I got fed up of the ugly white electrical sockets so have just replaced them with a couple of sleek stainless steel ones. Now I'm no electrician but it was easy peasy just 3 wires to undo and re-wire, less than a 5 minutes job.

Good work. It's been on our never ending list of probable upgrades for a while now, just haven't got around to it.

As you say, quite straight foward to do, as the new facias are metal you should make doubly sure the earth is properly connected to avoid any nasty shocks.

Great tip Geoff. I had two sockets left over from when we fitted it our conservatory so have used them. They look so much better than the white ones.

Sorry but I can't view your Photo
Yahoo demands that I create an account (which I don't want) before any access to the Photo.

Sorry Osg. Should work now. I'd set the viewing options incorrectly.

Like those Dalesman. Job well done and one marked down for the future. Just need a stainless rim around the battery tester now. Wink
