I got my RAC renewal quote this morning. 306 sovs :eek:. They said its gone up slightly because blah blah blah. Slightly = 72%.
I always ring them up before renewing, and get a better deal. But - I just got a like for like quote from the AA, 135 sovs. I think I'll be going with them. I've been with the RAC for 50 years. I don't think I'll be with the AA that long, but who knows? 😂
Spoke to a nice chap at the RAC this morning. Got my renewal for 150 sovs. Happy with that :D
 
The new loft ladder is in. My goodness what a mess they made. :(
They didn't put any floor protection down and smashed out lath & plaster and trod it in everywhere. :(
We have had a right mess to clean up.
But the thing is in and it is an improvement (but much steeper than the old ladder (which surprises me).
The access hatch is >1.5 times longer so you don't smash your back into the hole as you ascend/descend at least. :)
I could probably have done a better job of it myself back in the day, but I'm a bit past it now. :D

There really is no need to make such a mess, that really gets my back up. Got pics of your new set up I may look at doing this
in me garage. Ive got a metal set of stairs but looking at them they are quite bulky & they take up a permeant space.
 
Morning All. :D
Cool & Damp (and that's just me) weather's about the same. :)
Woken up with gout in the right Big toe (1st joint) very painful walking on it indeed. :(
Chippies are here to remake a newer/bigger loft hatch & and a new drop down ladder.
Have a Marvelous Monday. :D
Massive sympathy for the gout. Get on top of it as soon as possible. I left it rather late!
 
Right...
Any electrickery hexperts give me some advice?
Running little LED lights around me truck for xmas, bit like the Coca Cola truck.
Can I use normal 2 core cable same as Landy side lights to feed them? About 20 lights each side

Yup you'll be fine with doing that. Is it insured for fire n theft. 🤣
 
It’s a ring but each socket is a spur. But they normally run it horizontally around the room just below the ceiling with junction boxes :oops:, not in our house.
But (the bit I hate) neutral and earth are the same, some don’t even run earths to outlets.
There just isn’t room in the socket boxes for a full ring, well there is (I did it to start with) but it’s so tight and hard I gave up.

Today was basically 2 outlets on single wires to 1 fuse. Immersion to its own, lights on a ring as we have UK light roses we brought over (yep they don’t have them here)

As we are isolated and run on solar I installed a ground mat for the earth, to mutch stone for a earth steak all external metal is grounded for lightning hits as we have copper gutters
