Need a power supply to install a security floodlight on the front of my house for the driveway. going to install a fused spur in my bedroom and drill through the wall for the floodlight, so i thought if i am going to the trouble of doing that, i might as well do a radial circuit and also add a double socket in my bedroom.

Replacing a faulty pull cord switch, it has been playing up for a while now, sometimes you need to pull it half a dozen times before it works.

A mac allister wood shredder/chipper. i have bought this to get rid of some branches i have removed from tree's in my garden, and for future intended work. It will make getting rid of the stuff far easier than cramming branches into my car to dispose of them.
tree pruning

A bit of DIY tree pruning, i had a back garden full of tree's which has already cost me in the region of £2,000 paying for professional tree guys to cut them down, just parted with £680 to remove to tree,s and he is quoting just under a £1,000 to top another one. So i have decided to do it myself.

The problem with these isolation valves, they can often start leaking from the screw when you turn them off and back on again.

omg, please don't do it again, you are too far from doing it right.
What I really needed to see is how to reassemble the valve: getting the o-ring in the correct place was not really obvious but I finally figured it out..that the o ring goes between the cone-shaped piece bigger side and the far inside of the valve body...
glad you figured it out, this was not one of my better videos, it was a bit of an after thought to do it lol
@@650GSF I often find that the very little thing that you need help with in a hurry is the very thing that no one covers....thanks for responding though..
A very informative video. Enjoyed.
Hiya, glad the video was of help to you,. i just noticed how long ago i made this video, god how time flies 😲
@@650GSFYeah, time goes and goes... The right blinker looks broken on my fathers GSF. It still works, but I will have to replace it. Drop by to check my content, you may like it. Cheers.
@@RRRRefuelRideRace i will take a look thanks.
@@650GSF Thanks Garry. Appreciate it.
Good job mate!
Thanks i thought it all went well. 🙂
Why would anyone make a video showing how they struggle with electrical work.
Well i have only just looked at the comments for the first time on this video clip, lots of negativity, i don't feel i struggled with it, and the socket and the flood light have been working perfectly since the day i completed the job. So that will do for me 🙂 and for those who asked no i am not an electrician.
That pin that goes in and out with the water level is making a buzzing sound on my toilet when flushing and seems to get stuck in when I flush, I was wondering if I can just replace the pin and is there a spring inside it that gives it its springness
Hi, no there is no spring inside it, it just has a rubber diaphragm, it is the water pressure that pushes the pin back out, you can take it apart and give it a clan, that might resolve the problem. If not these are very cheap to replace,
A truly crap piece of equipment ... They are fine when they are working but cheaply made .. Ive had 2 that have failed with the adjustment no longer working and the metal casing cracking on both ... Was only used in my own garden (not commercially) ..
I have seen a few people saying the adjustment runs out quite quickly, mine is still ok but it hasn't been worked to hard really, so far the only bad thing i would say against it, is about how noisy it is, you need ear defenders that's for sure.
Thanks for the video, perfectly explained.
One of my mates who is an electrician, says all you need to get an EV charging at 32amps is the following; He did also mention a UPS over an RCD as the voltage can still increase;;;; 32amp commando socket 3 pole isolated 40 amp 4mm twin and earth Y
If you did a 32 amp for an EV commando, would you do the same thing?
Hi, i don't really have the experience of EV to confidently give advice on what would be the right thing to do. Sorry i cant be any more helpful on this one.
@@650GSFNo problem, ignore my other comment that’s has just come through at the same time haha
Is the light IP rated?
Hi, i think the pull cord switch is IP rated, how ever my actual light fitting is not, i should change it really but have just not got round to doing it.
@@650GSF i have two black wires how do i know which is live thanks
