Laying an underground conduit

Conduit has many different uses and applications. As a homeowner, you may want to install an empty conduit pipe underground. For example, you may have a garage or workshop that is not at the house, but at the other end of your property.

You may not have enough power in the garage and need to run an empty conduit underground to improve the power supply in your garage.

If you run the conduit underground, it won't be visible and you can preserve the aesthetics of your home. An empty conduit also provides protection from cars on the driveway and from nature's elements.

Obtain a permit

If you're installing an empty conduit underground, you'll likely need to obtain a permit from your local municipality or city government. Go to your local municipality's building and ask for the building permit department or code enforcement department. You may need to make an application and submit it to the municipality before you can begin your work.

Dig a trench

Use a shovel to dig a trench between the two locations where you want to install the conduit. For example, if you want to run the conduit between the house and the garage, dig the trench between these two locations. Before digging, make sure you have marked the location and direction of the conduit. The last thing you want is to have to dig the trench again. Leave the excess soil on the side of the trench.

Mark the entry points and drill

At both ends of the conduit, you will need to run the wires inside the structures. Mark the location where you want to insert the empty conduit and drill a few small holes. Pound the holes with a sledgehammer (for concrete). This will break up the concrete and allow you to expose the area for the conduit. You will need to do this at both ends (for example, at your house foundation and also at the garage).

Laying the empty conduit

Lay the empty conduit with the wires inside the trench, from one end to the other. If your course is not straight, you may need to use pipe benders to bend the pipe in the desired direction.

Lay the empty pipe up to the control panel

Once the conduit is laid, run it to the control panels at both ends of the conduit. Connect the wires according to the manufacturer's specifications and building code requirements.

Filling the trench

Backfill the trench with the loose soil you originally excavated. Make sure the soil is evenly backfilled both under and over the electrical lines. Smooth the area and seed the grass or replace the gravel so that the landscape looks like it did before.

Natalie Jones and the Golden Ship

Part 1/? - A Meeting at the Palace

I’m going to regret this, but this is the sequel to Natalie Jones and the Stone Knight.  The Committee for the Appraisal of Archaeological Peril are given their first proper job - looking after a possibly-cursed mummy.  As it turns out, though, the three-thousand-year-old corpse of Princess Sitamun is going to be the least of their problems...

It was a rainy day in September when the committee for the Appraisal of Archaeological Peril met for the second time at Buckingham Palace.

It was a very informal meeting, but then, their first official gathering, two months earlier, had been pretty informal, too.  They were an ad hoc department, with no regalia, no buildings, no documents, and no particular qualifications for membership other than having been at the Battle of the Tower and the Queen liking you.  There’d been some hints that this new meeting would resolve at least some of these deficiencies, but Natasha Romanov – who for the past few years had been calling herself Natalie Jones and saw no reason to stop now – hoped not too many.  The last thing she wanted was to be part of the pomp and bombast of proper British government.

A valet took her car at the end of the Mall, and two guards escorted her through the sea of tourists’ umbrellas and opened the gate for her.  There, she was just in time to meet a second member of the Committee – Dr. Sam Wilson, their medical expert.  He grinned and waved to her.

“Natalie!” he said.  “How’ve you been?”

“Not bad!”  Nat gave him a quick hug, and then both, with the guards, hurried across the sprawling pavement towards the palace steps.  “I’m still working in the archaeology department at Dundee,” she told him, raising her voice as thunder rumbled overhead.  “I’ve noticed my students are much more polite this year!” Her deeds at the Battle of the Tower, and her past as a Soviet spy, had been international news that summer.

Once on the palace porch the rain could no longer reach them.  Nat took down the hood of her jacket, and Sam pulled his hat off.

“What are you up to?” she asked, as the doormen let them inside.

“I’m working at Raptor Rescue near Eccleshall,” he replied.

“Good for you,” Nat nodded.  “Do the birds complain?”

“Like you wouldn’t believe,” said Sam.  “I thought people were whiny, but no – and the bigger the bird, the more of a baby they are.  There was this Golden Eagle, we named her Margo, who swore up and down that she was dying when all she had was an infected talon.  We amputated the toe and gave her some antibiotics, and she’s back in the wild now.”

“That’s wonderful,” Nat said, smiling warmly as she gave her wet jacket to a butler.  She would be the first to admit that her sense of empathy was badly stunted, but even to her there was something heartwarming about Sam not only getting to talk to birds like Sir Sigurd in the fairy tale, but finding a useful application for it.

