The wooden box was painted with the bitumen rubber solution yesterday to provide a good rainwater protection, and today, it was installed outside beside the huddle of conduits in where our Utility Room would be.

It was screwed down into the concrete using standard wall plugs and 4 screws, and the mains electric conduit cut down and fitted to the underside of the cabinet so we can pull through an electric cable from the Garage, which we duly did this afternoon.  The distance from the Garage to inside the box is approximately 10 metres, as measured by the length of the string we pulled out which was connected to the 2.5mm2 twin and earth cable.

Tomorrow, two double sockets will be screwed up inside the box and wired up using the cable now ready, and a standard  13Amp plug fitted on the beginning end of the same cable inside the Garage and plugged into an ordinary socket. We are already storing the electric reel in the box and closed the door!!
