Outsourcing Housework Freed Up Precious Time For This Busy Homeowner

Posted 27/11/18

Busy homeowner Michelle holds down parenting, full-time work and studying towards her PhD. She shares with us how she used Builderscrack to outsource her housework so she could focus on the important stuff... How It Started To say Michelle is a driven person is an understatement. Sitting across from a woman that packs so much into her days is inspiring, not only because of that drive but the clever way she has arranged her life to make it possible. She tells me "I’m doing a full-time PhD and I’m doing full-time work, so for me, I have lots to do and absolutely no time. I also have a teenager who’s almost 16, who is extremely social. Every weekend there are at least five to seven friends invited, and they are having a sleepover. I come home, and I'm like, “I left it nice and tidy, what happened?”. Michelle and her son moved into their home three years ago, and with a laugh explains “how things were starting to fall apart and in need of repair”. It wasn't only hard findi

Install Caravan Socket in garage, suitable for electric vehicle charging.

Posted 2 months ago

I'd like to get a Caravan Socket installed in my garage for faster EV charging. The Caravan socket would be installed approx 8 metres away from the existing switchboard, which backs on to the garage wall from another internal room. A new RCD Type B would be needed as i understand it for this to proceed.

Suddenly this evening parts of our house lost power, particularly the lights in one part of the house but also some power plugs downstairs. I have managed to keep the freezers going by running a lead from a plug still operational but need a sparky to sort the problem for me tomorrow (Sunday).