The butler took their jackets away, and another man in a uniform entered the red-carpeted foyer.  “Sir Samuel? Lady Natalie?” he asked, startling two people who were more used to being addressed as ‘Doctor’.  “Her Majesty is waiting for you.  If you would come with me, please.”

They climbed a flight of stairs with an ornate, scrolling gilded railing, and followed a hallway lined with mirrors and elaborate candelabras.  Halfway down this they stopped outside a set of carved wooden doors, where three more Committee members were waiting.

These were good friends as far as Natasha and Sam were concerned, and there were more hugs and handshakes as everybody exchanged greetings.  Detective Inspector Sharon Carter was still working for the police in Inverness.  Sir Stephen of Rogsey spent most of his time there, too, in order to be close to Sharon while he took online courses to catch up on the science and history he’d missed while being turned to stone for a thousand years.  The third individual with them was a man in his sixties, short and a little overweight, with blue eyes and shaggy graying hair.   He smiled and raised a hand to greet Natasha first.

“Hi, Ginger Snap!” he said.

“Hi, Dad!”  Nat went up to hug him, too – he held her tight, and lifted her slightly off her feet. “Sorry I haven’t been emailing. It’s been very busy since the school year started.”

“I bet it has,” said Allen Jones, setting her down again.  “I hear you’re giving a talk on the Grail legend at Yale next year.”

“Yeah.  Apparently I’m an expert on it now or something.”  Nat rolled her eyes – the real thing had turned out to be very different from the stories.  “I still need to figure out what I’m going to say… I’ll probably do all the research and throw something together the night before.  How’s Blackpool?”  Allen was working there as an electrician.

“Damp,” he said, “but it’s actually nice to be back to work.  Retirement was getting boring.”

Sam looked around at everybody gathered.  Someone was missing.  “Where’s Francis?” he asked.  The sixth member of the Committee was Clint Francis from Barton-in-Fabis in Nottinghamshire, a man who’d briefly believed himself to be Robin Hood.  The delusion hadn’t lasted long, but when he got his memory back he’d been able to retain the legendary outlaw’s skill at archery.

“He texted,” said Sharon.  “Apparently he missed the train he was supposed to take and had to get a cab, so he’ll be here, just late.”

“That sounds about right,” Nat nodded.

“Guess what?”  Sharon looped her arm through Sir Stephen’s and smiled proudly.  “Steve got a job!”

“Good for him!” said Allen.  “What’s he doing?”

“There is a chapel in the city of Inverness with a very fine stained glass window depicting the martyrdom of Saint Andrew the Apostle,” Sir Stephen explained. “The window was damaged by some godless vandals and since I am familiar with the painting of glass, the city has engaged me to repair it, using as much of the original glass as possible and painting the new pieces to match.”

“That’s perfect,” said Nat.  Before the Lady of the Lake had made him a warrior, Sir Stephen had wanted to be a painter.  Restoring medieval windows was ideal, and would keep the restless man from getting bored.

The carved door opened, and two security men in elegantly tailored suits emerged to check everybody’s identification one last time.  Once they were satisfied, the taller one opened the door wide to show them in.  “Right this way,” he said.  “Her Majesty the Queen and his Grace the Earl of Dudley are inside.”

Beyond the doors was an immense drawing room with turquoise rugs, filled with gilded furniture and hung with portraits of people in wigs and fancy coats, many of them larger than life-sized.  General Fury, the recently-created Earl of Dudley, was waiting just inside.  He greeted them with a smile.  Fury was the head of the CAAP, although he hadn’t yet had the opportunity to do anything in that capacity and appeared to have hoped he never would.  He had also made it known that he hated the idea of having a title, which was perhaps why he was dressed in his military uniform, with an eyepatch.

“What happened to the glass eye?” asked Sam.

“My granddaughters like the patch better,” Fury replied.  “Apparently it makes me look like a pirate.  It’ll get old eventually and they’ll start to miss me popping the glass eye out and back in again.”

“Down here!” called a voice from the far end of the room.

There, on an elaborately carved and brocaded Louis the Fifteenth sofa with many embroidered cushions, was the Queen of England.  It was only ten AM, but she already had a drink in her hand, and was watching somebody feed pieces of haggis to one of her corgis on the seat beside her. She was dressed in a shade of fuchsia that clashed violently with the turquoise carpeting, and made it difficult to look directly at her.  From what Nat knew of the Queen, she’d done this on purpose.

