Hi all, just wanted to introduce myself.
Old git who likes to have a go and then when I've mucked it up, call the pros in (if I can afford it!).
Decent enough at carpentry and happy to give anything else a turn, but getting too old and knackered now to be crawling around in small spaces or up...
New member. My Dad built houses (the whole thing - frame - electrical - plumbing - HVAC, etc) ). His kids were born with a hammer in their hands. I do most of my own repairs, but usually know when to back off and call in the pros, especially when it's electrical.
Hey All,
Just announcing myself as a new member.
A former heavy industry electrician (British Steel) for over a decade though now more of a DIY'er. Looking to get some UK specific advice on various domestic electrical best practise, etc. in the future.
Cheers
