    Hi, here's a good one - replaced 15 E-lights recently, (tube type replaced with Newlec led type), and noticed one of the old outside Thorn 2D E-lights was on when driving past a few days later.

    Ovo won't Fit a Smart Meter.

    My daughter wanted a smart meter but when the fitter came he said he couldn't fit it because "the meter is on the same board as the CU". I don't have a picture and she lives 120 miles away, but I do know that it is all in her understairs cupboard. Is this something to be concerned about?

    Washer won't stop - keeps going through all the cycles - Any Idea?

    Working on a Roper washing machine model rtw4641bq0. It completely runs an entire cycle and then starts over again. I have to manually cancel it otherwise it would run all day. Also, if the power goes out the washer automatically starts up again once power is brought back. Any ideas? Thank...

    Notching the side of a joist?

    I know the regs for the regular notching of joists, but I can find nothing about notching up the side of a joist. I need to route my cables up past a large wooden beam 4500mm x 400mm, 115mm thick. Do the normal rules apply? 0.07-0.25 of the length and 0.125 of the depth? Or is it a no go? Cheers
