All done externally barring the guttering, water butt and soak away.
With some grateful help from Sopwith Steve and John Watson my lathe and profile miller are now housed, spent today building the bench for the lathe.
So to all my patient customers awaiting re-profiled wheels and conversions I shall be up and running soon.
Also managed to stand the baseboards up for Bow Creek Wharf and start thinking about the extended layout that links the wharf.

Looks fantastic Col, very exciting stuff indeed :thumbs:

Cheers Mick,
Still some way to go, need to put in the wiring for a ring main and lighting. Anyone on WT have any experience with sparks, I need to run an armoured cable from the house to the workshop, about 40'- 0" max. Not a problem in it's self but I need to find out what size cable ?

Col.

First off you need to know your predicted load, but I'd start with 6mm² as a minimum and work form there. You'll also need to size the outgoing fuse as well, an RCD is probably mandatory these days.

One thing to consider is that this work is part P work and is notifiable to the local authorities by law. You can notify yourself but the cost is quite high, if caught with no notification or certificate then the fine is/was....long time since I bashed cables....£5000

Personally, and I am an electrician, I'd get some one in, if only to give you rough pricing and options, some electricians are more than happy to let you dig the garden up and run the cable and they come along and do the connections and testing. Given the tightening on the law with electrical regulations I'd rather just pay someone these days for domestic work unless it's a simple socket change or spur.

Stupid really as my qualifications allow me to work on 600V + on machines capable of killing not one but several people in one go, but I can't put a new ceiling rose up or extend a ring main in a domestic property. Having said that, small works have been relaxed recently, but I'd need to get my notes out from the recent IEE course to be sure exactly what I can and cannot do without notification and/or part P certification.

Decided to spend the afternoon working one of my own projects, not done that in an age.!:(

As mentioned earlier in this thread one of the river side buildings got a damaged chimney stack so I have repaired it and started to finish the roof of
Braithwaite and Dean's premises.
Ridge tiles and some preliminary weathering also added.
