Hello! Taking a few minutes out of the sun because I can't stop wondering....
Obviously I am completely ignorant of electrics and wouldn't dream of attempting anything like this myself, but I am curious whether this is possible so I can make plans and then get someone in to do it.
I currently have a cable running from my fuse box under the stairs, via the loft, to power my upstairs electric shower. This was professionally fitted some years ago, and played with when I had my fuse box changed - so it's perfectly safe. In theory, can I redirect this cable to my garage to power that? I'd want a plug socket (one is fine), a light or two (one out, one in), and one day I'd like to have a powered garage door.
Ignoring the logistics of it (positioning of rooms/garage/fuse box etc), would this cable carry enough power for all of that? I know I'd need a second fuse box out there for anything other than a single plug, and sadly running a cable from my fuse box out there is a little difficult.
Thanks for any advice that anyone can give, and I can only apologise for being as ignorant as I am. I wish I wasn't!
