[QUOTE="lcdman, post: 20472, member: 1369"] Hi Guys, I'm scratching my head here, suffering some serious brain fade trying to figure this one out. A "new" neighbour has asked me to look at providing power to a new shed, some 15 yds away from the house at the end of the garden, to house her tumble drier (2.6KW) and freezer (800W). Since they moved in a year ago, the house has been newly decorated and has had a posh real wood floor fitted to the entire ground floor. Being an old-mid-terrace/town house there is a building on either side. It was "rewired" before they moved in (so about 18 months ago) and has nice split load CU in with 3 spare breakers. Now the problem. The CU is at the front of the house! Can't get under the floor (****** all crawl space anyway), no cellar (obviously) can't lift any boards (means lifting the real wood floor first- apparently her 'kin pride and joy!!). Can't go outside, down either side, as there is a house in the way. So how the fluk do I get my SWA from the front of the house to the back?? Any thoughts guys? There is a DSO in the rear wall so the downstairs ring is kind of accessible - any options to spur off that? I thought no originally but the kitchen has it's own separate circuit and I could only find 3 DSOs on the downstairs ring (even though it has a 32A breaker in the box). BTW, The lady of the house assumed I could drill a hole through the back wall (in the lounge), bury some T&E the length of the garden and plug it into the nearest socket :o [/QUOTE]
