After spending a RIDICULOUS amount
After spending a RIDICULOUS amount of time watching Electricians on YouTube I decided I was competent (ish) and could safely install a new outside socket on my driveway... How did it go? Did I completely mess it up? Did I blow up the house? Did it all go horribly wrong?
Well blummin' watch and find out!
I would really like to add that this is how I installed it - this is the first time I've ever done anything like this, and there are a few mistakes and things I messed up, as well as a few steps I didn't show. However the final result is pretty satisfactory.. But if you're in doubt about doing something like this, then please DON'T.
This is the socket I fitted - https://amzn.to/3qXDEmt
This is the socket tester I used - https://amzn.to/3KIExY2
This is the fused switch spur I used - https://amzn.to/3G1XMIo
This is the MK Rapid Fix Double Socket I used - https://amzn.to/3rTddxr
