I bought a Power Meter model 9149 from the Lidl store in Fuengirola
today. Instructions are in Spanish - "naturally". Normally I can
handle that, but in this case there's too much to digest.

In short I need an English language instruction sheet.
Can't find the manufacturer, Lidl Espana ain't interested -
"naturally".

Can some kind guy out there help me out, fax me a copy, or send as an
attachment to an email? Just a Xerox type copy - please !! ??

John Hewitt, Malaga, Spain

can't help you there, but do you know how much it should cost to re-wire a 4
bedroom townhouse in spain. I've had a quote for 4,300 euros for our place
in Antequera - about 4 time what it would cost be at home - about 8 times if
I did it myself.

Unfortunately I have no scanner however I do have a coolbox to steady
my camera on so hopefully these will do:

http://www.newtonnet.co.uk/temporary/9149/

(3 x JPEGs, 2272x1074 (be careful of IE6 shrinking them to fit!),
brightened and (re)compressed to ~600KB each)

I've also put the originals there so you can play about with them as
you wish - they're ~1.6MB each so whilst I don't know what bandwidth
you've got my upload is 384kbps so will be limited to this anyway.

Hope this helps!

Thank you for the offer Dave. B4 you do that, I got a very readable
copy from Sr Newton [ see this thread ], so I am now able toset the
meter up.
Thank you very much for your offer.

Thank you very much for the info, it was quite readable and did the
trick! I appreciate your help - and if I can reciprocate ...don't
hesitate.

Today, thanks to public pressure [ and not any generosity on the part
of my ISP ] my ADSL speed was upped to 1M/312 at no cost: we are still
way behind the UK though in Bits for the buck!
Thus getting your info was speedy.
[ Can you point me to a mini / idiot proof tutorial that would explain
how you set that file up for me to dload? ]

Hard to answer without seeing the house, [ size, state of repair, etc]
location and other variables..
i.e.
1. Assume that it's a masonry building with existing surface wiring.
Then plastic conduits would have to be embedded in the walls / floors
and then re finished, or....

2. Lots of cowboys here - mostly Brits.

3. We have a wild building boom here, every one has work and prices of
everything have gone out of sight.

4. Thus few folks want 'small' jobs [ they want new house and Apt
blocks to work on ]

5. You are there, 'they' here, makes a big difference.

In general though, you instincts are correct, it sounds very high,
especially for Antequera, which is way inland.

FYI I suspect that an electricista here gets appx €15.00 per hour, you
can figger the rest out.

You're welcome - glad it was of use.

I run a webserver on a server connected 24/7 - specifically the Apache
webserver (on a Linux box however there is a Win32 version) - further
info at http://httpd.apache.org/. It's the most common webserver in use
on the Internet hence there's plenty of tutorials/HowTos etc. A spot of
Googling is probably your best bet...
