They look great Malc, and I’ll be stealing that idea for mine as I was only looking at them the other day and wondering how on earth I was going to ceiling mount them!

My panels had 4 hook eyes screwed to the frames. If yours do, I have some spare cup hooks and key rings if you're interested!

I think mine came with them as a separate item in the packaging and I was wondering how in earth they were supposed to work if they were screw brackets...

I think I have some thanks but will check and let you know, cheers.

I might fit an empty length of mini-trunking along the rest of the ridge, just to cover it.

Nope, not yet.

I've wired all the trunking for the lighting, the 13a ring sockets and the two 16a radials' commando sockets.

They've to be connected to the CU next. Then the test and sign off should occur.

(My fingertips ain't 'alf sore from wiring all them sockets!)

Thanks, Phil.

You popping over for a snifter with us, then?!

First I've got to get it signed off. Then I've got to fit a plywood floor over the OSB, and paint a finish on it, as yet undecided.

Then I've got Phase 2 to start - a deck going out from the double doors with a pitched roof over, intersecting with the 'shop roof.

I've got an old school friend who is a Local Councillor in London. She's offered to buy a new hat and a pair of scissors if I get some ribbon!

I'm aiming for September!

Whilst there are photos available, I think they would break the forum rules and as a responsible moderator, I could not possibly publish them! :lol:
