G and J

I'm cheap, oh so cheap, but not quite free. But J and I are available on the 11th so it’s game on!

My bedtime is 21:45 nowadays so no danger there from my point of view.

“Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.” You too huh? Depressing, isn’t it.

Well as you asked so nicely @Alan Ambrose how about the 11th.....can't do this week as screed going down. Would still need torches if want a site visit as minimal lighting available!

Thank for all this guys. It’s a long run (over 40m) so the Doncaster cable option works out rather more expensive so I’ll go separate. Neat idea for my EV point at the front which is a very short run. I've ducting going in that can take the Ethernet cable anyway, and I like the idea of keeping it away from the mains cable. I’ve found a source of single phase coloured cable - however my sparky is back earlier than expected and tells me to use 3phase coloured cable to save money. I’ll do what I’m told for once.

Thank you Andy. That’s helped enormously.

At the bottom of my garden there is a man cave and playing with the online voltage drop calculators it seems I would be ok with 6mm but I may go for 10mm to be sure. What I can’t work out is if I need a two or three core cable. I’m finding it confusing as they don’t seem to have insulation colours that I would expect. What do I need?

Are you talking sh*t? (Sorry, couldn’t resist that!)

I know it sounds daft but divining does work. Back it up by digging where the rods tell you. I was shocked by how accurate it is.

But try not to scare them too much Alan. lol

I put such a small panel on normal kitchen door hinges so I could it pop open when the need arose. Velcro or magnets would do the job too.

Would seem a nice idea.....

Ermmm, No. Far from it. The term glacial springs to mind.

I think almost every Thursday works equally well (or badly) for the next few months. Apart from the 4th Thursday next month I guess. We will always be stressing about getting the next bit done and it’ll be pitch dark. Oh and Thursdays are always quiz night in our local. So, next Thursday looks as good as any.

So all in all nearly a good idea. If you swap your car for a Citroen Ami then you can have inward opening doors. Simples. 😉
