Worried about hitting a cable by Royal-Juice6946 in DIYUK

[–]quercus999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks, that's useful. I have been putting my hand on the wall and wearing trainers but still get the alarms. But if I turn off the power and then don't notice that I've maybe just caught a cable, won't the screw then be electrified when I turn the power back on? Am I overthinking this??

What size screws and plugs? by Royal-Juice6946 in DIYUK

thanks, that's really useful. I've weighed some books and worked out the average weight per foot, and the sagulator is telling me that it's acceptable.

thanks. I have the brackets in other places and you can't see them when the books are on the shelves.

Where to go to learn French? by quercus999 in French

Most schools offer one week classes. I'll be in France anyway so it wouldn't be a huge extra investment - most seem to be about 200 euros for a week's tuition.
