 Any electricians out there? - Pat
After my less than satisfactory performance first with a paraffin heater, then with a Super Ser in the greenhouse, I have managed to persuade Mr pda that he really does need electricity in the garage.
He can have light, and a twin plug for the caravan leisure battery, and trickle charger for Bertha.
He's finally come round to the idea that if we are going to have it in the garage we might just as well have it in the shed and greenhouse too;)

Sometimes I think he humours me!

Now, where do we start?
Picture this in your minds....the garage is detached and about 8' from the house but alongside it. The shed is about 4' behind the back of the garage, and the greenhouse about 4' behind the shed.

The mains electricity comes in to the house directly opposite the garage.
We have outside electrics for the pond but they are a lot further away.

Can a wire be fitted to go over the path between the garage and the house or will it have to go under the concrete path?
Can it go overhead between the garage, shed and greenhouse.
Where do you fit a light switch and plug for a heater in a greenhouse?

And the burning question is...has anyone any idea how much this is likely to cost so I can warn Mr pda before the shock becomes too much and he decides it's not a good idea after all.

I need some woman maths, so come on guys help me please!

Pat
