Cheers Jon, I'm pleased to see your enjoying them, it is good fun really to be doing all this work knowing that it will all pay back in the dark cold nights. Projects manager was at home doing lots of projecty things, However I did put a request in for assistance with the 22mm pipe work. cheers Jon Barry
Well done Barry it's never easy running cable through a building, I was saying attach string to the first cable, as you later said, whilst watching the video - it sounds like we've had similar experiences. I love the fishing rods for feeding the cable, I've used curtain wire (for net curtains) to feed narrow wires such as telephone or alarm cable an an 8ft length of plastic rail for heavier cables in the past but your set of rods is a much better system. Keep up the good work Terry
cheers Terry, some of the shots make the sub floor look clean, then you hit the areas where the builders left the rubble in the void or the heating engineers left all the trunking from the hot air system in place and it's nipped between the concrete and the joist so you cannot get over it or under it. Before I got the rods which save a lot of time I would use old wire coat hangers, straightened out and taped together, those rods are a god send. Came in very usefull for feeding the 22mm water pipes as well. many thanks Barry
G Day Lance, our lot are trying all the time to make things harder for the DIYer, even though it's not rocket science. because they are incapable of doing anything but pushing a pen, they think we're all the same. looking forward to your next stew and hopefully the new traile hitch. cheers Lance Barry
In my house the plug sockets are from 72mm ( ideal), 60mm ( can put up with) & 20mm (far to low!) from the floor. Being tall the higher the better! Good job on your 1st fix electrics.
Hi TC, the electrics in the house were put in at 300mm in the days it was built, then there was a change in the regs to make it easier for disabled people and they raised the height to 450mm, funny though as I get older I doappreciate the higher sockets, not having to get on your knees to plug in lol cheers TC Barry
HI TC, I'll do a little bit in the next video, as it will be eaasier to show than describe, got one coming up about the central heating next. many thanks Barry

Good work Barry, Things are so very different over there with power and air gaps etc.