“Nice to see you all looking well,” said the Queen, as they gathered around her – standing, since even knights and ladies didn’t sit in the presence of the monarch without special permission.  “Sir Stephen, you’re looking as offensively attractive as ever.  Where’s the sixth guy?”

“He missed the train,” said Sam.  “He’s on his way.”

“Figures,” said the Queen.  She tossed back the rest of her drink and held out the glass for one of her servants to refill.  “Well, I’ve a lot to do today.  I’m opening a women’s centre in Vauxhall at lunchtime, and then I’m heading up to Suffolk to look for a stud.”

There was a pause.  The Queen waited for one of them to say something, but nobody dared.

“For my stables,” she finally added, disappointed.  “So let’s get down to business.  I’ve got a surprise for you!  Stop looming over me like bloody Stonehenge and I’ll show you.”

The six present members of the CAAP murmured thanks and arranged themselves on the sofas and ottomans around her.  The corgi regarded them with suspicious eyes, but was soon distracted by the haggis again.

“First of all,” the Queen said, “We got these.  Michaels, come here.”

One of the men in suits – evidently Mr. Michaels – stepped forward to hand out leather-bound booklets the size of passports.  The black covers were undecorated, but when Natasha opened hers she found a photograph of herself with her name and an identification number on one side, and on the other a gold badge with a stylized depiction of the White Tower behind the image of Sir Stephen’s magical shield, with supporters. Instead of the traditional British lion and unicorn, these were a gorilla and a sabre-toothed tiger, two of the sculptures that had come to life in the Tower grounds.  The whole thing was surrounded by a wreath of ivy, and at the bottom was a banner that said Committee for the Appraisal of Archaeological Peril.

“The College of Heralds finally came up with something I didn’t hate,” the Queen said, “so we are pleased to present you with badges.  Museums and archaeological sites across the country and our remaining overseas territories have instructions to let you in if you’ve got one of these.  Promise me you won’t use them to rob anyone.”

“I’ll give Mr. Francis his, if and when he shows up,” said Natasha, taking Clint’s badge too.  She looked over at Allen, who was smiling and shaking his head as he looked at his own. He’d ever imagined he’d have anything like it.

“Thank you, your Majesty,” said Fury formally.  He tucked his into his breast pocket.

“Second,” the Queen went on, “we’ve got your first proper assignment.”

That made everyone look up.  Exactly what the CAAP was supposed to do was a little uncertain.  The Holy Grail and Kracness Circle had been some very perilous archaeology, but nobody was sure what else might be in that category.

“As you may have read in the news,” said the Queen, “the Victoria and Albert is giving the sarcophagus of Princess Sitamun back to Egypt, mummy and all.  It’s some sort of gesture of reconciliation, or something like that, although as I understand it, it was the French who stole the damned thing.  It’s being put on a train next week to go to Cairo, where a Dr. Mostafa will take charge of moving it to their museum.  The folks in charge are a bit worried about the whole affair and have requested that you go along.”

“In case the mummy gets up?” asked Sharon.

“Seems so.”  The Queen shrugged.  “It’s a mummy – there’s probably six different curses on the moldy old bitch and they’re taking no chances.”

Nat looked around at the others.  Babysitting a corpse wasn’t exactly the sort of thing they’d had in mind when they agreed to be a part of this organization, but there were probably far worse things they could have been asked to do.

“So we just drop the mummy off in Egypt and then we come home?” she asked.

“You can sightsee a bit.  I won’t stop you,” said the Queen.  “But that’s all the museum folks want, is you tagging along just in case.”

“We can do that,” Sharon decided.

“Absolutely,” Natasha agreed.

“I always wanted to see the pyramids,” said Allen.

“Wonderful!” said the Queen.  “I’ll let them know and they can give you the departure information.  Now, does anybody want a drink before I run off?”

They turned down alcohol, since it was still early in the morning, but did allow the butler to serve them tea and coffee.  The Queen puttered off with her corgi trotting behind her, but Fury stayed a bit to chat – and ten minutes after her Majesty had left, Clint Francis arrived.  He was soaking wet and carrying a Starbucks cup in one hand, and panting as he was escorted in by two guards who were jogging to keep up with him.

“Hi!” he said cheerfully.  “What did I miss?”

Ten Facts Tag

I was tagged by @sirilikestowrite and therefore challenged to come up with a whole ten facts about myself.

