Hello,
I couldn't find a "Say Hello" part of the forum, so I'm going straight in with my questions
I have a garage about 50 yards from my flat with no elec power to it.
So I recently bought a generator to power tools, lighting etc:
http://www.sipuk.co.uk/tools/info_SIP04739.html
I wanted to run the generator outside the garage (it's a bit noisy & the fumes won't do me much good) & the best place for soundproofing purposes is outside the rear of the garage. So what I was hoping to do was, run a cable from the 13amp socket on the generator, into a socket that I can attach on the exterior garage wall (so will have to be safe if it rained), then have the power run from this socket into the garage to something like a 2 gang plug socket so I can plug in a light/drill etc.
When I'm not working out there the gen will be put back in the garage, hence the sockets & not leaving wires & plugs dangling around when not in use.
I hope that all makes sense.
So, can this be done?
