thanks for the discussions, 1, there should be RCD in the main switch box and I don't have it, is it correct? if so I will find an electrician to install one, is it an expensive work? 2, even though the small separate RCD box for SWA is off (I can lock by someone suggested above), but it is still not safe, I need to physically disconnect the cable inside the box, is that correct? thanks, always good to learn something new

Here is what I can see inside RCD, likely the "sockets in the extension" is something controlling the small RCD in the right of this RCD. Also there is a CM below the "kitchen sockets" i have no idea what does it mean

I believe there was no shed at the point, but there was a shed quite far away from the end of the cable. The cable is now just on the ground! Actually, there is another cable from the garage for the garden light, but I plan to change it to 12v for safety reasons. This one might be used in the future. But how can I keep it safe, share I contact it to something like a deadend? The tape seems not durable.

thanks Nick. The issue is that the storage room is used a lot and not convenient to lock, sometimes even kept open. How sure are you that the switch is for the garden cable?

Hello, I found a cable in my garden, the end is enclosed by tape without connection anything/pls see the pic. Seems the cable is from my house and I went to the main switches and there is a residual current device, the cable below seems the same as the one I found in my garden - the switch is off. Can anyone tell if this could be the switch for the cable? I should never switch on the cable if it is, especially considering children playing in the garden. meanwhile, the switch box and the circuits are in a storage room, the door typically closed but could be open by my child, the main issue is the switch is very low (50cm from ground), is there any potential safety issues? I was thinking to make a wooden box to cover it, it is better? thanks

thank you both. I will try it, I tried to use the hair dryer, but it seems not to be working. I may have to smash all the glasses and remove the putty

I want to replace the garage glass as you can see it is broken, but it is hard to remove the sealant, hard like concrete. can anyone tell me how to remove it to replace the glass? Also when I search, most of the products available online are plastic instead of glass. Has anyone used that and are there any issues? thanks

Hi, can anyone suggest how to solve the problems in the ceiling? There are some tiny cracks. I checked in the loft, and it seems there are no issues with the timbers and no leakage from the top. I assume wallpaper is used?

Thank you a lot. How about the stones going to drop in the future? will it make the painting off and looks bad as well?

My house wall is roughcasted. I want to paint it white to make it look better, is that a good idea? How about the stone chips keep falling? The roughcast seems to be deteriorating. If I put my hand on the surface and press a bit, I can see some stones fall.

thanks a lot

There is no holes, it works fine just worry that one day it will be totally blocked or leaked.

Thank you for your suggestions! It is a way that only replace the part about the ground and the part under seems connected with the sewage system, it could be a big project?

My metal downpipe is rusty. Do you have any suggestions for solving the problem? If maintained well, how many years can this pipe be used before replacing it?

thanks Andy. I think it is quite difficult to change the cable and the cable is quite thick! so change the lights might be a good idea I plan to have 3 lights (5 watts/each?) with a potential extension of another 3 in the future, something like below, any suggestions about the transformer and the lamppost? When i try to find online, most of them are with cables and fixed-length plug-ins, which I can't use. Can I buy the transformer and the posts separately?
