    Cory has gone to the Shire and has faithful Reuben along for assistance . As he investigates the 17th.century abode for clues for his project he calls in reinforcements to to battle with the slumbering wasps in their winters quarters in the thatched attic. Cory lives in a parallel universe of knowing the mystic arts of electricery installation in the 21th century . But he has been to the North and Winter is coming.He always scans his environment for clues in Nature . Consulting with various spiders, dogs and horses at his different jobs sites Is Cory a Time Traveler ? He loves high fructose corn syrup,chocolate and Pringles .Tomorrow he is bringing his climbing gear to work . Will he be transported back in time again. Tuned for part 2.

    Ah yes - thank you. If you draw a 3-way circuit with the feed/switch wire in L1/L2 in the two way switch at one end, it is electrically identical if you were to "move" those to L1/L2 on one side of the intermediate switch.

    Fascinating one this one. We’ve got a 450 year old farmhouse with a thatched roof in Suffolk. Probably more original than the one in the video since it’s not been moved. Ours has 1st floors throughout now and a ceiling to the loft but was originally open to the rafters for 2/3 of the house and they kept cows and sheep and horses in the open bit until 1750. The smell has gone now. I’ve put a grid of 2x2 metal trunking in the loft with metal flexicon from the trunking through the ceilings to keep the wiring all in metal enclosures right through to the consumer unit. The thatch has a fire proof lining to keep the cost of the insurance down together with ponds outside just to ensure enough water if there is a fire.

    you can have intermediate switch as the 'middle switch' use 1 3core cable brown and connect with the feeds and the other 3core cable brown with the switch wire, and then connect the intermediate grey and black in the switch like normal and second fix the 2 end switches! :)

    With a thatched roof I would always recommend a lightning protection system. I am sure the insurance company would reduce your premiums with that installed as well. Something to advise the owner Jordan it will be a specialist company. E5 group recently did an excellent video on this.

    You can have the intermediate as the first switch. I did it last week, you just have switch/feed in the L1 /L2 with one of the 3C/CPC and the other 3C/CPC there going into the other side of it plus the commons in the Wago , so you just literally end up with 1 x 3C/Cpc at each of the other 2 switches. The intermediate switch is connected as standard but with the feed and SL in L1 and L2 with them.

    I hate wasps too! Regarding the existing lighting cct, it should still be possible to adapt by making the switch with the line and switch line the intermediate point. Obviously we can’t see the wiring as well as you but I think that’s how you described it. Anyway, you guys produce some great content. Thanks 👍

    That was interesting. I was watching this video, and the inevitable adverts came up (they irritate me). But not this time, because the advert was for a burglar alarm being installed by your firm. I guess they were impressed with the video you guys made showing what the product can do and how it is easy to install.

    I was in a loft replacing a bathroom fan… and accidentally put my hand through a wasps nest (it was pretty well hidden in my defence). Got stung 10+ times all over my left arm. Had to exfil the loft in a similarly rushed fashion and deploy a can of wasp spray with the trigger taped down into the loft. Wife told me to man up and grab dad’s bee keeping suit to get back up there and finish the job.

    you don't need to quinetic you can use the feed switch as an intermediate you just have a 1 gang either side and have the common wago'd with the feed and switch live leaving the strappers in the middle switch only. Similar to the way conduit is wired live in one end, live out the other and just strappers between.

    did not know they had electrics back then lol roof is either thatch or reed ,on a tower that high you do not need a safety harness, you got so mush side protection all the way up and its built correctly ,a bit of common-sense says do not over reach ,if you are going to use a safety harness ,just clip it to side of tower where you are working ,use a proper ladder to access loft ,,instead of standing on the very top of a step ladder
