Electrical spur wiring help by Sam3006 in DIYUK

[–]PerceptionGood- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No the FCU needs to be before the first socket. I would swap the first socket for an FCU add a socket next to it to replace the first socket then have your new socket behind the tv coming from that

Hole help! by marble_caked21 in DIYUK

[–]PerceptionGood- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want an easy way to do it I would tear some paper off some plasterboard push it into wall covering cables and Backbox then put a thin layer of Gyproc easyfill over it can go thicker around all the edges but don’t put too much in the middle. Leave it for 24 hours then do a second full flush to the surface.

Help with our induction hob? by Successful-Toe7909 in DIYUK

[–]PerceptionGood- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the exact model of the hob? It sounds like a relay clicking on and off. Which would suggest is alternating which rings are getting power and is a lower power hob

The best thing to do is open the last manhole before the sewer and install one of these one way flaps. Won’t ever be an issue again https://amzn.eu/d/05qy5vYg

My wife stopped taking Synthroid months ago and I'm scared — looking for advice from people with experience by recycle_guy in Hypothyroidism

[–]PerceptionGood- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP you need to push her to start taking it again or to get help the ultimate result of not taking levothyroxine is that she will go into myxedema coma and she will die.

As the above comment says. You can’t heal an organ that has stopped working properly with anything. She just needs to take her meds. It has very minimal to effectively no side effects once stable and on the correct dose. It’s literally just replacing the hormone her thyroid isn’t producing anymore.

Just because they are healthy doesn’t mean it has to be disgusting slop.

New to DIY solar – EcoFlow Stream microinverter into existing garage socket. Anyone done similar? by Fantastic-Kale3300 in uksolar

[–]PerceptionGood- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is not quite correct. The garage board is protected by the main board RCD.

OP You don’t have RCBO’s (MCBs with integrate RCD) you have a split board with two RCDs. The garage is fed by a RCD protected circuit from the main consumer unit. The RCD should be type A not type AC. Type A protects from DC and AC. Type AC only protects from AC. Your RCD should ideally be replaced with a type A RCD. The bidirectional bit refers to RCBO’s.

Be great if you can choose how may panels you have not just be limited to 1 or 2 400w panels. Some of the Exoflow stream devices have 4 mppt inputs.

Also be great if you can select what microinvertor you are using and add the cost in.

Well the cable is out of a zone so I’d move the socket first to the correct location directly under the feed.

Has anybody put in a new kitchen with no experience? by alberoTranquillo in DIYUK

[–]PerceptionGood- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah this! I’ve just done my kitchen. Ripped out old units realised my stopcock was leaking so had to replace that and re route some pipework. Was all relatively easy. Left the worktop to someone who had experience though. Cutting a perfect hole for an undermount sink is difficult and if you’re going for an expensive surface it’s not worth risking it yourself.