2. I can’t draw for beans but I can write and I definitely have a knack for those trickier writing scenes; fight scenes, dance scenes, and sex scenes.

3. I’ve been on various swim teams for over 15 years. I swim the mile event mainly.

4. I’m very very sapphic. I love ladies and if I have to wear flannel and my rainbow bandanna in order for people not to mistake me for being straight so be it.

5. I love the summer nights aesthetic. The appeal of staying out until late at the fair, long long evenings where the night doesn’t set in until after nine, and going to the boardwalk are things I absolutely love.

6. I was very close to becoming an electrician out of need before finding a way to go to college and work two part time jobs instead.

7. I am mostly Croatian and my middle name (June) came from my Gramma Viche who came from the old country.

10. As soon as I move out on my own, like Siri, I’m also planning on being a vegetarian. (My family are disgusted by vegetarians so it’s kinda hard to live the lifestyle when it’s not supported)

That was really really hard! Who did this to me! :P I’m gonna tag @jewishdragon, @realrosedcat, and @lukadian!!!! Good luck guys! :P

What you require to become a plumber in Adelaide?

In Adelaide, one profession which is high in demand is Plumbing. It involves installing, maintaining and repair of different kinds of pipe systems, for pesky leaks and blocked drainage systems. It has ample specialized areas like plumbers, roof plumbers, gas fitters, fire protection workers, irrigation installers, etc.

 It is a highly specialized area that requires certification and training. 75 percent of the plumbers in Adelaide who are currently employed have completed Certificate 111 or Certificate 1V and 18 percent are without post-school qualifications. To be employed as a plumber Adelaide, they must be qualified in any of the following:

 Join in TAFE SA organized course like the Dual Certificate II program in Construction Pathways (Plumbing and Roof Plumbing) and Certificate II & III in Water Operations. 

Or you can get SA Apprenticeship in the related field. 

After completing the course, you are certified and qualified for taking up employment. You can either be employed in small firms or as self-employed. You can also get employed with federal, state or territory government departments that are concerned with public works. 

 As you further gain training and experience, you can work as a technical or sales representative, plumbing inspector, technical teachers, estimators, building contract administrators, purchasing officers, hydraulics constructions, etc.

What Plumbing occupation demands? 

A plumber can undertake tasks like interpreting, drawing and installing piping layouts, repair, and maintenance of piping systems. There might be many different levels of complexities across these specializations. A plumber also has to work with many types of pipe systems and fixtures, for instance, they deal with general water systems, that include basins and toilets, sprinkler systems. A gas fitter operates with gas lines and gas related appliances that include hot water and other space heating systems. 

Typical drainers operate with sewerage and drain water piping systems that include septic tanks while roof plumbers deal with the guttering systems of buildings. Fire protection workers operate on fire detection equipment while Irrigation installers on installation, designing and maintaining reticulation systems that range from small areas like gardens to large areas like golf courses. 

Working environment  

Plumbing is a physically demanding profession, wherein plumber has to remain physically fit, and in many conditions have to work with hands. They have to tackle many practical problems and issues. A plumber is always looking for an opportunity to select from a wide range of specialized areas and other advantages like an opportunity to make money.

How an overseas trained plumber can get work in Adelaide 

A plumber needs a license 

To work as a plumber in Adelaide, you need a license. In Australia, there are only two occupations that demand a license to operate, Plumbers and Electricians. Besides you need to have a license of the state where you are working or intend to work, For instance, if you have a license to work as a plumber in QLD but also want to do any plumbing task in NSW, you need a separate license for NSW. As it require some time to apply for a license, many foreign-trained plumbers work as a trade assistant for a plumbing or construction company. A trade assistant helps qualified tradesmen but he is not qualified for taking up this task. 

 If you are a foreign student studying in Australia or on a working holiday visa in Australia, you need to apply for a license to work in Canada. The initial step to apply for a license depends on which state you intend to apply. Many states require you to apply for an Offshore Technical Skills Record (OTSR) or to get an Australian qualification.  

 If you are staying overseas, you need an Offshore Technical Skills Record (OTSR). OTSR needs an assessor to find out which skills are required to address the gap training. When you have completed an OTSR, you can get a provisional license which could allow you to operate under the supervision of a licensed trade worker. A worker would then take gap training at a registered training organization and complete the work to get a license. 

 Now many plumbing companies in Adelaide offer their plumbing services to both the commercial as well as residential complexes. These companies hire professional plumbers to carry on their operations, and help the people meet the emergency crises like pipe leaking, overflowing drains and many more. 

