    Domestic CCTV recommendations

    fitted a 5 camera Reolink system to my large bungalow, been in over 2 years and never had a problem. App is good and NVR hasn’t missed a beat.

    Spray booth fan no earth

    As said be very careful, don’t know if it’s the same but when spraying conformal coating there were a lot of safe guards including water curtains…. Did you ever do the custard powder in a tin experiment in science at school? 💥🤯💥🤯💥

    18th edition exam related

    Two ring mains in a room

    Hi could someone clarify if it is ok to have 2 ring mains in a room if at the board there’s a house layout detailing which socket is on each circuit? The house has been knocked about a bit with some internal stud walls removed hence the conundrum! Thanks for any input
