I’ll be at the space this evening, and on Thursday from 10 - 3, and available to do space making. I saw a thread where someone asked about daytime working this week but now can’t find it, but if anyone wants to join me on Thursday we could carry on where the Wednesday evening crew leaves off.
If anyone ia working on the wall let me know before they start because i want to put the noggins in very specific placeis
are you in tonight?
Hell yes finish the wall and get the cables in and start putting the floor down . And hopefully start the lighting tomorrow

I can be down in about 20mins. Can stay for a few hours. So just let me know what need doing
Cheers
I can help out tomorrow evening for a couple of hours if someone’s around to give me a bit of direction?
Congratulations everyone on the progress so far, I’m amazed how much has been done in the week since I was last there!
Have sent you my number
Stud at 2.4 m needs moving towards to back about 10mm sorry my bad .
Above the door and a straight line of noggins with top edge at 2.4 m nogings below as you like .
I want to try to make a workshop that nobody has to where ear defenders so i was going to try to make the top of the wall ie above 2.4m include a sound absobont structure . So was going to put 2x1 in the boxes at the top to carry the second skin of plasterbord and then fill the gap with rockwool and finish with open slats.
What do you think?
Hi guys.
Wish I could come in but I’ve been sick since Sunday.
But I’m hoping to be well again by the weekend or next week to help out.
Sounds like you’re making great progress. Wish I was there to help.
Gushing email complete!
Hi joe
I only got as far as starting the top row of noggins (just read the nogging height, I placed them at 2.4 centres. There are only 4-5 so if you want to move them it’s not a massive job)
I get what your saying about the top detail. But couldn’t say weather it would work or not. But in my experience, even in a big high workshop, it still gets loud. So I wear ear protection
Added in the extra upright next to the doorway
Moved the upright 10mm back
The door header is done. Door height + door frame thickness 45mm + about 20mn for adjustment.
Both measured from the T&G floor level
Had a quick tidy up too
I might be free tomorrow day or night
Cheers

Sounds good will be there later and will carry on will be there again tomorrow
I’ll be there Thurs eve and will bring my sparky overalls if you want any electricals done / tea made etc… Courty

Have started the electrics we need some 4mm can you check if you can still run a 20A spur in 2.5 mm
And how long you can go before getting into trouble with loop inpedences.
Will be in tomorrow night , did a bit more today but got sidetracked by electrics have built one of my boxes the ladder is against it sara j will be in tomorrow
For single phase spurs there are a couple of factors. Length of run, what the cable is being run through and if the proposed load is inductive.
For a standard non-lighting spur with the cable going through insulated walls for instance, the max fuse board to outlet distance is 25m for 2.5 twin and Earth. After that you either go to a 2.5mm loop or go to 4mm
If we are running more than a couple of spurs over 25m to the back area for instance, we should think about a remote consumer unit (mini fuse board) for that area.
Given you have 3 phase, we may be able to use a separate phase and balance the loads ? Just a thought, discuss over a tea later ?!

I got the impression that this was the plan…
I still think 4mm2 is a pain to use. And a waste of money.
The radials we put in phase 1 on 2.5mm are good for 20amp breakers. I know there’s been talk of converting them into rings to bring them up to 32amp. I think that’s unnecessary. Are we really likely to have more load then 20amps on an electronics bench?
So: 3 phase is something I never worked with. But I thought one of the advantages was thinner cable?
3 phase running 3 phase machines = thinner cables. 3 phase running 3 x 1 phase normal electrics = 3 x the capacity… Ish

Thanks.
My understanding is:one phase each for; front area, dusty area, wet/snug. Possibly with boards in each section.We have SWA cable so that should be safe to run from main board without RCD protection (?)
Dusty also to have a 3phase supply for machines that need it.
Only if we need to when we measure the loop inpeadence
