    looking for practical experience

    Try the agencies as an electrical labourer or as a mate, then move on to improver standard. Do you have your CSCS card at all? Another free bit of advice, keep all of your certs in a safe place, they can be a bugger to replace. Andy Guinness

    Electric Timers for Combi boilers

    Hi all, just moving into a bigger, much older house. Its an Arriston Combi boiler, it has a thermostat, but no timer apparently. As this isnt a subject that I know a huge deal about, what options do I have regarding buying a timer? could I possibly get one that incorporates a thermostat etc...

    Spot light help

    Dependent on joist layout Becki, and whether you have plaster board or lathe and plaster ceilings, you might be looking at 12 for your lounge, 4 for the first bedroom and nine for the last bedroom. Andy Guinness

    Nothing Dave, its just the way I do things, but one of the jobs I was on the PB boxes fell away from the wall due to a flood (admittedly not an issue due to install), I just do things differently is all, its just Me, I apologise if I gave the wrong end of the stick, so to speak. Andy Guinness

    todays mess

    Phil, I have recently done a fair bit of general labouring on commercial jobs, like domestic, it all seems to a be a race to the bottom price wise, almost everything in LSF Twin & Earth, fast fix boxes rather than metal back boxes properly mounted to structure, I shake MY head and wonder...

    Van insurance this year !!!!

    Yes Deke, due to alot of medical issues I still havent sorted My full drivers licence yet, so thats why it might be as high as that. It was just an enquiry at the time. Before anyone has a pop at Me, Type 2 Diabetic, Angina, Hypertension, all in the last 2 years to deal with plus recovery time...

    Electrician's pay ?

    I was reading up about the information a while back as to what the £150,000 covers. Its actually the gross profit a firm would need to make to be able to actually employ a full sparky, which when you add everything up, would tally to around £150K per year, so the Daily Mail either cant do their...

    Van insurance this year !!!!

    Deke, it might be worth having a look at the cheapest insurer on these compare websites. I once did a hypothetical on one, a W reg Ford Escort, these sites all said around £1200, (fully comp was cheaper than 3rd party at the time). It came back that the Post Office was the provider, so I then...

    Anyone noticed similar problem ?

    Deke, the Airplane mode turns virtually anything giving or a signal to your phone off. I first learnt this while waiting for an Easyjet flight from Inverness to Luton. It basically switches off your phone without switching it off. Andy Guinness

    Can I sign off under Part P without testing qualification??

    Where in Wales are you Ash? why not try your local college? I am fairly certain that the C&G 2365 Level 2 and 3 is your first port of call, then your 17th Edition Wiring regs, then your testing and inspecting suit of exams. If you can get your NVQ3 and AM2 done whilst doing your 2365 even...
