    Comments on this DIY job please?

    garage consumer unit

    No, it's not. A switch provides no protection. Just a means of isolation. What's the rating of the pump? How is the lighting circuit currently protected? Why are you proposing to use a 'garage unit' fed from the ring circuit?

    garage consumer unit

    If this is a residential property, all new electrical work has to comply with Part P of the building regs and, in practice, with BS 7671. If you are going to install a new final circuit for a pump, then the work will require notification to the local authority in accordance with Part P. Sounds...

    Lowest grade of cable

    Two pieces of string, suitably spaced. However, the light will only work when it's been raining. :) Or, a length of NYY-J would be my choice.

    Recommendations for multi tool blade for brick/plaster

    Is the 180A what you need or what's available? You need to look at equipment (and preferably use terms) that's actually available in the UK, not the US. If you said where you are, you might find someone on here who could take a look. Yes, you will need circuit protection that's appropriate...

    Are you in the USA? If you're in the UK, you can't rely on the supplier's fuse to protect your distribution circuits.

    Dodgy trade pictures for your amusement! - 1 Million Views!

    Switching arrangement in bedroom

    Why not just feed the TV socket from the socket circuit via a 20A switch on a single plate positioned adjacent to the light switch. No need to mix it up with the lighting.
