Literally just now the heater in my office stopped working so i thought well its a closed unit so all i can do is change the fuse so i swapped out the 13 am fuse and hey presto its working again

I would give it a try with the help of youtube.

youtube is brilliant for diy stuff. I drilled a 12" hole in the house outside to inside wall and run electricity cable through and out into the garden using youtube - mainly to make sure i did not drill through gas pipes, water pipes and kill myself via a shock

I have back in the day.
But everything comes with the plug on now.
Besides...hubby enjoys stuff like that.

Wouldn't that be the forgotten skill then?

The one you describe is still being learned.

Yes I'd say. Just like looking in bushes for porn mags. This lot on here would not know the first thing about that dark art of the 70s

I often wondered who the hell left them there...my guess...paper boys. Thieving little ****s...


But yes, many a hole has been drilled as a lucky adventurous teenager who liked building swings or looking for cheggies.

You can rap a blown fuse in aluminium foil and it will work again, hand if you haven’t got a new fuse.
