    JB's under floorboards

    What a ridiculous way of rewiring lights this was. Got L-N fault on lighting in a nursery. No lights on the entire bottom floor. With it being a nursery it's literally impossible to do anything whilst it's open because of the children. Anyway I went tonight to try and trace the fault. Every...

    Other than recharging, is it possible to check a rechargeable battery?

    I had not used my B&D mini vacuum for a while, went to recharge it but the charger gave no output. Stupidly without checking the price of a new mini vac like the Vax Gator, I bought a new B&D charger but the battery would not recharge. Consequently, for future information I wondered if there...

    Glands without shrouds?

    Personally I think A CW SWA gland looks a lot better in a finished job without the shroud than they do with it, especially when there are 8 RGM glands in a row next to it, but does any one know of any reason why not fitting the shroud would be a problem? The gland is indoors in a dry and heated...
