1. Remove all heavy furniture from upstairs. Place in Storage.

2. Roll up all upstairs carpets. Ditto.

3. Lift floorboards to enable cable routing (not the ones that the plumber has wrecked, fitting central heating)

4. Move all downstairs furniture to centre of rooms and cover with dust sheets.

5. Cover all ground floor carpets with polythene sheeting.

6. Chase out from ground floor ceiling vertically to every point you require a fitting/accessory.

7. Now that you've realised that you are totally out of your depth, get on the phone to a qualified Sparks.

No probs mate...Thing with me is i hate seeing s**t work (not implying anything towards your work) But crap we come across when out working:real yul brynner stuff some of it......take a look through the archives on this forum....plenty of pictorial evidence to choose from (it would be funny if it wernt damn right dangerous some of it)...........

Sorry, but I won't stand for anyone insulting Yul, he was always an exemplary 'Cowboy' figure. Now don't get me started with Glen Ford or Gary Cooper... NOW they were terrible cowboys!!!

Thought he was insulting all bald sparks Ken, Magnificent 7, great film, but of course the only true cowboy was John Wayne, the only one who could ride his horse while dragging both feet along the ground, ( think they gave him small horses to make him look bigger )

no prob. made me smile. sometimes the big O has good gear, this AEG ain't in the league of dewalt, but with LiIon battery (only 1 i'm afraid) but also witha 100 piece drill bit set all for £71.

I got those. My fav piece of kit!!

 

[GLENNSPARK]

Nice n easy arnt they micky...light weight but plenty of power: in fact i dont use the rattler too often as they dont take prisoners regarding smaller screws or those crap quality ones that sometimes come with fittings....in the bin with them.........

 

[telectrix]

the screws that come with fittings usually have a head that only martian screwdrivers will fit anyway.

never seen them. what are they like drilling brick?

 

[GLENNSPARK]

There an impact driver and a drill/driver tel (no percussion action) but believe me mate.....you wont beat em for all day working and the li-ion batterys are great. If you are hitting eng brick or ruabon then only a rotary hammer for me..........they will drive straight into thermalite (no plug) and dont sniff at 10 gauge long screws...well worth 135 quid.......