@@MrRapez Hi, that's strange having two black wires, but you can either use a vault pen like i am doing in my video, with the power of pull the two wires away from each other, and then turn the power back on, hold the vault pen next to each wire, the one that peeps on the pen is the live, or a more accurate way would be to use a Multimeter put the black lead of the meter on the earth wire on the switch, and then use the red lead to test the two black wires, the meter will show a hi reading on the live wire.
@@650GSF sorry my mistake two red wires ive sorted it thanks
I swapped my ceiling pull cord light switch, making sure the wires were exactly the same, using photo.Now when turning light on, it turns two bedroom light on or off. The wires are three red, two twisted together, and one red in com, if the toilet light is off, the two bedrooms light's won't turn on 🤷 could it be a faulty ceiling switch? Thanks.
Thank you.
Perfect simple explanation, First realised I had a problem when water was running down the brickwork from the overflow pipe outside. I had the opposite issue - too high a water level in the toilet tank. Sure enough the water was spilling over into the overflow tube. I adjusted silver nut/screw as recommended. Thanks Garry!
Hi, glad my video was helpful, nice to be able to do these little simple jobs yourself and save a bit of money.
Please, for the love of god, tell me you're not an actual electrician.
This has to be a wind up. 😂
"Bog Standard" well played
Absolute torture watching this 😂 are you DIY or you doing this for a living
Hang in there. These valves are commonly wrongly described as an isolation valve in the plumbing industry. They are correctly known as a service valve, to allow short term tuning or replacement of other more properly pressure rated valve components, such as a gate valve, or lever valve. They can be handy but really not a great solution.
Why didn’t you strip the cable by pulling the cpc
Are you an electrician
I had a 2006 focus with same issues blew 2 turbos, ended up trading it in for a Prius Hybrid and covered over 300k in it with zero issues. Sorry Henry Ford I have lost my faith in the Ford Motor Company.
Ive got the same problem pal in my kitchen. By any chancebincan just apply a new fresh plasterboard over the old wall ?
Hello Garry! I just saw your pantry removal video & i noticed this was posted a few years back. IT'S KILLING ME THAT I CAN'T FIND AN UPDATE OF HOW YOU FINISHED OFF THE WALL & HOW MUCH BIGGER YOUR KITCHEN MUST BE NOW. WOULD YOU SAY THE KITCHEN WORKS MORE EFFICIENTLY NOW? Did you decide on upper & lower cabinets? i know you mentioned wanting to extra surface counter space. 100% agree. We're in the U.S. & oddly enough this is the biggest kitchen I've ever had. The home is 4 bdrm 2 bth about 2700 square feet. YET the builder or designer created a "Pantry" that's quite literally the size of a broom closet. 😂. Common sense would say anyone who needs 4 bedroom may need to FEED the people living in those bedroom. 😂 Anyway, GREAT JOB& WE WOULD ALL LOVE TO SEE AN UPDATE OF THE NEW LAYOUT. PLZ POST A VIDEO OR SOME PICTURES. PLZ& TY
I'm from the US, it's crazy seeing how well-made other countries houses are made. Here in Texas, there'd be some drywall, 2x4s, and maybe some insulation. Very insightful!
This is very useful thanks. I liked the way you point out the relevant parts when you mention their names and cover the really important stuff like not over tightening on the nuts on the pipework underneath the toilet. Most of the vids on here are for side entry filler systems so not relevant to me. The camerawork could have been in better focus ! However i did like the slower pace so its easier to follow what you are saying. On many other guidance vids the guys talk too fast, or try to crack too many jokes. Then its harder to follow the key points. Unfortunaltey all this was in vain in my particular case as the plastic nut under the toilet was far too tight and far too difficult to reach - due to the toilet bing fitted too close to the side wall. So i'll have to call a plumber and get the whole cistern replaced with a more modern side fed filler pipe. Many thanks anyway for putting this on UA-cam. I did learn some useful stuff !
You are going to either get black mould or damp now 😱😱😱
Nooo…Nooo, do not ever cover an air brick vent
i have one but not tried thick branches, I had a problem with not starting and found the hexagon screws in the front plate had come loose. The screws hit switches that isolate the machine. Just check now and again to make sure they are tight. (not overtight).
Great advice thank you!!
It's still there Gerry..
