Good to see you back back. Missed your videos. 👍
Cheers matey, been mad busy 😅
I have this cabin and am doing the install myself, I'm not a spark, but your video gave me the confidence, I particularly like the idea of routing the black conduit outside and just having the pattresses showing on the inside. I have bought 2. 5 mm Twin and Earth and was going to install it as a ring main but take note of trying to force 2.5 twice through a 20mm conduit so I may upgrade to 25mm conduit if needs be. Great job and given me some excellent tips. Hope the cold is better, it's been 2 years so it should be.👍
Glad I could be of some help, depending what your running, I’d suggest only using a 20Amp radial to try and save the heartache of 2 x twin and earths. However it is doable with 2 you just have to take the time to feed them In straight with no twists
Great, I have loads of time as I M RETIRED AND DOING IT FOR MYSELF BUT IF i HAD MY TIME AGAIN i WOULD RUN SINGLE CABLE RUNS LIKE YOURS, THERES A REASON YOU ARE A SPRK AND i AM AN ENTHUASTIC AMTEUR. hAVE A WORK FREE sUNDAY, cHEERS AGAIN. mIKE @@Cablesmith
don't you just hate caps lock ...LOL
Cracking install 👍🏻
Thanks Jonny 👍🏼
Very nice work. I like the white conduit and boxes against the light colored wood. You are very detail oriented. Good on you.
Thank you mate. Most people do pick white conduit, however I personally prefer black myself with the wood, only when it meets a white box/socket then it would look a bit silly. Black sockets and boxes are a bit hard to come by.
@@Cablesmith I like the black with a solid wall color. It's too bad the black boxes aren't more available. Mixing different colors of conduit and/or boxes would be naf.
Quality Job as always mate, agree with you about having fewer circuits and harder to make it look neat etc
Nice job and pride in your work there mate, great planning to hide the conduit & run it round the back 👌🏻Would have done exactly the same 👏🏻👏🏻
Cheers brother 👌🏼 always proper hard to get a neat 4 way board 😂 still never managed to nail it
Nice one mate! Good to see you back as well!
Cheers buddy 👌🏼
Another enjoyable video,keep them coming
Thats what happens when you plan the job ! Nice one. Looks great outside and in. PS have you ever tried to get 2x 2.5mm T+E into 20mm conduit with right-angled bends ? Ask Mr Jordan ..........😂
thank you mate 👌🏼 and yes I have 😂 hence why I won’t try again ! not worth the swearing
Nice neat install pal ,I'd love a shed like that 👍
Me too ! 😃 thanks bud
And he's back 👍. Nice little install there and spot on with the single cpc... forward thinking. So, got yourself an apprentice at last [following the trend of your idol Bundy10 and CJR...] but did you really need to ... 'go to the dogs'. 🤣
Haha I’ve had an apprentice for nearly 2 years now 😃
Good vid. Covered it well in 12 mins. One criticism. Wish they got a bigger summerhouse as it would have looked even better with that install ! :-)
Thanks mate 👏🏼
Cracking job dude, nice one. :)
Thanks matey 👌🏼
Cracking job.
Thanks Adrian 👏🏼
Your back, as always great vid. 👍
Thanks mate, may be a little slow with uploads sometimes but I’m going nowhere 😃
Nice job well done
Thank you 😊
Looks Good !
Thank you
Welcome back bro 🙏 nice tidy work.
Cheers brother 👊🏼
Thanks for that enjoyed the video and learnt alot.
Glad you liked it! Appreciate you watching
Nice job mate. Welcome back.
Thank you mate 😉
Olbas Inhaler - Tool of the day for me.
Haha absolutely well spotted that was !
Nice one as usual, hoping i'll be back in the game early next year
Don’t forget to upload then 😉
Top job mate👍🏻
Cheers matey 👍🏼
some good info and tips here, nice video bud. Just starting my log cabin now, concrete base cast, starting to build up the logs/walls now. I have about a 25metre distance from consumer box in the house, may I ask what the cost for what you did on this cabin was please ?
This one was £1740 but included an upgraded consumer unit in the main house too.
Rear entry 😂🔥💯
Haha 👍🏼 thanks for watching
What is that on you cordless drill
Stickers or transfer??
Look well cool buddy
great vid one handed
It’s been hydro-dipped mate, if your on Instagram, have a look on my profile you’ll see it properly. Thanks for watching bud 👌🏼
Lovely work…..Neat tidy customer must of been chuffed
Ps did you use you 40amp RCBO in the main consumer unit in the house feeding the summer house??
Thank you. In this job yes it was 40A MCB
We upgraded the old board to full RCBO and an MCB for the SWA to the summer house
Hey just about to have a summer house installed . What would be the typical cost for something like this please. Parts labour etc thank you nd great work 😊
I typically charge around £1000-1300 for the majority, but depending what they want, I’ve done one for around £3500 before now 🤯
@@Cablesmith thank you for your reply 😁
Hi, do you just have one light switch that will switch the inside and outside lights? Is the security light not permanently on?
You can have it however you wish, in this one I think the floodlight was just on the motion sensor.
