Thermal cutouts
Tue, 15 Jul 2008 02:33:11 -0700 (PDT)
I was charging a car battery in situ using my bog-standard B&Q
extension reel on Saturday and its thermal cutout tripped. The
charger was giving about 4 amps, which makes it about 50W. I had
always presumed that the thermal cutout would trip because of high
current passing through it, but am I missing the point? ...

Rawlplug just turning, how can I get a grip?
Mon, 14 Jul 2008 23:03:22 +0100
I put up one of those floating shelves which took 5 screws. It went on to a
brick / plaster external wall.
The rawlplugs said to use 7mm for the hole but I used a 6mm drill knowing
the drill would probably wander slightly.
3 of the Rawlplugs don't seem to be catching at all and the screws just turn
when they shou ...

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 21:47:58 +0100
Hi
We've had our bath relocated, which means that we have a longer run of
pipe where the outlet comes out of the wall, making its way about six
feet, and an angle of 45degrees, to discharge into the hopper at the
top of the drainpipe.
All tested ok when fitted by the plumber, but when he tested it was
only a ...

Hi all,
I'm renovating the kitchen, but working around the family at the same
time (i.e. keeping the kitchen working whilst doing the work). The
kitchen is large enough to be able to move the old bits around - so I've
plastered, plumbed (some) and done the electrics all round whilst keeping
the cooker, h ...

Mixing cement
Mon, 14 Jul 2008 20:59:51 +0100
Well, I thought 3 parts sand and 1 part cement would be okay, but no.
It's too sandy by far. I'm sure I put in 3 levels of cement and 9 of
sand.
I had to crush some of the portland cement because it's a bit old and
some of has gone hard, but not rock hard. I used a rolling pin.
I'm having to chisel out the ...