Among them, Horncastle plumbing is a highly suggested name in the world of the plumbing industry. The company promises professionalism, commitment, and skilled workgroup and that too 24/7 in all their services to both the households and commercial areas.

Splicing of electrical cables

Remove the outer sheath of the cable

Make sure that you connect two similar cables. The cables must match in terms of wire cross-section and the number of individual wires in the cable. Modern cables have the cross-section and number of wires printed on the outer jacket of the cable.

First, expose the individual conducting wires inside the tough outer plastic jacket by cutting through the jacket with cable shears. Do not use a box cutter or you risk cutting into the individual wires. Insert the cable into the hole of the cable ripper until it is about 15 cm from the end of the cable. Gently squeeze the sides of the ripper and pull the tool away from the end of the cable to cut through the sheathing.

Stripping conductors

All of the cable's conductive wires, except the ground wire, have color-coded plastic insulation. Use wire strippers to remove about 1.25 cm of this insulation from each conductor. The wire stripper has slots for different wire sizes; use the slot that matches the wires in your cable.

Check the cables

Inspect the wiring of both cables for signs of damage, such as cut, chewed, or burned insulation or nicked wiring. If the cable jacket and wire insulation are properly prepared, approximately 15 cm of wire will protrude beyond the edge of the remaining jacket and the individual wires will be stripped and smooth, not nicked.

Removing the knockouts from the junction box

Using a screwdriver and a hammer, loosen two opposing knockout washers from the metal junction box. Use pliers to pry the washers off and remove them completely. You will often need to rock the disc back and forth several times before it comes off. Discard the metal washers.

Attaching wire clips to the junction box

To attach wire clamps to junction box knockouts, first remove the threaded clamping ring and then insert the clamp through the knockout. Screw the clamping ring back onto the terminal from the inside of the box, and tighten the ring firmly with pliers. Do not overtighten or the clamp may break.

Inserting the cables

Insert one cable at a time through the clamp into the knockout of the junction box. Make sure that the cable lies flat on the clamp - if you accidentally position it sideways, you risk damaging the cable.

Wolverhampton plumber wins Toolstation van

Alan Fitzgerald, a plumber and electrician from Wolverhampton, has won first prize in Toolstation’s national competition to win a Ford Transit custom van worth over £26,000, plus £4,000 worth of Makita power tools.

Over 110,000 people entered the competition, which Toolstation runs each year as a thank you to its customers.

The sole trader, a former maintenance engineer who retrained following redundancy, collected the keys to his brand-new van from Pete Walker, divisional director for the central division at Toolstation’s Dudley branch.

Reflecting on his win, Alan said: “It came as a real shock! I’d seen a poster in the Dudley branch advertising the competition so entered whilst I was waiting to collect an order, and then just forgot about it because I thought the van was unattainable. When I got the voicemail saying I’d won I had to replay the message three times!”

Pete congratulated Alan on his win and encouraged customers to keep an eye out for more competitions this year, saying: “Our ‘Win a Van’ competition always proves incredibly popular with our trade customers and is our opportunity to say thanks for choosing Toolstation. In the past 12 months we’ve opened 67 new branches, bringing our total to over 400, and introduced over 3,000 new products which are proving to be a big hit with the trade. We’re predicting further growth this year, so look out for more competitions in branch and online!”

A working-class suburb tells the story of Mexico’s election

By Dudley Althaus, Washington Post, July 2, 2018

VALLE DE CHALCO, Mexico--Inés Villa has been waiting since childhood for a president like Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who has been swept into office in a landslide by millions of the working poor like her.

Growing up in Valle de Chalco, a once forlorn squatter settlement on the fringe of Mexico City, the 34-year-old shopkeeper and mother of two remembers carrying water from a single community tap, walking to school on muddy, unpaved streets, helping her mother wash clothes in a drainage ditch.

All that began to change when Valle de Chalco was made the poster child of the federal government’s social investments programs three decades ago, by a president accused of winning his election fraudulently. A torrent of money paved streets, installed sewer, water and power lines, built schools.

Such largesse long kept Valle de Chalco and thousands of communities like it across Mexico loyal to the long-ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, and later to its political rivals that emerged through a fitful generation-long transition to democracy.