Hey mate great work. one question, if you used a 40amp mcb from the consumer unit, why did you use 100amp mains fuse for the summer house?
Thanks mate. So the 100A main switch is just that, a switch. It’s not a fuse and will never trip.
It’s just rated at 100A as that’s what it can safely handle before probably melting. So, in this case, the maximum it will ever carry would be 40A, as that would be the point the supplying MCB would trip.
Hope this makes sense, and thanks for watching.
I have one cable going into the summer house. I want to wire 4 double plugs, 3 way light switch, 2 ceiling lights (1 switch), 2 lights on the front outside, 1 light on the side outside, and 3 lights on the wall outside. Do I buy a fuse box and have main cable going in and all other cables coming out please?
Yes you would definitely want a fusebox. But it depends how big the cable is going to the summer house.
Could you advice if I can run a power cable from outdoor socket to a summer house without placing the cable underground as we have porcelain slabs all the way?
Basically looking to run the cable in a protective ducting along an external wall then along the ground at the back of my shed then into the summer house?
Would a certified electrician be able to think of something along those lines and certified it afcourse? If not what is the best option in your opinion
Yes you can clip it above ground without any issue. Running from an outdoor socket may be a problem you’d be very limited in terms of what you could use in the summer house.
Thanks for the response. What's the best option to feed a cable from?
@@coolI12332 main consumer unit in the house for me personally.
Can you answer this question from Fusebox so I know what to order please: I can see there is a main switch there (IT1002) and the RCBO’s I am unable to see the ampage. What is the ampage on the RCBO’s please 🙏
The main switch is 60947-3
The rcbos if I remember rightly are 20A for sockets 6A for lights but this all depends on what’s needed for specific jobs.
@@Cablesmith thank you so much 🙏
How much would all this cost on a 3x2.5m?
Really too hard to say exactly there’s so many different factors at play. £800-1400 is as close as I could say without seeing anything
hope your customer was pleased, really nice neat job I'd have been well chuffed if that was my shed. Question from a non spark, when you use single cable rather than T &E, is the earth the same gauge as the other conductors? Difficult to tell on a small screen, but it looked the same size to me.
Thank you mate, and yes I’ve always used the same size earth when using singles.
That’s a smart job, I pretty much need the same for my log cabin, what’s the cost for this spec? Cheers
Hi Tony, it all really depends on the job but on average we are around £800-1200 for these.
Thanks 😊
@@Cablesmith that sounds reasonable. I’ll give you a shout when I need an actual quote. Thanks for the swift response 😊
@@teamloony no problem mate
TT supply no need for earth rod?
TNS, wooden structure, no extraneous parts
Nice job that mate 👍 Which back boxes do you use ? Tried a couple of wholesalers and the ones for conduit only have central holes and the blanks look horrible and break out so easy I’d be worried about a kid poking something through it !
Your right, that’s the ones I used. They don’t poke out too easy tho. need a good wack with snips 😃 not sure the brand they were tho.
@@Cablesmith best ones I’ve tried up to now were from CEF - had some from toolstation once (it was a desperate Sunday job don’t grill me !) and I wouldn’t recommend them 👍
@@lammy2304 I’ll use anything as long as it’s not those ones made out of an egg shell 😂
Great video mate. Very informative. How long did it take you to do that install?
Thanks mate, it took around 12 hours on site with the SWA run etc
it was also about 40° in there which slowed me down 😂
I know it’s probably a rude question but what kind of cost would this be ?
Not rude mate, but the answer is difficult because it all depends on the individual job, there’s so many variables like the cable size etc.
usually £1000-1600
Really nice job, I like how you work and your attention to detail. Not keen on those light fittings, looks like old rope wrapped round toilet roll tubes!
Thanks mate appreciate it 👌🏼
toilet roll tubes made me laugh 😂
Is your cabin a terminator by Dunster House?
I’m not sure this was for a customer. We just wire them
Yes, that is exactly right Terminator from Dunster House, I have it with the Evil Amy shed attachment which is where I am installing the consumer unit.
whats the risk of fire with this?
with what? The summer house itself or the wiring?
@@Cablesmith Wiring in a summer house, is there any risk of fire? I'm asking cause I'll be moving my PC into a summer house and the electricals will be done DIY, so I don't want my stuff to burn cause of an electrical fire
@@morninglobbyenjoyer I suppose there’s always a small risk of an electrical fire, but no more than anywhere else. Everything is protected by RCD’s, tested etc. shouldn’t have any issues
@@Cablesmith Ok great thanks. Just was worrying wood would make it more susceptible to fires but I'll get it checked by an electrician anyway.
@@morninglobbyenjoyer I mean if there was a fire, obviously it would be much worse. But an electrical fault causing the fire isn’t any more likely than anywhere in your house really.
How much do you charge for a job like this?
It’s already job specific but on average £900-1400
Keep the video’s coming our kid... never mind if it’s been done before ... different strokes for different folks and all
Your right mate, that does actually stop me sometimes you know.
👍🏼
Nice neat job.
Thank you mate
