What would you chaps use to extend the wires of a double socket? I am thinking ahead and thinking that if the there is not much slack for when i go out approx 65mm from old wall i may not have enough to extend the sockets onto the new Plasterboard!
Well you might use nowt if you can get a hold of some. Not seen it in the shops for ages, might be sold out or production has ceased. Or make up some of your own, its easy enough!
Not sure how reliable those are. You want something that's not going to fail or work loose in future, hence "maintenance free". Or this, the Wagobox, with the appropriate connectors http://www.screwfix.com/p/wagobox-junction-box/7355f
Well, nearly got all bits for wall. Some deliveries tomorrow and hopefully start! Depends if the tanalised timber is dry when delivered as it is normally soaking wet!! Will have to let it dry out thoroughly otherwise!
Well, had all the stuff delivered today. Started to batten the wall. Some of the wood is wet so got to let it dry out thoroughly first before putting insulation in! Dont want rot etc coming along later! Wood is tanalised. I will take some pics as i progress and post on here
I bought Easydrive concrete screws. 7.5mm. Drilled hole 6mm in wall and through batten obviously. My cordless 18v Bosch combi drill would only put the screws in 70%. Fully charged etc. I had to use my ordinary 'wired' drill to finish putting them in! I guess this is where an Impact driver would help? That would power it in? Not that i am going to buy one! lol
Buy a 6.5mm diameter drill bit (Hilti to do them), re drill holes, should go in easier on the thread.
Bought the recommended drill bit on the box. 6.5 would be too big. Screws are 100mm. All done now anyway guys:
I will. Elec sockets next. Got to wait for timber to dry out properly too. Its almost bone dry now. I use a moisture meter on it.
Hoping to sort out electric sockets this weekend then the following weekend insulate between battens and plasterboard! Some of the timber is showing 30% moisture so got to wait for it to dry out. Probably around 14% would be right
