If I do a quick add up of all sockets,lights and then a list of tools in the garage will this give us a better idea of load I agree with @JSHarris in that I won't be using a grinder at the same time as the pillar drill, the workshop is just for me and only for diy home fixing of things. The days of spending hours welding excavator buckets up have gone the thing that won't change is the distance from the main switch to the building plot, I am going to have the garage connected to the house rather than detached and going to put the cu in the garage on the wall closest to the brick building to keep the cable as short as poss.

How does every one feel about running a swa cable under water???? wtf I hear you say the cable that feeds the cabin at the moment runs directly across the lake underwater.

Im not a sparky so I could be wrong, but the 3 phases come to the brick cabinet but only a small feed comes out as it is just feeding a small wooden cabin at the moment.

If I'm going to install this in a duct does it need to be swa or can I run singles. Just looked at some prices and I'm still laying on the floor trying to get up.

Hi @PeterW I'm not sure I understand, move what and why. You say 70mm is a bit beefy for 100 m, again why. What does 70mm look like in terms of outside diameter.

Sitting here bored, I thought I would ask this as I'm sure someone can answer it easily So so we have a mains feed that comes in from the road and runs to a brick building with our metre in and a main switch. We have 3 phase in this building. So from this building I need to run a new cable to the new house consumer unit. Question. What size cable do I need to run a fairly substantial family home. Distance from building to house is 100m house will have ashp, solar on roof and a good size workshop where I have a good size compressor and a mig welder, also will need power for sewage treatment plant, I like lots of power points hope this isn't to vague. Cheers russ.

Do you fancy a vanity. Hides a multitude of things.

Can you get two 45 bends on it to kick it into the wall as soon as it enters the room. If you check with the manufacturer of the joists they will tell you if you can drill or not.

Can you tell me who did the design and engineering for the frame.

Have you got any pics? Interested to see how far out. Is it a bit you have core filled ? If not can you not straighten it ?

I think you should do some sums and then re think ready mix. Unless you are 20 years old and all your helpers, at least 4 others are as fit as the proverbial butchers dog you are going to struggle mixing that. If you say you can't get a truck to it how are you getting your ballest to it? At some stage you are going to need to put something in a barrow, so if you have to put something in a barrow why not readymix. Doing some rough sums in my head you probably need 20plus tonnes of material. I know now how I would do it. 1 man on a mini dumper and 3 laying. Ready mix truck. All done in 1 day.

Looks excellent buddy. Can I ask why you have stick built and not had a frame made.

Aha. Just seen your other topic. ?

Looks good, are you stick building this on site. I want to do this to save a few quid, stick built my last house but it seems a rare thing to do here.

Yes the list will be huge, but I work on so many places where people don't think of simple things. Why only an outside tap on the back of the house. Why not one under the carport by the driveway. Just silly things that make the house work better.

Local repairs, then a good heavy lining paper then some minor filling and then paint.

You may need to look overseas America or Australia, look at pool fencing. Bunnings warehouse.

Thanks Ian.

@IanR is that a snap together type sheet or does it need the seam tools to form the seam. And whose is it. Cheers russ.

I have just found a few but my rafter length is to long at just over 8 metres.

Hi can anybody point me at some products suitable for roof pitch of 15 degrees. I have my own ideas just looking for suggestions. Thanks.

Oh I'm not happy hearing that. Bugger. I will have to have a think.

Can I ask what problems you had with tata im thinking of using them but haven't made any contact yet.

Oh misread are you a conversion rather than new build.

Is the bigger issue working out why you are not building up to be out of the flood risk? If you thought you where going to be. If like us I have had to spend a fortune on a fra so would want to know the right answers.
