Onoff

I did floor first then protected the floor with Correx. I then used a homemade tile levelling system to place the second tile up. For the bottom tile I turned it over, placed it on 1mm packers and marked the cut line with the laser. When you turn it back it's bang on: (I should add I can't tile to save my life! Up until then the wall boarding was all perfectly square 😂).

That's b***ocks. Floor first, right up to the wall. Then bring the wall tiles down onto them with a 1mm gap. Seal with CT1, wipe flush. When set put a silicone bead on which you can periodically replace. A Welsh wizard once told me that.

It's reassuringly expensive too. First coat covers bare wood. Give it 3 like it says on the tin and it just lasts.

Black, satin, Bedec barn paint, to do the rest of that wood 👌

Yep, top bolt will fail first I'll bet. Ask the next chubster family that rocks up to try a "good" bench with the offer of free doughnuts. Maybe set up a wildlife camera to look at the bolts...

Edge distance issue that imo.

You could go smashed hardcore, then a bag of Type 1 or 2, a weed fabric to retain the soil then the soil.

If intent on filling it then there's very likely to be an offer of free hardcore local to you. Are all those slabs around it being scrapped? If so, smash or drill drainage holes in the bottom then heave any unwanted slabs, bricks, tiles etc in. Smash with a club hammer.

You could think about a big, rainwater storage tank in that ready dug hole. That's what I'd be doing. Cover in a concrete slab or planks. Astro turf.

In all seriousness I do feel your pain.

So if they're not paying rent & you can't pay the mortgage or evict them, what happens?

So grout coloured?

Double check he hasn't put a ring neutral in a lighting circuit RCBO and vice versa.

Traditional light switch wiring in new colours: Then you've intermediate switch wiring and loop at switch wiring where there's a neutral block in the back box. https://flameport.com/electric/lighting_circuits/lighting_loop_at_switch.cs4

I think you'll find some of what you think are neutrals are in fact black, switched lives (that should have red sleeving on them). Only old book I could find with light switches in the old colours:

So on that board you have the orange surge protector, aka SPD on the far right. Then the double pole isolator. To the left is an MCB that is there likely just for the SPD. To the left of that a line of RCBOs. Inside it'll look something like this. Each RCBO should feed a separate circuit. Generally the twin and earth cable comes in at the top on each RCBO. Neutral on the left, line (live) on the right. In the case of a ring main you'll have two neutrals on the left, two lives on the right (sometimes 3 in each) There is just one neutral bar. Each RCBO has a blue fly lead that goes to the neutral bar. All the earths (aka CPCs) go to the earth bar. Check as aforementioned the neutrals on top are in the correct RCBO.

They are RCBOs, a combination of an MCB and RCD.

Guessing maybe you have a new board something like this? On the far right is the double pole isolator switch. Next is an RCD that provides earth leakage protection fed from the 3 MCBs next to it. Further to the left another RCD protecting 2 MCBs / circuits. See the three neutral bars at the top? There should be no links between them. Furthermore, the incoming circuit cabling: If you have two circuits fed from the two MCBs on the left, the circuits neutral wires should go to the far left neutral bar. Anything fed from the 3 MCBs, then those circuits neutral wires should go to the central neutral bar.

The "electrician" should have carried out initial verification works and a series of tests before fitting a new board. There should then be a Schedule Of Tests recording this. Adding any RCD or RCBO to existing faulty circuits make this sort of tripping likely. An old circuit without such protection can work for years with faults that don't manifest themselves until said devices are installed. https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Book/8.3.2.htm

First tub above had 4, no hope, pecked to bits butternut squash plants in. Now: I'll be after some woman's tights soon.