We have the same style pantry in our kitchen. Except we have a lintel above the door, which goes into the supporting wall next to it. I'll need to get it inspected, before carefully removing it. Good video.
This is the second one for the basement bat. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxOuLt8IL_GxhhaK8DBuKEL-zV0UJVpWZn , works great
Thank you Garry
Great job
Hi there i have fitted a side entry fill valve, there doesnt seem to be sealing washer on the inlet union pipe, is there supposed to be a fibre or rubber washer, it weeps a bit i have put a load of ptfe tape round ot, also when it fills up there is a horrible groaning noise for about 15 seconds.....any advice Please Fred in Essex.
You f*cked it mate.
How do you take out the black pin
They are called Cotter pins and they are tricky due to being made of plastic ! You need to pinch the end in with a pair of (pointed end) pliers and then pull !. Its not ideal. Ii wish the makers would use metal pins instead of plastic. Its the same with parts under the engine bonnet on your car. The makers just want to use whatever is chepest for them without thinking of the needs of the end user !
Very good explanation !
Does anyone know if the blades can be removed for sharpening? I would think that after a while the blades would start to dull a bit as with most shredders. Cheers.
Wow, nice job! I'm getting ready to redo our kitchen pantry, too. Im in the US, I cant believe all that breeze block, first time Ive seen that! Cant believe you were able to do get it out. Great!Off topic, but I love that brick by the bike!
It will not flow out the cistern if it fills too much! The water will escape through the siphon bottle and into the toilet. That is why there is no visible overflow apparent.
very good video, thanks for ur time , god bless u
Is it still working my einhell was quieter I think Does it dismantle for winter with little tools
You blades are not set. Turn the blue knob . You can see the wood is snaking through into the clear bi
Hi can I drive my ford ka without a thermostat?
Great vid, I wasted hours not being able to adjust the screw enough to make the water stop. Once I saw you explain about the use of a screw driver on the end of the black pin I sorted it in 5 mins. Should have watched your vid first!!
Thanks, my over flow pipe was leaking and I think I've just fixed it by tightening the screws on the arm of the float, saving the cost of a plumber and metered water bill!
I'm on my 3rd machine in less than a month. First one was great proper little chomper but then the thread on the counter plate blade stripped and jammed so couldnt undo it I took it back to SF and the staff member was fantastic. Offered me a refund or a replacement no trouble at all orbeit I was s little concerned the same thing may happen again as the bolt just isn't strong enough. I took the replacement as I still had work to do. I took the replacement and literally 20 minutes into working the adjuster knob stopped turning and jammed... I was so frustrated as the machine really does a great job at shredding. I took the machine back two days later and again explained what had happened. The staff on this occasion couldn't have been any different. The assistant looked at me as if I'd done it deliberately and question how it had happened. She hadn't git s clue how the thing worked but clearly thought I'd done it deliberately. I asked if I could have one from another batch as possibly this batch had a simple fault of a dodgy bolt. But I was informed she had no idea how the batch system worked. I really didnt want another only to bring it hack again in s week or so with the same issue but still has 6 conifers to take down. Eventually she brought a replace6to the counter and opened it up before I even agreed to take it. She then insisted on checking the counter blade knob showing me it worked before I took it... I'm only hoping now the same thing dont happen again and gave even purchased a replacement m10 bolt from another supplier as I just done feel the bolt supplied I'd upto the job... Any one else had this problem???
This makes me hesitant to buy it. But I haven't seen any better for the price
There's a video on you tube about this
Yay Thankyou after faffing about all morning watching other videos which didn’t show the right valve I’ve got. I found yours I was about to throw my girlie spinners out my pram and yay I’ve done it. Thankyouuuuuuuu
I must be doing something wrong, mine tends to crush instead of shred, I'm assuming you can use freshly cut material, thinking now I should have went for the spinning blade type, they are more expensive.
They roll and crush can adjust
