    Electric enclosure inner empty space (in the bottom)

    Hi! My name is James. I am starting a company which will build a device for your fuse box. I would like to know, how much empty space you have in your fuse box, to install additional device there, like 10cm x 10cm. Also, maybe someone has any statistics of this not in UK. Will appreciate your help!

    Loft / Attic space running cables

    Evening folks. Just out of interest I wondered what methods you guys are using in lofts / attics to keep your cables out of the mountains of insulation you can find these days? Are you running your cables under insulation against the plasterboard or are you trying to clip to the roof trusses...

    I'm half way through an installation job that I didn't design, and have come up against an oversight that I need a solution for. The issue at hand is a new kitchen with a cooker and an oven.

    Office space

    Do any of you lads have business premises? Do you feel it gives you a more corporate / bigger business look than the average sole trader who works from home. I have office / storage space and a small retail unit... At the moment it's all bills, but early days so I'm not worried yet. Cheers Ste

    Philae' Rosetta mission is a hoax!

    Does anyone else think that it's a bit far fetched to believe a probe launched 10 years ago, with possibly even older technology can be shot through space 300 million miles, then somehow 'landed and operated' on a gravity free rock hurtling through space? This is the Western Front Willy...
