    Well, since switching everything off and back on theres been no power to the cabin so might need to call a sparky after all. Massive pain in the ass as have a cabin full of telling evidence and dont have the time before xmas. Cant finish my cupboard till I move the plugs, and cant grow till the cupboards done.
    Feeling so defeated and deflated. Thanks for the help, concern, warnings etc.

    Have you tried the Clarkson method of shouting at it, calling it stupid then hitting it with a hammer? All jokes aside mate it's annoying when shit like that happens, just wanna crack on and you're being hindered by something out of your control

    Result... found an unlabeled switch I thought wasn't being used but turns out that's the one for the cabin.

    You dont expect to see opened up consumer boards and the link is there to growing cannabis.

    Seen too many claims and loss caused by consumer boards

    Im sure everyone here has positive intentions but it needs saying that this isnt a good idea.
    90% of the time, I find anyway, is that if people in our situation want to do this, they will...maybe that means go to youtube, a mate or a mates mate whose grandad knew how to wire a plug.

    I try to help people do it safely, obviously I cant be there to check and totally know where you are coming from but better Silk having an input rather than video or 3rd hand 2nd hand knowledge as he cant risk a unknown tradesman

    Criminal offence ??? So is growing weed mate and TBF I think opening a CU would be ignored in this case...obviously it still needs to comply hence the conduit, which IMO makes it a safer installation than was previously fitted.

    Admittedly, I should taken it to PM so apologies if I've put site in jeopardy...not intentional

    My Dad was an electrical draughtsman who was involved in the wiring design of Drax...and other power stations. It really pisses him off that, whilst I find domestic easy, I can't get my head around 3 phase

    No worries. Didnt realise I was breaking the rules. But still pleased to have your input and judgment of the work that was carried out. Never planned on fucking with anything in the boxes, just wanted to ensure they were safe after the concerns raised.

    Thx again dude
