That's the way to do it.

Provided you are competent (knowledge + experience) you can do your own work. There are some jobs you are not supposed to do yourself, and require a proper electrician, such as installing a complete new circuit from the consumer unit, working on...

Is that you at Gretna for a special event?? 😵‍💫

Don’t 🍻. Just get more beer. J

Its the death of the householder that electrocuted himself by feeding one room from two sources and only switchin one source off at the board.

I replaced that seat mesh on my trike. :) Seems OK. Time will tell. Is already nicer to sit on. Will need tightening up after a while.

You can do your own installation and get it certified by a registered a sparkey or get it registered under competent person act

Arrived, 230 miles at 70/75 and showing 43 mpg Happy with that 🙂

I felt embarrassed when I typed it 😉

:vb-weyes: :vb-groan2: That should be in the joke fred:p. J

Wow! That depends on the house I guess, but that sounds way over the top. Used to be you could DIY and then call the electricity board to come and do a safety check. Nowadays everything has to be NICIEC certified (or whatever has now...

Done a crate of beer this week all ready will need to get extra if this temperature carries on , or get fizzy water 😕

Don't you have to have registered certificates now for rewiring. Especially if selling the property later on.

I ain't no expert but have done loads of domestic elecs for myself. Assuming 2 days for a spark and a mate, £1000 should more than cover the labour. Add say another £1000 for materials and profit. Total 2 grand.

Its a bit of "how long is a bit of string" We dont know how many sockets/what type, how extensive is the rewire. New fuse box new scokets+boxes, access (floorboards up?) 2 days work sounds like the house is pretty gutted. I dont know the prices...

I know when Manchester council for my inherited house for my mother at the time. When they altered the shower for a walk in and later adding through floor lift + ceiling bed lift a electrician later gave us certificates for the jobs. Might be...

Yes and no. It seems a little gray area to me. I have also rewired houses, and am confident its ok. but that wouldnt stand in the UK now. But 🤔. Probably yes if they knew🤔. We have had to get electrical "safe" certs for our rentals but they...

Depends on the number of out lets each socket is normally £35 then if a new board with trips depending on type but with a rewiring more work is involved floor bords lifting chasers and plastering?

What price do peeps think it would cost to totally rewire a small 2 bedroom house. The house next to us has been sold & for 2 days work to rewire it he's been quoted 7.5k :oops:

I am lucky to get to 70mph for long enough to even try and measure it :D. J

I normally put a drop of iodine on and thay let go but that one had got it's head right in deep would not let go , we put tick shots on the cat perhaps I should try it 😕

When we or the dogs get one we put white spirit on it which they don't like then take it out very carefully with either the proper tool or tweezers. I believe the problem occurs when they have satiated themselves with your blood and then inject...

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. 😭😭😭 Hope it does her good. Give her my best wishes for a rapid recovery. Crossed fingers for you both.

I expect the rat is scared of having your sausage inside him.

Yeah - you’ve been turning them off every time !

I've been selecting reverse then pressing the switch :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Thanks I'll just leave it be in future 🙂

They should just activate when you engage reverse. Button just under the screen on the dash to turn off/on

Wow get 40 out the defender at 70 mph 😮
