Mr DIY (who managed to add a new kitchen ring main recently and now thinks he's an electrician) is looking to power a wooden garden shed, a wooden garden playhouse and my garage.
There are currently no electrics supplied to either. I am looking to add lights and power sockets to all three.
I am proposing add a spur with a 3a fuse to run the lights.
I have a spare slot on my main board, and am thinking (for safety sake) that I will get a 40amp MCB and run either 4.0 or 6.0mm cable to a new consumer unit housed in the garage (which is attached to the house, so I can run this cable under the floor from my main board and out of the air brick into the garage). The garage lights and power can be 'normal' 2.5 cable as it's all undercover, and then run some armoured cable down to the shed, and add another light and power socket, and then run the last bit of armoured cable to the playhouse for lights (and maybe a power socket).
Question is...is there anything wrong with this scenario, or have I missed anything?
If there is anyone out there that's going to comment/shoot me down, please can you do it in English!!!
T.I.A.