But that fealty was buried in Sunday’s election--perhaps for good--as voters overwhelmingly shunned the PRI and its traditional left and right rivals to place their faith in López Obrador, a leftist nationalist who is sharply critical of what he calls the “mafia of power”--career politicians and their allies in the business community.

The vote provided a clear signal of how pocketbook politics have become less powerful as the country has experienced rampant corruption, unhinged criminal violence and deep inequality amid an industrial boom.

“The PRI did a lot for this town over the years, really improved things,” said Villa, whose tiny grocery stands across the street from the field where Pope John Paul II once celebrated Mass to underscore the plight of Mexico’s poor. “But as the years have passed you see how they have robbed, cheated, lied and failed.

“A change has to happen,” she said.

“The same parties that assured Mexico a gradual transition to electoral democracy are today roadkill,” said Federico Estévez, a political scientist in Mexico City who has tracked the country’s political transition for the past three decades. “A majority of the electorate has said, ‘Good riddance!’”

“Mexico faces stormy times as government and business duke it out for several years,” Estévez said. But, he added, with luck, the election results can lead to a “long-term foundation for sustained support of the political system on the basis of a new social contract.”

That new contract has begun to flower here, political activists say, as neighborhood groups that long bartered votes for the PRI--and more recently the leftist Party of the Democratic Revolution--for public works have been replaced by politics waged on social media by teens and grandmothers alike.

“When you reach a certain level of well-being, the old politics don’t work anymore,” said Evaristo Lopez, a 53-year-old electrician who joined the Morena party at its founding four years ago. “People have many more sources of information, opinion and organizing now. The old ways don’t have the same power.”

Poverty still prevails here, certainly.

But the flood of government money through the past three decades has transformed most of Valle de Chalco from tin-shacked squalor into a bustling city of 400,000.

But dissatisfaction with the status quo has grown along with the greater prosperity. Freed from worrying about a roof, a bed and a daily meal, many residents have turned their sights to larger issues. López Obrador’s nationalist message and criticism of Mexico’s globalized economy struck a nostalgic nerve with many.

“We don’t love our traditions. We don’t love our culture. We have given up our economy,” said David Villarreal, 31, a dreadlocked bicycle-shop worker who stood two hours under a hot sun Sunday to cast his vote for López Obrador. “It’s a question of national identity.”

Adelaide 24 Hour Plumbing – Tips to Installing a Hot Water System

It’s Monday morning. You’re getting ready to jump into the shower so you can get ready for work, when you turn the handle for “Hot,” and nothing happens – your hot water system has gone out, and as usual, at the least opportune time. So, instead of cleaning yours out from time to time you expect to just chug along and magically make hot water forever. Unfortunately, for many reasons such as rust and corrosion, they give out and need to be replaced. The easiest way to do this is to have someone come and replace it, but if for whatever reason you can’t do that, this will serve as your tutorial for doing it yourself. If you give this a good reading, as well as four to six hours, you can be up and running with hot water again.

1. Pick a hot water heater. There are probably several places close to you where you can buy another hot water heater. That’s not a problem. What you need to do to make this as easy as possible, however, is to pick the same type of fuel that you are already using, whether gas or electric. For the purpose of this tutorial, that is what we will assume. It’s usually not a problem to move up to a slightly bigger water heater if you so desire. The only thing keeping you from this is the amount of clearance between the water heater and the wall behind it. If you have the room for a bigger one, get it if you want to.

2. Check the plumbing. Now you are ready to install your water heater, but before you do that you will need to make sure the connection dimensions are the same. Otherwise, you will need to make adjustments to the connections to make them fit. Hopefully the plumber who did your installation did the job right, saving you a lot of extra work.

Now for a word of caution: When you move your water heater from where it is and bring in the new one, you will probably need help. Water heaters are very heavy, and trying to wrestle one by yourself is foolhardy. Get some help and save yourself some doctor bills. 3. Shut off the utilities. Begin by turning off the water at the main or at the water heater. Next, you need to turn off the fuel source. If you have an electric water heater, either remove the fuse or turn off the breaker. If you have a gas water heater, turn it off at the main or at the tank. Next, drain the tank. 4. Remove and replace the water heater. You should use a level to make sure it it set up properly. 5. Install the fittings, connect the fuel sources, turn on the water, and let it go. You have replaced your hot water heater.

Before you declare the job done, make sure you know the laws regarding installation, since some states have safety requirements and only allow installations by a qualified plumber. For any electrical work you must use a licensed electrician.

