Well I finally managed to complete the workshop wiring after my shop re vamp

Fitted a extractor in the roof to reduce the dust and heat build up in summer

Then needed a main switch just inside the door
as you can see I was 1 wire short so used a second connection just to the side

Had some trouble making all the connections inside the RDC box as there was not much room , so my mate suggested taking out the flat Grey thing that were taking up all the room , Good idea I thought as there is loads of room now

Installed a junction box under the work bench to connect everything on that side of the workshop , As you can see these boxes are useless and dont have enough room inside

:twisted: but with a few alterations I managed in the end , My knees hurt now

On the other side of the workshop I needed power , this is the one error I made , not enough outlets , so a bit of improvisation and in good old Blister fashion managed to fit it all in :p

I enjoyed the project and would like to thank Bob ( 9fingers ) for his help and suggestions along the way :lol: Thanks Bob , and anyone else who made suggestions , Thanks Guys

Can anyone recommend a PAT tester to come and sign it off for me


:D

Cant understand why people shy away from electrics , its EASY :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

nice work - another hot tip is that you might find that fuses keep inconeviently tripping at the mains box , so either bypass this unnecessary nanny state device completely, or simply replace each fuse with a length of threaded rod :lol: :lol: :lol:

Shame that we now have to go to the expense of threaded rod. I remember the days when kitkats were wrapped in foil. :lol: Ah, yes the good old days.

I used 6" nails trimmed to the correct length of course , don't want it touching the side of the fuse box , that's not safe :lol:
