Doing some electrics in the garage for workshop use, also sistering some 18mm plywood rips to existing roof trusses for additional support, prior to rails and panels going up.

9mm OSB added to another wall for rigidity.

6 rails cut to size and cut ends painted with galv paint

Workbench half made, found bench power supply, lights and my long lost variac!
Even found the pinecil soldering iron, and desoldering station.

Need to get these panels up soon to let start playing with all the fun I’m finding in boxes long forgotten about

Slow progress as I’m tidying up the contents of the garage as i go, found all the hardware, screws, silicones purchased over several months and now deposited into 1 box

Completed consumer unit, just need to fit some surface boxes and sockets.

B&Q do great little black storage boxes for £3 so bought 16 so far and sorted into different ‘ stuff’ that I will keep.

Those old transformer based Sunny Boys may not be the most efficient these days but they are near bomb proof. They will likely see us all out. :mrgreen:

Hope so, my 2011 FIT install is on a sunny boy 1700, and still plodding away, got this one on EBay for £100 so can’t complain.
