Right ... Just been nudged to set this up by Paul.M and sounds a good idea following recent threads I've done in the Arms..

Rules....No Offensive material... edit if required before posting as this is the public arena.
Anything to do with the trade or in and around it ...H&S pic's welcome.



I've posted this a few times and this is at a mates house following a kitchen refirb several yrs ago. mg_smile:

Two industrial units. Namely Unit 1 and Unit 2... Used to be all one site with one electric supply, but now split.
Unit 1 has had a sub meter put in to measure the electric Unit 2 uses until they get a dedicated supply put in by Scottish Power.
