God there is nothing worse than hollow single skin brick walls when it comes to fixing in back boxes, one method that I managed to get away with when installing a new switch for the lighting circuit was to drill some holes in through the back boxes in the corners at an angle, so you could fix the screws through the corner at a 45° angle or there abouts, so there was a bit of a mechanical fixing point prior to foaming in like you did. I am not saying that mechanical fixings are necessary when it comes to jobs like this but I suppose it’s just for a little bit of belt and braces for peace of mind. Good work Cameron 👍🏻

Another goody Cameron, the missus will be pleased to see the end of it (as I suspect will you). I a nice video for us wannabe DIY'ers would be a plastering one. With all the chasing out and walk work, a walkthrough of basic plastering would be great (if that is in your tool set?). I know it's a hard learned trade job, but any tips would be great. If it's one of those jobs you just leave to a plasterer then by all means say. Cheers, all the best mate..Paul...

@TheDIYGuy1 11 ай бұрын

Actually a great point. Plastering is one of the things that I haven’t yet learnt fully and I can only do small areas to a pretty low standard but I do have a friend who is now teaching me. I’m thinking maybe I could invite him into a video so we can all learn together! If it’s something you guys want to see I’m happy to do it.

@danielcookeb90 10 ай бұрын

Also Cameron, did you budget specifically for the electric cabling, and how much of it did you - will you use? Ballpark figures would be greatly appreciated giving us a clue what to budget for. Having a mate, who will confirm your work and hook it all up, is probably the biggest thing. Maybe a quick wiring plan sketched up, would be worth showing. Like other guys said, a bit more detail. Doing great! Well done and keep it up.

Use hearing protection. All those power tools even for short periods will have a detrimental effect on your hearing in the long term. Basic ear defenders only cost a few quid, noise cancelling a few more. You’ll be glad you did in a few years. I have to rewire my house because of the green goo, so this is golden information.

You can get wireless switches for the lights, so you don't need to chase the switch drops, just replace the switch for the wireless click type and have a reciever unit nearby. We did this for a stone cottage and put all the recievers in a box, labelled them and ran the switch lives to each light point. Much simplier to wire up and saved a lot of time. You can connect as many switches as you want to one reciever so you can have 2 way, 3 way etc all activating one reciever. They even make them WiFi controlled now so you can use smart tech to operate the recievers!

@davideyres955 11 ай бұрын

Get your self a big floor standing fan. Open the window and point it out the window crank the fan to max and make sure you have an open window or side the room you’d be surprised how much air pressure this will create. A through flow of air will carry the dust out with it. If you don’t mind having a fan that’s really powerful they you could use an industrial unit to pull more air, but the stand up fan can be re used when things get hot once you’re done creating dust. Also radials at 4mm are better than rings, easier to test and easier to debug if something breaks.

@JP_TaVeryMuch 10 ай бұрын

The joy of a combi boiler is that it never runs out of hot water because it heats it on command. That is, you turn the hot tap on and the water is heated as it passes by the flame in the boiler. The only way it would run out is if you ran out of gas for the flame or indeed water for the err... water. Some shower pumps used to be uppity about combi-supplied hot water but less so nowadays.
