    Loft Header Tank

    Hi, My small loft header tank in the loft is overflowing when the hot water/heating is switched on. It’s fine when the heating/water are off, but starts up again when it comes on again. It started with a few drips a few weeks ago to a slow flow now, which lasts for about 10-15 minutes when the heating/water initially comes on and then stops dripping again. Any ideas?

    Electrical Extension - To Shed

    Hoping to get power into a garden shed. I have need of temporarily getting power to the shed for power tools as and when needed - i.e not on any regular basis. Not on a permanent basis. I can run an extension cable outside to the shed, and intend to put a trailing lead socket into a weatherproof ext cover which then connects through the shed into a Metal Clad USB Switched Socket (13A 2 Gang)...my intention would be to wire the tag end of the trailing cable into the switched socket - which is connected to the trailing cable socket in the ext weatherproof cover - which would receive power from an extension lead connected from the house itself. This is setup this way to avoid trip hazards/extension cables running across a shed floor. Is this feasible ? Anything connected to the switched sockets would be on an RCD adaptor.

    Hey! I've read that I could station aesthetically pleasing baskets around my house for decorating. Do you have any recommendations as to what specific types of baskets I could use? And how can I ensure they will be safe? I guess keep them away from candles and electrics?
