This diagram is so useful to me - can I ask how you found it?

Thank you - not only have you shown me exactly what was going on there but the diagram above shows me exactly how to rewire it for the newer modern light fitting. Thanks!

The region is NSW. The ground is two grounds from two cables wrapped together with a little strip of green sheeth around it.

comment Is it safe to install this hot water tank from ebay?
so you're basically questioning the safety of the actual unit, not my installation plans? they've sold hundreds of these units on ebay with 99.7% positive feedback... so I'm happy to assume that the unit itself is safe. I'm just wondering about my installation plans.

comment Is it safe to install this hot water tank from ebay?
My personal circumstances don't allow for me to buy a proper, larger hot water tank. I wouldn't be asking the question if I could get a beautiful 400L off-peak tank to save money. I want a "per use" hot water system because it's just me and I only use it occasionally. A tank would just be wasting money every day. I understand your concerns, and thank you for your concern, but I would like to try this if it is feasible.

I was planning on just re-routing the power from the hot water tank into the unit

I plan to just connect the hoses as it is with the hot water tank - and the power.

comment Is it bad that my porcelain tiles were stored outside in the rain?
I was worried about that. It seems odd to me that all of the major tile warehouses seem to store some of their tiles outside. Is this normal? I asked the guy if it mattered that the tiles were wet and he said "no - the tile adhesive is wet when you install them so what's the difference?". How long would I have to leave each tile out individually to make sure that they're "bone dry"? Thanks

comment Can I use mixed shellac flakes in place of Zinsser BIN primer?
Thanks!! Your expertise is appreciated! I contacted the makers of BIN and they tried to say that regular shellac wouldn't work - but it seemed like they were just trying to sell their product.

comment Can I use mixed shellac flakes in place of Zinsser BIN primer?
Hi, thanks! Can I ask why I would need to use dewaxed flakes? ( I won't be painting over it - it will be covered over with the drywall ceiling.) Thanks!

comment Should I use sugar soap or denatured alcohol to clean nicotine from painted walls?
Thanks. i'm not sure why but someone edited my title to remove where I specifically indicated that sugar soap is a Trisodium phosphate equivalent.

comment Would this be an effective method to remove painted popcorn ceiling?
so the water managed to soak in through the paint? or through the cracks you were making?

comment Will drywall mud stick to shellac-based primer?
I am attempting an identical project (nicotine stained walls and shellac). My email is on my profile if you would like to discuss your experience.
