Hi people, I have just laid some 20mm shingle around my shed and have a big problem with cats doing number 2's on the shingle and its driving me mad,what can i use to deter them.

Rung the labc today and they said they would come and see if it needs testing when its finished,the earth wire will be in a conduit to the spike, Just one more thing about self adhesive truncking has anybody used it and how well does it stick to painted walls :?

I was looking into get the LABC in testing it and checking it out,anybody got any clue how much they charge. Also what do you mean by machanical damage :shock:

now i have got a 4ft earth rod and a clamp,now i know you have to drive this into the ground near the shed but how far away from the shed also does it need to be covered by a small inspection hole and should i use 6mm earth cable to conect it up to the cu :o

It is going to be swa outside but normal inside :evil:

So what size then and 2 or 3 core plus is it ok to use a standard junction box.

I think the run should be around 70ft give or take

ok i havent got a problem going from the cu i'm quite looking forward to it but if there was a easier and cheaper way i would of gone with that. Can i just make sure,whats the minimum size wire you would use and also because the junction box for connecting the 2 different wires will be in side...

ok people no fighting now here what i shall be using in the shed see what you think.circular saw,router,drills,planer,lights,maybe a battery charger for cordless drills and Radio controlled batteries.and stereo and maybe a heater.there will only be a twin gang and a strip light,

Plus that would be a bit expensive run in all swa cable. But thank you all for the help +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Oh yeah just one more thing should i use 2 or 3 core cable _____________________________ moderator please note 10a
