minor gloat. . .
sparky came today and wired up the shed. . .
did a great job. . .
circuit board/breakers in the shed
2 x 15A pp
4 x double 10A pp
exising fluro lights wired
2 extra fluros (singles)
34metres heavy cable
new something-or-other in the fuse box
he lifted the roof irons on the house and put the wire in under them
led the cable all the way along the C section of our large shade area
strung a wire between the end of that and the shed corner
wired all the shed (pro-job, too. . .)
great bloke
40Amps - sparky reckons probly 32A with the length of the run
all for under $900...
I'm chuffed. . .

Power in the shed is a wunnerful thing!
He probably put an earth leakage circuit breaker in the fusebox.
Enjoy, the $ pain goes away soon enough, well, it goes away...

I should have said it appeared to be good value. What with parts etc that's not a bad deal at all. Originally Posted by Jedo_03

Had to bury my cable, 25m underground, trench to be dug but got an earth leakage detector in the shed as well as the main fusebox, cost me a heap of antenna installations and a small passive repeater for his holiday house.
I suspect he got the better end of the deal.
$900 sounds a good price.Stupidity kills. Absolute stupidity kills absolutely.