If you have an issue with a blocked drain Adelaide or hot water system Adelaide, then you need a 24-hour plumber Adelaide or an emergency plumber Adelaide to service you. You might also reach out to a gas plumber Adelaide to help you. Its important that you have a plumber Adelaide or an Adelaide Plumber and Adelaide plumbers you can trust.

How to install a wall lamp

Turn off the power

Turn off the power to the work area by disconnecting the circuits at the electrical panel.

Mark the wall studs

Using the stud finder, locate the two vertical wall studs behind the drywall between which the sconce will be installed. Mark them with painter's tape. The wall studs are usually spaced 35 cm apart.

Mark the position of the light and switch

Mark with tape the intended location for the light and the wall switch. They should be located between the two supports. The height of the light switch is not prescribed, but generally switches are located at a height of about 120 cm.

Mark and cut the hole for the light box

Round electrical boxes often come with paper templates to cut out in the drywall. Cut these out with scissors, then draw a circle where you want the light to go. A 10 cm hole is needed for a 10 cm can. Cut out the hole by hand using a drywall saw or a hole saw. Remove the drywall cutout.

Mark and cut the hole for the light switch box

Turn the box over and use its edges as a template. Cut out the hole and remove the cutout.

Assess the type of the socket box

Remove the front panel of the outlet from which you want to draw power. Using the non-contact voltage tester, make sure the outlet is de-energized. Unscrew the outlet and pull it out of the box, but leave it connected to the cables.

Determine if the outlet is a legacy receptacle or a nail-in (or screw-in) receptacle:

Old style receptacle: The receptacle looks similar to the one you bought for the wall light switch. It has two screws that can be used to remove the can.

To nail or screw in: these cans do not have the two screws specified on the old can. These boxes cannot be removed without tearing down the drywall.

Removing the old factory junction box

Use a hand screwdriver to unscrew the two screws on the old factory junction box. Turn the screws counterclockwise until the box loosens. Then pull the box into the room by one edge, but leave it attached to the cables.

Run the wires from the light box to the switch box

Fish the 14/2 wire by hand from the light box hole down to the switch box hole. Cut the wire long enough so that about 20 to 25 cm protrude from each hole.

Call the Emergency Electrician in Dudley. We are your right contact partner. After calling us, we send immediately an electrician to replace your light bulbs at home. Call us now, 01384465898.

So I am in love with the book I’m currently reading, and it inspired me to write about some turn-of-the-century 1920s guys messing around with magic

Please note that I’m not certain that this is Dudley’s canon backstory; just the one I felt like writing tonight.

I might continue this tomorrow or something in like, a part two that’s in a reblog.

It was a quiet business being a bookseller even if it wasn’t always lucrative, but Dudley kept himself clothed and fed and always paid his rent on time.  More- he could have supported a family on it.  Of course, he had no desire for one.

He enjoyed his friends.  Like Travis, the sailor, who was standing in his store at the moment.  Dudley grinned and threw his arms around the stocky fellow.  Travis and Dudley had grown up together- had almost been born on the same day.  They had been inseparable until Travis decided to travel so many miles away, and Dudley did not want to be parted with his beloved Boston.

Dudley patted Travis on the back and brought him to his office, and made him some tea as he told his story.  There was an urn lamp on the table that flickered on and off with the vibrations, so Travis took it by the neck as he spoke.  The sailor had a plain box in front of him that caught Dudley’s eye, but the bookseller was patient and waited until Travis was done talking.  The tea whistled and Dudley brought two cups to the table.

Travis had traveled to the Mediterranean, and they had seen the cities on the hills, the bizarres, the mosques.  Travis told Dudley several stories, like the one about the stolen camels.  Dudley almost choking with laughter.

“Did you bring me any books, though?”  Dudley asked.

Travis rolled his eyes, “A one track mind with you, isn’t it?”

“Oh come on- I missed your face too, a little, I guess.”

Travis popped open the box, “Just this one got my attention, though, it might be a fluke.  It’s just- really weird!”

It was a simple leather bound book, though thick.  There was a striking design pressed into the cover of the book- a jackal opening it’s mouth and howling out two snakes.  What an odd image!  What did it mean?

Dudley started flipping though, though he forgot his gloves, “It’s a blank book?” 

“Not entirely.  Keep flipping.”

Dudley did, and sensed some annoyance to his side.  The lamp was flickering still, as Travis had let go of the neck.  Dudley reached for it, and flipped through the pages with one hand, which he could do because the pages were narrow.

“Maybe you should change the light bulb?”  Travis said.

“It’s not an issue with the bulb- the wiring in the neck’s shot.”

“Take it to an electrician, then.”

“Eh, it works fine enough.”

“You’re burning your fingers, Dudster.”

Dudley had to admit that his fingers were a little toasty so close to the hot bulb.  The body of the lamp was metal too, so the whole thing was hot.

Travis rolled his eyes, “Jeezum Dudley, you’ll spend a c-note on a rare book, but you can’t shill out a few dimes to get it fixed?”

“This one works fine though!”  Dudley said again.  In truth, getting it fixed just hadn’t occurred to him.  Tasks that required going too far from his book shop usually didn’t occur to him, “Oh, hey, here were go.”

“Ah, yes,” Travis got up to pour himself some more tea, “see?  Someone made this entire book- a very pretty book!  And only wrote one note in it.  I mean, what is this, a rich guy’s notebook?  I don’t have a translation for you- I bought it on my last day in Syria and didn’t get anyone to translate it.”

“What are you talking about, Travis?”

“The note.  It’s in Arabic.”

“No it’s not.”

Travis brought the steaming cup to his lips, but thought better of it, “OK, didn’t realize you were an expert on non-Latin languages.”

Dudley’s mouth twisted a little- was Travis playing a joke on him?  “Trav, it’s written in English,” he picked up the book with both hands, and the lamp flickered out entirely.  Dudley rolled his eyes, sighed, and strangled the lamp again.  Travis was probably right about getting a new one, though Dudley was loath to admit it.  Dudley balanced the book on it’s spine and read from the page.

“To turn this empty tome into a spellbook, just hold the spine and read this passage,” Dudley didn’t hold the spine because he was holding the lamp and he didn’t want to cast a shadow on the book, but he did read the following passage, which was not in English, but also didn’t sound like Arabic to his ears.  Nor did it sound like any of the languages he heard on the regular basis- not words of Gaelic that were furtively spoken in the pubs, or flowy French, or the complex language of the Chinese people who walked the streets.

The lamp was finally giving off a solid glow.  Travis was still holding his tea cup just under his face, “There’s no way it says that, Dudster.”

Dudley rolled his eyes, and slid the book across the table, “You take a look, then!”  

Travis sat down and glanced at the page, “Wanna give me some light?”

“Sure,” Dudley moved his hand to adjust the shade on the lamp, or at least, tried to.  His hand didn’t seem to want to move from the neck, “What the-” he said put his other hand on the base.  How like right hand came off, and he was able to turn the shade in Travis’s direction.  

“What the heck?”  Travis said.

“What?”  

“The writing is gone.”

“It probably got turned to another page while I was sliding it across the table,” and speaking of, the lamp bottom went sliding across the table as Dudley attempted to pull his hand away from the shade.  The lamp just sort of went with his hand instead, like it was glued.  Dudley looked at it and blinked.

“No I just saw it a minute ago.  It disappeared while I was looking at it.”

Travis was playing the strangest jokes today.  Must have been all that sea air and and avoiding scurvy getting to his brain.  Dudley shrugged, making a conscious decision not to be bothered by it.  He stood up, “Do you need a place to-” his words dried up.  He was looking at his hand.

“To stay?  Jeez that’s nice, but my cous- Dudster?  What’s wrong?  You throwing that lamp away?”

Dudley waved his right hand a couple of times.  Though he wasn’t gripping it, the lampshade stayed firm in his hand, almost like it was attached to it.  Said shade was not attached and Dudley realized that the lamp would probably fall and the bulb would shatter, so he grabbed the base.  Suddenly, his right hand came off the shade.

He screwed up his mouth, grabbed the lamp around the neck.  His left hand came off, and he set it on the table.  Only, the lamp would not stay on the table.

“I don’t get it.  Are you trying to break it?”  Travis asked.

“Trav,” Dudley was a bit lack of breath, “I can’t let go of it!”

“What?”

Dudley breathed unsteadily, “I can transfer it to my other hand, but I can’t let go of the stupid thing!  Unplug it, will you?”

“Unplug?”

Dudley realized that the lamp was not plugged into the wall.  It didn’t even have a power cord trailing from it.  But- it was a working electric lamp.  It had an electrical cord.  “What the heck?”

At this time, Dudley first heard the sound that would define his existence for the next eighty years.  It was a soft, slightly metallic and kind of musical ting!
