sessions a week it WILL save you a small fortune, but take 2 years. I once went on a seminar to become a driving instructor, it was clear at the end all they...
