hi all
ive just erected a metal type shed for my dad in his back garden.
he wants to have an electric supply to it.
i have 2.5 armoured cable. can i tap into a socket from the kitchen by fitting an fcu as a spare, then run a 2.5 flat twin and earth to a to a metal junction box under the kitchen worktop, from there attach the t/e and the armoured cable using a cable connector. the distance from the house to shed is about 25 ft. im also not sure what to do in the shed side. do i fit another metal junction box and another fcu in the shed as another isolater. he wants a socket for his lawn mower and drill etc and a light fitting. also do i really need the 2.5 flat t/e cable?, can i just use the armoured cable if i cut back the armoured part?.
thank you.
