[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 401384, member: 1607"] This is a very good point and highlights the tricky bit of giving advice on a forum. but even then some people could have different guidance for the same problem just because of whose doing it. How about a hypothetical situation to think about: Some minor alterations to a lighting circuit with the typical mess up with switched lives and two way switching and loop wires at fitting, including an extractor fan switched from the light supply in a downstairs toilet. None of it Part P notifiable, assume RCD's & MCB's appropriate to the circuit are already present. First person, a DIY homeowner doing the work in his own house. Second person, a helpful neighbor or family relative doing the work free of charge to help someone out who's living alone on low income. Third person, a DIY unqualified home handyman charging to do the work. Fourth person, a Landlord doing the work in one of his rented properties before new tenants come in. All four could come onto the forum asking exactly the same question, should the forum help all of them, none of them, some of them or not? Doc H. [/QUOTE]
