Well, on Thursday afternoon about 1pm my new shed arrived. The bloke put it together and I stuck the felt of the roof, took the old shed to the tip and then started teaching myself about plastic conduit [a perfect use for a half days holiday 
]!
Following on from this thread http://www.talk.electricianforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=9704
New shed:
I was going to take many pictures to document the process, but I was concentrating and sort of forgot!
A pic of the cable pulling:
Socket fronts going on:
I have just lost my push fit virginity. Ordered some 2 way push fits from CPC and a few lever Wago's and a small mixed pack from http://www.wagobox.com/
This is the middle shed all wired up
This is where The radial is cut and the singles start. Into a IP44 JB with cable tied drilled through for strain relief.
This is the existing shed which was wired in surface T&E that I converted to singles in conduit:
Ms Apache requested two outside lights for BBQ's etc if we get a summer
On the RHS you can see where I entered directly through the wall into the outside light fitting. On the end in front on the left hand side the socket circuit enters. Drilled through from the other shed that is lower. Pulled the bend using a 20mm internal spring. On the right hand side of the end wall is where the lights come through from the smaller shed - the outside bit is enclosed in conduit.
Close up:
Also had a request for an outside socket
Other end of shed showing power to a DSO and down to the outside socket (directly through the shed wall) via a DP isolator. There is a DP isolator for the pair of outside lights tucked up close to the roof.
Close up
Another angle:
The two DSO's in the new shed
My new favourite tool - CK automatic cable stripper and a pair of cable shears
Any comments/criticism will be well received. Remember I had never done anything like this before! I did like playing with the flexible singles rather than stiff T&E. Still waiting on the new fluorescent fitting for the middle shed and the 2 gang switch for the shed lights!
