We are just about to move house and one of the jobs that will need doing
(and will be notifiable) is to put electricity into the shed that will
be moving with us.

I still have a nice length of 4mm2 armoured cable complete with glands
and this would be ideal for a proper underground supply. The only
problem is that it is red/black i.e. non-harmonised.

I think that I am probably onto a loser here as regulations are
regulations etc., but would it be acceptable to mark the red with brown
and the black with blue at both ends of the cable either with tape or
heatshrink?

It just seems a shame to scrap a perfectly good piece of cable that was
fine until 1 Jan 2005 but now seems to have been outlawed.

Cheers

Steve

And if you just do it, who will know when it was done? ( apart from the few
on here of course G)

Oh I wish it was like that!

I might have problems explaining how the supply got to the shed that
wasn't there two years before we moved in!

But it has got me thinking... "The supply was there to an old shed
previously and this shed was a like-for-like replacement" ;-)

If you don't 'just do it' and stay quite, you can probably sell the
coil on ebay for as much if not more then the 'harmonised' equivelent
to those wishing to 'just do it'

Alternatively you could use it to hang Prescott, preferably without
breaking the neck to ensure a very slow painful experience.

You don't think Prescott is even aware of Part P, do you? You know
what he was doing while his civil servants wrote and signed it.
