Been working in a big old house, where I needed to lift multiple floorboards for access. Pipes, cables were often touching the underside of the floorboards, so needed to cut with care. Using the Bosch POF cutter to cut between them but it's hard going and the blades are rubbish so not lasting...
Hi all,

Hi
wondered if anyone can give me any advice, I have a veritas r8 plus alarm fitted and over the past few weeks it has gone off at random times when I'm out and the alarm islet. It's always the same zone that shows up -the back room - would anyone be able to tell me what's causing this ?
Thanks
Hi.
First post for me, now that I've been cajoled by the forum boss (?), Dan.
I've been a member for about 7 months, and it certainly helped me get NIC DI ~5 mnths ago, by providing lots of posts on real-world stuff, like whether to pull the service fuse to isolate for a new CU, without me...

Any ideas?

Been doing a job on and off for a few weeks, mainly because the chap doing the building works isn't very good at estimating times to achieve tasks.
As a result, there has been the odd day where I've not been able to get on site to do work as the building work isn't ready for me then when he's...
Hi all
I need to run some cabling for an external socket in a garden. The cabling will be run around the walls and will not be buried.
The cable will need to pass throught an 18" solid wall and there will be a number of turns before the final destincation.
What do you think is the best...
