Split the supply and added another consumer unit / circuits for all the a new equipment being installed for this flourishing business – including a new cold store + food prep area.

Electric Heating

Penzance Cornwall – staying and working at a lovely cottage, installing electric heating. Removed the off peak supply and re-configured it to single rate 24 hour, converting all the storage heater points to single sockets and fitting Heat Electric – http://www.heatelectric-uk.com/ water filled radiators that give off the same heat as gas central heating.

Not only are they the most comfortable of heat , they are also the most efficent form of electric heating on the market – rather than using Oil or convectors which run at full power then switch on / off they use an element to heat and a pump to circulate the hot water around the radiator. Fully controllable from wireless programmer. Built in Wainstalls Halifax – some great British manufacturing going on here!

Through the keyhole at the renovation project before work begins

The old dear has gone into care

Looks like someone’s already had a good rummage

What’s left in it for me? £750 worth of rubbish to get rid of! Waste is becoming just another part of the hefty budget when it comes to renovating.

3 Bedroom Home ripe for renovation

it’s a bit like snakes and ladders buying property – from 2 beds to 1beds to 2 beds to underdwellings then back up and then back down then up and now to a 3 bed – life is a rollercoaster with lots of ups and downs – a bit like a ski lift attendant’s job.

3 bed house, there isn’t a straight wall or right angle in the place – 44 down lights – not one missed or a timber joist in sight through the holes. Intelligent fans installed – a must for LABC approved buildings – with all the modern forms of DPC and insulation the air / moisture needs to go somewhere.

The importance of testing and inspecting – blow dry or blow fry?

A customer was using this socket to dry her hair up until I removed the cover – imagine the hairstyle she would be sporting had it gone on for much longer?
