OK so all the plumbing apart from some microbore buried in the walls is
stripped out. Radiators in fair order stacked on a pallet ready for scrap or? Today's questions:- What do people do with unwanted glass fibre insulation? Too chimbled up to sensibly re-use. What was the consensus on mixing wire colours for alterations? Most of the existing (red/black) runs over timbers which the builders need to remove. I intend to isolate, coil back to the retained structure and label the circuits. A full re-wire is probably best but the existing might serve to pull in new stuff. Does anyone have a use for a 22 year old, little used, gas fired Rayburn Royal cooker? (not CH) -- Tim Lamb |

Would make good hardcore. Buyer to collect." People don't pay to place these ads, so they are often a tad over-optimistic. |

People will often take such stuff away. I have never failed. |

Anyway, what do you do with unreusable glassfibre insulation? |

Today's questions:- What do people do with unwanted glass fibre insulation? Too chimbled up to sensibly re-use. Dump. No one wants mouse crap and dust filled compacted glass wool. What was the consensus on mixing wire colours for alterations? Non issue if a wanring sign is affixed to the consumer unit. Most of the existing (red/black) runs over timbers which the builders need to remove. I intend to isolate, coil back to the retained structure and label the circuits. A black Sharpie pen works super well on T+E cable. A full re-wire is probably best but the existing might serve to pull in new stuff.

More dangerous than radioactive waste. -- Truth welcomes investigation because truth knows investigation will lead to converts. It is deception that uses all the other techniques. |

Nothing wrong with mixing colours - just put the appropriate warning notice at the CU that wiring colours are mixed, and use sleeving as appropriate (particularly on 2-way switch circuits). Does anyone have a use for a 22 year old, little used, gas fired Rayburn Royal cooker? (not CH) Not personally, but sometimes they do seem to get good prices on ebay etc. Owain |

Today's questions:- What do people do with unwanted glass fibre insulation? Too chimbled up to sensibly re-use. Bag it up and lob it in a skip... What was the consensus on mixing wire colours for alterations? No problem generally. The installation ought to have a sticker near the CU warning of mixed colours. Most of the existing (red/black) runs over timbers which the builders need to remove. I intend to isolate, coil back to the retained structure and label the circuits. A full re-wire is probably best but the existing might serve to pull in new stuff. It they are in good condition there is no reason to not reuse them if they are in the right places.
