    Ok, next one. I read talk of a third party wireless access point. Does this just plug into my new switch via a patch lead and give it some juice ( extra mains socket required ?). Also, if correct, recommendations please? Looks like : VM router stays downstairs ( shortest primary cable from ISP ). Cat 6 from there to new 1st floor switch using port 1 of VM box. Port 2 and 3 of VM box to living room smart tv and blue ray. Port 4 to Internet printer all in one in dining room. New switch to to feed all data points upstairs plus 1 x WAP. Cat 6 throughout.

    Cheers. I'll get the cat 6 outlets for the attic today so that rooms 'done', and use tidy patch cables to interconnect. Im also chucking in a mid room data point for when he's a bit older and wants a desk and a laptop / PC.

    Are the cat6 faceplates different to cat5? Likewise, I see cat6 patch panels too.

    Depends on how much chilli powder you put in, of course

    They work on any cable tbh, so agree, a good gadget for 'Justin'. .

    I've got one if you want me to chuck it in the post for a lend? You just plug the generator bit into the socket and take the wand across the bundle to pick it out. Confirmation is by shorting the cable out ( I cut slowly through with a side cutters until the tone stops, indicating you 100% have the right cable ).

    One for bedside cabinet and another adjacent to bed for when he's sitting up in bed with whatever device is nearly flat as usual.

    Fitted the 47mm boxes I had, and ordered 2 of these as it meant pressing my iPhone 4 times and they then come through my door. Just about all the energy I can muster at the moment. Off to buy some Leyland High Opactiy paint and blast it all over the pink stuff. Skirting them second fix electrics, then search my phone for a mate to help fit the carpet. Almost there. ?

    At 9:30 last night I scraped the floors and keeled over. Was at it from 07:00 and I'll admit I was less than concerned about housekeeping after laying 5 bags of multi in 24oC heat. Having your entire tool repertoire in the house really helps too. In between laying on sets I'm still fitting studs and boards down the stairwell ? Down there to get cabled and boarded with handrail. Ho ho ho my arse. ?? Pub later, need one for my sanity.

    Only Achilles heel with those double sockets with multiple USB outlets is the one shared PSU I opted for two single sockets with single 2.1a USB outlets so my boy cannot plug an iPod and and iPad into the same PSU and cook it .

    Just checked the bank. Soldering iron is coming out later and I'm hooking up the original ones for January. F@@@ it, only so much I can do. In 4 weeks this went from rockwool and junk to this Not bad considering I kept regular job going as well. Has a good mate help in evenings and weekends. Bribed sufficiently ???? Back to sanding ??????

    It took me an hour last night to work out where one USB socket was going. ? OCD is your enemy sometimes. Onoffs bathroom should be a masterpiece tbh, and I'm only grouchy 'cos I finished skimming at gone 9pm last night and am sanding it all ready for caulk and paint this morning. Kids ( x4 ) keep up moral by continuously popping in and asking if it's done yet and then walking off leaving little trails of pink footprints through the house as a gift for swmbo to resolve. Done about a dozen Henry bags in already ? Anyhoo, back to baths, bogs and the mini blog. ?

    I know most laminates and veneers can be made at least 10' / 3m so don't assume any size is unavailable I used to get sheets made for shop fitting which were 10' laminate sheets made from an 8'x4' sheet plus a 2' rip ( which were biscuit jointed together before the whole thing being glued and pressed ). Always ask what's available ?

    Very expensive kite you've built there

    1) PMSL 2) They're chunky ok, but usually like a cheap internal door. A few strips of pine and all mdf / hardboard covered. Solid wood obviously would be as such.
