Guys
This one'll make you laugh...
I previosuly posted about running 16mm SWA from my main supply / meter 50m down the garden to a garage (separate Consumer Unit, etc).
the only problem with this is the crazy price for the SWA and associated gubbins.
In a moment of madness, I thought ' what about establishing a second, separate supply and meter for the garage - which is only 4 meters from an adjacent terraced row of houses?...' - i.e. separate supply from main domestic supply.
In my naive experience, not only would this save me laying over 60 -65 metres of SWA cable (twists and turns, etc), but installation costs could be comparable?? (about £500?)
Any ideas of ball-park costs anyone? or is this just a silly idea that should be quickly forgotten ?
