    Spur off Double Socket.

    It doesn't have to. This is about posting information that is WRONG: "If the circuit is Ring Final Circuit (general assumption would be 32A Breaker and 2x2.5mm cable connected for RFC at the DB) , you can only take one unfused spur from the feed/supply socket. You cannot have multiple unfused...

    Spur off Double Socket.

    That's an appendix, isn't it? Informative, not normative. I've yet to see anybody reference an actual regulation number.

    Shed Foundation has an ant problem

    Works for weeds but not moss or lichens. I'd suggest blasting the gaps with a pressure washer to remove existing sand, weeds and soil, then when dry, resand and seal. It's worth washing, resand8ng and sealing the whole area.
