Yes they're connected to an external socket with a spur. In terms of my above proposal of daisy chaining them - is that feasible

I've had a set of 3 lights up for a few days and so far so good. The app is great and no problems yet. I did get them for £30 rather than £120 RRP so no major loss if it stops working.

Oh really? How so?

Hi I have two sets of 3 garden lights as shown in the attached image and 1 singular garden light. Each set of lights has a mains plug at the end of it. I would like to connect all 7 lights to one circuit by daisy chaining them. They are all connected via these T connectors: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Waterproof-Junction-Outdoor-Connector-External/dp/B091CJWCLL My plan is to connect them together via a 2.5mm twin and earth armored cable. I would remove the mains plug as it would be redundant. My question is the current cable is only twin (live and neutral) but I only have twin and earth armored cable. What would I do with the earth? Does this sound like a feasible DIY job? Thanks

Others have done porch builds on our street. Some within the permitted 3m2 and others a bit larger. Don't think anyone has put a toilet in theirs though

Hi yeah that's right. We were just given an estimate based on 3m x 3m but likely will go a bit smaller. Something like 3 x 2. We just need to find an architect to put some drawings together as we'll need to apply for planning permission.

So I'm looking at getting a 3x2 porch extension and a builder suggested to put a toilet there too. Having spoken to my mate he also said it's a good idea and I should look at removing my new front door so the porch will flow into the living room. It seems like an odd idea having a toilet there but we don't have a downstairs one currently so it would be a good thing to have. Also removing the front door would be strange and would need to do some work with the threshold to make it the same level throughout. Has anyone had any experience with this? Just looking for feedback and if it's something worth doing. I've been quoted 10k for a 3x3 porch without the toilet. It includes a pitched roof and all materials (double skin) except a new front door and floor tiles.

I have the two boxes that are attached to the wall. The WiFi router is plugged into the modem My WiFi does have spare ethernet ports but I thought for better performance it would be better to bypass the router and connect to the modem directly. However I only have one ethernet port on the modem hence I thought to buy a switch. The Wifi can be plugged into the switch and I can purchase another ethernet cable to run from the switch to the back room. That's my idea anyway...

It's a Linksys SPNMX56 I'd need to run an ethernet cable to the middle of the room and that's not a viable option right now I have a WiFi extender and I'm still not getting good connectivity in the back room

Dave, I've uploaded a picture. Are you able to see if it's been installed a 2 zones?

The problem is the Nest was in the dining area and that's a cold spot. So I was finding the living room was getting really warm whilst trying to warm the dining room. I've since moved the Nest to the living room and now the dining area is quite cold. That's why I want to install another Nest so I can control the dining area separately. I don't know how to adjust flow rates. If it's a better option than installing a second Nest I'm all for it. It'll definitely be cheaper.

I have attached the bottom rail of the manifold. 2 x L1 is what I imagine the two zones to be and is controlled by one Nest OF is the office which is controlled by the Salus KIT is the kitchen where the installer ran some pipework via a back wall in case I want to put UFH there in the future. This is not in use.

I've just signed up to Community Fibre and the modem was installed under the stairs along with the WiFi router. I'm now getting a severe dead spot at the back of my house. I'd like to run a cable under the stairs alongside the external wall (semi detached) and into the back room Eventually I would want a wired connection to my laptop and then a Wifi access point My research so far has found I need a network switch that I would connect to my CF modem - https://amzn.eu/d/fBnhlB2 I can then plug in the mesh CF WiFi router into the network switch (??) I would then run an ethernet cable from the network switch to the back room I would need to fit an ethernet wall socket into the back room and connect the other end of the ethernet cable to the socket Are those steps correct? I'm unsure on the type of ethernet cable to get i.e. how would I connect it to the wall socket? Below is a picture of my CF setup Thanks

I think I meant heat engineer rather than plumber! Sure will take a picture in the morning. Don't want to wake the kids up by making a racket under the stairs! 🤣

Hi I had UFH installed a couple of years ago and the installer laid the pipes in a way that the living room and dining room could operate as two zones. At the time however I decided that I would like one Nest controlling both zones just to see how it gets on. A couple of years on I now would like to have the dining room controlled by it's own Nest. I've spoken to a couple of plumbers and I'm not sure if they are understanding my requirement. From the pipework picture below I can see the dining room has it's pipes laid separately to the living room. However I'm unsure if what I'm seeing is in fact two separate zones. Am I making sense? If so is there an easier way for me to word the requirement to the plumber Thanks
