sussex 5,776 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Cheapest way is to talk the girlfriend round....food is food.Perhaps take the outer covers of stuff ,& bag it up.Make it look like you bought it not shot/caught/trapped it ..Did'nt think them jock girls worried about them sort of things,the one i married even helps gralloch !!!.... ................ps dont think the solar panels on there own will do the job Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest long-tail Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) dont know what distance your covering but my sheds approx 5meters away from the house,just spur off a socket in the house with a 2.5mm twin and earth cable into a socket in the shed then out of that into a fused spur then back out up to the light with a 1mm twin and earth cable,attach the cable to an overhead wire to keep it up out of harms way between house and shed easy total cost about £20,a sparky would have wanted around £200 Edited March 28, 2013 by long-tail Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottish carper ingram 40 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 ive recently just run electric up to my pigeon loft, i got a 50ft extension from b n q cut the plug off it, drilled through the wall and spurred it off the washing machine outlet in the kitchen, run it up the fence to a junction box in the loft, works a treat ingram 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lanesra 3,961 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 If your ever using an Extension Lead make sure you unwind All The Cable as Left coiled up and running can cause a Fire . . Those who know this may think its a stupid post but the amount off people Ive see not doing this when running power to sheds , Kennels or when just using them is ridiculous ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vixen 528 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 do you really have to move the freezer? cant you just move it to a spare room or the kitchen to save any hassle? i keep mine in the spare room, thought about putting power to the hut for it but it's handy where it is Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BIGLURKS 874 Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 I agree with all cheapest way would be running a extension cord even though I don't like the idea was just thinking about it long term Iam going too need a freezer for a longtime and can't complain about free electricity just an idea too try save some penny's cos my freezer is on all year round and I don't plan on dying any time soon was thinking might be a good little investment I could take with me if I move Quote Link to post Share on other sites
