You may choose companions for (almost) any reason, but bear in mind the forum...
Hello everyone,
Just came across this forum looking online for help with what I thought would be a simple job and has now turned into a nightmare. I'm fitting a new ceiling rose and I'm confused with the wiring - esp. the loop part. In essence how do I get these wires in the right places on this...
Good evening,
Got stuck on a section of my written work which we have been instructed to complete but as I haven't experienced these scenarios yet am struggling a little bit and haven't had much luck researching through notes/ handouts and guidance notes. People on here have been very helpful...
