Hi.
I had electrics put into my two sheds last year. SWA was ran from the house MCB into the first shed where it terminated into an RCD.
To save money on using SWA unnecessarily, they then ran twin and earth from the first RCD, through the length of the first shed, before connecting back to SWA in a junction box, to take it outside to the next shed where it terminated in another RCD.
A picture is worth a thousand words, so I have drawn up a diagram.
Now, I want to add a junction box in the first shed where the red X is drawn, so I can spur off some SWA and run it across the garden where it will terminate into a suitable waterproof box where I can have some outdoor plugs and a garden light connected.
I'm not stupid or like taking chances which is why I got an electrician to install the electrics previously, but I do know how to wire up extra spurs and sockets, so I am wondering if this is a job I can do myself. Money is so tight so I don't really want to get an electrician to do it, if its something I could do. Could anyone shed some light on what this job would entail so I can make a judgment call ?
Thanks guys.
Joe.
