My New Study

Ok Conduiting all in.... Tomorrow hopefully comes the plastering so I can start putting part of the room back together

The larger 32mm conduit is solely for network cabling, and each 32mm conduit can take at least 8 cables comfortably, probably closer to 12 before they start getting tight.

Nope its not.... Trust me, I checked on that many many moons ago :)..

Hopefully I can get most of the rough plastering done tomorrow..

The wiring is going to be interesting though. Need to get the right gauge cable to run 9 plug points on....

My only frustration so far has been the inability to get either HDMI wall plugs at a reasonable cost, or dual ethernet, power sockets....

Right... figured I should resurrect this one...

Double garage/workshop addition is nearing completion (just needs to be painted and the garage door installed), so I've moved back to this project which has been standing for a good few months due to lack of time.

Spent the weekend skimming the walls where it was needed and sanding down. Word of warning, sanding down rhinolite is the crappest job on the planet. Its starting to look like a completed room again thankfully.
Biggest jobs left are finishing off the skimming/sanding of the walls, the electrics and then painting and flooring.

I'm hoping that I can make significant progress on this and get close to finishing by the end of this month. Will take a photo or two when I get home and post on this thread.
 
Did some work this weekend on this... getting much closer to it being finished now. I pretty much have to do the flooring, getting the lighting right, and get some kind of window covering.

This thread makes me wish I had Intermediate DIY skills.

I have to use Google to help me rewire a plug or recharge my car battery because I am a useless shell of a man.

Oddly enough, this project hasn't required massive DIY skills just yet.

Clearing the room out was easy, hammer, chisel and rotary hammer were all that was needed. The door I had installed by someone else (would ahve taken me too long to figure it out, and I wasn't prepared to have a huge gaping hole in my house for that long)

The electrics proved to be a bit of a problem for about 30 minutes this weekend, all because one of the neutral bars in my DB board seems to introduce a dead short into any circuit wired into it, will have to figure that out in time)

The patch panel in the cabinet required a bit of though, but thats all wired in now (hopefully I got the wiring the right way, again time will tell).

The floor I fear will take a relatively large amount of DIY skills since I've never attempted it before so might make a mistake or two along the way.
 
Ok, to keep spamming my own thread :P

One issue I've got that I'm battling to solve. When I bought the wallbox, it only came with rails in the front and I want a set of rails in the back. Anyone know where I can source a set of 15U rails from at not ridiculous money?

Rack Rails being these things :

Try get a scrapped rack then and cut your own rails to spec if possible.
 
Oh sod off.. don't give me more ideas... This has been a big enough project on its own :p
