Exactly, the number of sockets isn't the factor, it's the load. None of the machines are huge in load and she physically cannot operate more than one at a time, she's a 5'4" Scottish girl, not an octopus :p
The shed will be insulated when complete, it's going to be boarded internally with a...
If I end up replacing the cable, I'll be putting in 4 or 6mm. It's purely because the cable is there and intact.
Diesel fired space heater is a good idea. There's a garage at the end of the road does red diesel too.
Skotl, I've too have an elderly Robin test set. Insulation and loop tester...
That was my though too about spurring off the ring, if it trips the whole house for some reason that's a PITA.
Although, it could well end up on the same RCD as the ring main anyway.
Afternoon all,
Need a bit of input from the hive mind.
I've put up a fair sized shed (10x8 ish) for the wife to use for her craft, sewing, escpaing from the kids.
Needs a supply, for lighs and power.
There happens to be a 3x1.5mm2 SWA running exactly where the shed is, it used to power a lamp...
I've had a bit of experience with these. I am still cutting our lawn with one that was bought by my grandfather in the mid 1960s. In the 1980s when he passed it came North to us, with a siezed engine and a cracked roller. My dad and I overhauled the engine one summer holiday, a colleague of his...
My wife used to work for International Decorative Surfaces, part of the Saint Goabin group. UK's biggest distributor of flooring, laminates and worktops.
At out old house, we put down 21mm hand distressed solid Oak from Tuscan that she obtained on staff discount. Hard work, it is Oak after all...
We often see MOVs blown on SMPS units in cinema projectors.
Took a while to get to the bottom of this, they are made by Sanrex, for 220v in Europe.
So when hit with the 250V we regualrly see, plus the odd higher ripple or spike, they go boom.
We started running them through a step down...
I'm about to make a wee fireside log holder, I thought I'd impress the mem-sahib by producing a CAD drawing.
Been swearing at Sketchup for an hour, given up and got the Mk1 Staedtler A3 board out.
I'll have it rattled up in about 15 minutes.
I've just sprayed both garage doors with it, using one of those Earlex HVLP systems. I couldn't be ar5ed excavating the compressor from the bowels of the garage to use the gravity fed gun.
Got a great finish in the end, here's my experience.
I got a 5l tin from Smith and Allan. When I ordered...
A pilot hole though both courses I can do no problem.
Sounds like it'll be OK if I take my time.
It's a diamond core cutter I have, everything I've ever drilled into the walls of this house has been easy enough, not encountered any diamonds!
Our last house, built 1880s was stone, no problem...
Years ago, like 40 years ago. My brother started taking lessons, his tutor recomended a Yamaha as a starter guitar. So my mum bought him one.
He's still got it.
I've got a Yamaha F310, it's cheap and very playable.
I also have a Yamaha bass guitar, not expensive but plays way above it's price.
Ah, good point!
No it's a single speed SDS.
I think I'll look for a hire, or a used core drill to sell on once I'm done. I've a vent to put in for the tumble dryer through block in another room and potentially a much smaller core for a bit of SWA.
I could chain, but it's up high, above the...
Afternoon all,
I am going to replace the cooker hood here at home. The present one is unvented so does nothing useful.
There's an outside wall about 4 feet left of the hood, so my plan is to core through above the cupboards and run duct along the top of them.
I've got a diamond core bit the...
I asked my insurer as the MOT and insurance are due within days of each other.
They couldn't have been less interested. All they said was that it's your duty to keep the vehicle roadworthy.
Picked up one of these to drive my wee TIG box. Time will tell.

I had been using an ex cinema arc lamp SMPSU but a cinema was in need so it went back into it's day job.
