Never seen anyone using washing up liquid like this. Is that a social media thing?

I was hoping that they were for some sort of blinders 😢

I have lived in this house for the last 38 years. It is large and the roof has many Veluxes. It is now 1.38 AM. I get out of bed and check. EACH ONE of them has a ruddy bolt! I never knew! Boy do I feel dumb... but now I can play clever 😅. Thanks!

I bloody hate jobs that go like that. Should just be a straightforward job but then all the little things happen. Frustrating for you. I love your swearing in these. Anyone who doesn’t can fuck off.

The UK has the best plugs going. Love using them. They are satisfying to look at. However what’s with the whole unsheathed earth? In Australia and NZ the cable just comes with all three wires sheathed. Just how it is. Easy.

got a better house than me that

Jesus…..i have seen some baggy sleeving in my time but that’s just taking the pi$$! 😂

Very funny and great videos.

technically you could have just wired it into the switched fused spur.

I genuinely thought the thing on top of that box was a toaster. 😂

I tape the join, acetone, silicone, tool it with my finger and then pull tape off, soap and tool it so theres no ridge line. Stops soap getting under it.

Just been up into the loft to check our Velux and…lo and behold!…you’re right….never realised we had those…many thanks!

Aiden, great videos! Noticed you need a label maker, I'm here! I make professional labels, if you get back to me I will sort them for you foc. Best regards Chris

Helpful hint, use a step drill to go through the back box and it won't snatch the box from you like the normal drill bit did. Glad you got it all done and I agree with the ridiculous size of some of the back boxes, they really annoy the hell out of me too!

the worst part of every job is clearing the fucking tools away when you've finished... the amount of tools used sometimes is bewildering. well done on getting it sorted

Lol, just looked at mine. Surprise discovered, cheers!

Someone I know mentioned using a Niimbot - mobile printer label maker. He seemed to think it was OK for mild work, and cheap enough not to be sad if you left it in the rain.

Was 100% waiting for you to put the socket in and the socket door not close 🤣

That was painful to watch 😳😩 Well done for persevering though Aiden 👏👌

Another job done ✔️

Danm it I hold the wondow while cleaning too!

Surely would've been easier to just fit a proper plug instead. Even if you swapped out the socket to an outdoor type.. which actually fits together nicely instead of that thing.

This might not be the answer you were asking for, but I got a cheap label maker from a carboot sale, paid £3 for one 😁

Aaaaaaand kicked

i have got the same tester. I had no problems with outdoor sockets, been in over 5 years

If you leave it long enough the grass will hide it ;)

Label maker - Niimbot, for example D110 is very cheap. They have different formats too

Haven't watched it yet, but yesterday... Whilst trying to add an electrical outlet in my sauna, I discovered the incoming main power supply plug was labelled opposite to what the control box had been wired for. I'd diligently followed the labelling on the plug, but then gave myself a shock from what should have been a neutral wire. I mean, I shouldn't have been working on it live of course, but at least I realised there was an issue😂

BS7671 18th Edition ("The wiring regulations") requires that RCD protection be provided for all socket outlets rated up to 32A in outdoor locations. If you do not have a 30mA RCD upstream, then you should really be including one before the Schuko socket. The BS1363 socket you removed had one. Highly recommended. Could save your life. Easiest would be to replace the fused connection unit for one with an RCD. Another thing to think about is fusing. If the air pump requires a 3A fuse, you might require a 3A RCD protected fused switch for the Shuko, and retain the 13A fused switch for the BS1363 socket. Shuko sockets are not shuttered (a requirement for domestic premises), so I would be inclined to cut the plug off and wire it straight into a 3A RCD protected fused connection unit fed from the 13A fused connection unit.

Doesn't condensation happen due to cold? so even in the little roofed porch electronics can get damp and corrode. I imagine either the electronics in it's enclosure generates enough heat to keep the temperature above the dew point or there might even be heating resistors to heat up the air inside when it is cold. Could be if the power to the unit is switched off for a prolonged period in cold weather condensation can occur inside. Just me guessing. Lesson learned methinks!l!...namely always cut the wire longer than you think it needs to be. But lovely feeling when you switch on and it works......a sense of amazement & achievement 👍

🙏👍😊

Cool little video Aiden. I flipping hate trying to squeeze wires into back boxes.

Errrrm you shouldn't be doing electrics

Woof!

You should have used the click bait of I was "Shocked"

😮😅I was a window cleaner for years

Ow my F god,I’ve had these on last 2 properties.. Never know the reason for those.And I have never seen them on the instructions/installation manual

If you want to remove the silicone with just gasoline and scrub with a cloth, it will come off quickly

Danish design - the best of the best! And YES, it IS in the manual how to lock the window in place for cleaning.

I have been doing this for years, but not to clean the glass. If you use this lock you get better air flow, hot goes out the top, cooler comes in the bottom.

Why don’t they tell you?🤷🏼‍♀️

99% of people don't read the manual or bother to get the info from their installers

I bought a house 23 years ago with Velux in the roof. I’ve just gone up and looked. It has this. I’ve learnt something today

Just moved into a rooftop Apartment and was wondering how to clean the windows from outside. You made my day!!!!

One way you can often tell the wire size is read it off the cable. Most now have the size of the conductor stamped along its length

It's all explained in the care instructions that come with the velux window.

Knowing this would have prevented me launching my window cleaning spray bottle into the neighbours back yard 2 houses away.
