1. I am very worried about your choice of carpet to mount the cable roller on!!!

2. What is the red plug for... where does that bit of flex go to that warrants a RED PLUG!!!

I am intrigued

3. I believe there is an NVQ in van and workshop tidying....

I cant remember if you can call your self and electrician with a van like that?????

Thats best Axminster that is Specs it deadens a lot of rattling and stops stuff skidding around TBH .

Red plug feeds a waterproof socket for the mower .

Does it look as if I have an NVQ in van tidy systems O)

Well times are hard Specs , the old Model T will have to do I'm afraid ..........'aint worked for a month now other than one job @

 
now thats not nice evans , cutting the top of the kiddys swings to use as a cable roller! not a bad idea! now wheres the local park again :D

 
Then you should have a tidy garage! :p
Patche..you're starting to sound like the missuss !! ;)

Thats acually tidy.............should have seen it before I had a clear out .

Load of short lengths of SWA etc . All down to the Tatman.

I'm a sod for thinking , "Oh this will come in useful one day , can't chuck that away".

 
How about this for a home made roller?

On a more serious note, in NZ the twin and earth always came on metal or plastic spools so the rollers we used were a pair of cylindrical rollers fixed on a plate. You just sat the roll of cable on it and started pulling the cable off. Quite a good idea.

there also used over here, but not as popular

when i get round to it, i was going to make one. roll of 10mm

 
I had a tidy up in my store & decided I needed to chuck some stuff away...it was hard but the old salvaged "it may come in handy one day" clutter got binned....even the old C50 mcb's & 30mA rcbo's
