Hi chaps
I am going to fit a socket in the garage by having a plug at one end (into an existing socket) and then running a cable to either a 4 way extension socket or a proper 2 way plug socket, but I planned to use some old lawnmower cable which doesnt have an earth wire and wondered if it would be safe ? I cant afford to have the electrical work done so this is a more economical option. The guy at B&Q said I MUST have an earth if I am using a proper wall socket but if need be I will use a 4 way extn attached to the wall - dont mind which.
Thanks for your advice
