    Temporary wiring/electrics system not behind walls for a year-is this doable?

    Hi there, Just about to move into a house with 2 small kids and the wiring/electrics haven't been updated in years (hard to know as it's probate). Looks like some work has been done about 20 years ago and there's a mix of VERY old sockets/electrics (on skirting boards) with some newer ones circa...

    Passing electric cables through walls?

    Hey! I've got one room in the house with a wall socket. I'll be installing a new wall socket on the other side of that wall, passing an electrical cable from one socket to the other for wiring it up.

    Bungalow bathroom fan, no external walls

    I've just had a look at an extractor fan not working. As per title it's a bungalow and there are no external walls, so it vents through the loft and roof. Earlier this year the customer requested a more powerful fan and the sparks fitted a Manrose inline unit. Fair play. But the thing is...

    Reasonably priced cable/circuit tracer for 4" walls?

    I see circuit tracers priced from $25 to 1000s of dollars. I guess that the cheap ones won't do. I can find the circuit breaker. I want to find where the NM cables run inside the walls and perhaps ceilings, so that I have some hope of finding where it is mis-wired. So all I need is a tracer...
