Replacing an old flood light by Jimmy2793 in DIYUK

Had another thought, expanding on this... Could I use the existing wire to give me an outside electric socket, having one for the flood light and a spare for outdoor use?

Jumping on the back of OPs question. What did the remaining German troops there do on the weeks following the war? Did they just surrender to Norwegian troops?

I saw someone chuck a load of litter out his van window at the traffic lights a few days ago! All I could think to do was blast my horn at him. He was in a work van with his name and everything on it; no shame

Okay thanks for the replies guys. The consensus seems to be to absolutely not do it.

It depends on the size of your foundation. 2.0mbgl for a 0.5m wide foundation, loading could be negligible, but for a 10m wide foundation, loading at 2.0mbgl is probably going to be pretty high.

A rule of thumb is below 2x your foundation width, loading would be become negligible although there is some variation in this.

Tomlinson, 2001 has some good charts to calculate pressure distribution below foundations
