    New CU for Garage and potential EV charger in future

    Hi There I am looking for some advice regarding having power run to my separate garage. Firstly I just wondered if its possible to have a new CU installed in my garage which is connected directly to the electric meter rather than connecting this to the existing CU. The reason for this is that the electric meter outside is within 5 meters of the garage and running a cable from the existing CU would be difficult as it is located near the center of the house and would struggle to get an outdoor cable to it without significant work. Secondly, would I be able to have an EV charger connected to this new garage CU or would that also need another feed from the meter. I will of course get a qualified person to perform the job if I go ahead but just looking into whats possible at the moment. Thank you!

    Should I leave the upstairs windows open?

    How risky is it to leave an upstairs bedroom open when no one is home during the day time? Do burglars try and enter upstairs windows very often or is this an unlikely occurrence? The bedrooms can get very warm during the day especially in the summer months unless a window is kept open.

    Creeking Laminate Flooring

    I got herringbone laminate flooring laid about six months ago on a concrete subfloor with polystyrene bubble underlay. I need to get the creeking sound fixed that I was told would settle by time but it hasn't settled at all. It was leveled as much as possible before laying it down. I don't know if it could be the underlay being too thin or the type of the underlay as it has good reviews online designed for uneven subfloor. Can this be fixed without damaging the laminate flooring?
