I only need 2, maybe 3 live - but I'll need to cut the cable for the ground floor to go into the connector for whichever alcove I want live.
Upstairs I'll need it permanently split 2 ways I reckon.
What "man jobs" have you done today?

I thought I’d managed to jump into a thread from 2003 which so much aerial talk 
do you seriously need the aerial though? Our house has coax wired to every room but has never been wired up in the loft. We have a satellite wired into the living room tv, purely because it was already there but never really even use that.

And because I'm running cat6 regardless, and I'll be using euro modules, I'll have a spare slot to fill and for the cost of 50 quid every alcove can be wired.I thought I’d managed to jump into a thread from 2003 which so much aerial talk
Potentially struck gold but is yours in this state or does it look worn to useless?I bought the kit used and it's missing the double box (has 2x single box). But yes I'll sell it on once we're done with it. Which MM category will it fit under

That looks similar or better than minePotentially struck gold but is yours in this state or does it look worn to useless?
Haven't used them yet though - arrived last week and I've not been to the house yet! We have mostly grey block not brick, so should be a piece of cake.
Thanks! Unfortunately it's missing the guide and the guide bars but I'm sure I can make something up.That looks similar or better than mine

Is there no insulation in your loft?
Yes - can you not see all of the old rugs and off cuts of blankets and fibreglass?
Tbh this is the second time I've been in the loft as couldn't see hand in front of you with the old lights.
I've measured up for loft insulation and boarding, though. Will try and get a patch done so that the boiler man isn't working in filfth.
The earth wasn't wired up.
All legit - 50 quid later:That looks similar or better than mine

Just need to grab the support bar and guides.

Definitely pleased with the space! I'm thinking double size loft hatch and full boarding...

I unblocked the bath drain, which was unpleasant to say the least, but the wet/dry vac took care of it in no time.
I also measured up the loft hatch because I want to replace the old timber hatch in preparation for getting a dropdown ladder (required as our boiler is in the loft). It will also be good to get something with insulation.
The current hatch opening is a bit of an odd size, but I think i've found one which will fit and cover everything up to where the plasterboard starts around the opening, so I won't have to repair the ceiling.

Let me know how you get on...I'm thinking of swapping mine to something larger (and not in the bathroom).

You'd be as well getting ladders which come already with the loft hatch built-in as this will save you hassle.
I was thinking that but I'm sure I'll encounter a glitch by raising the loft floor by 200mm?
