Totally agree re: prices local versus Temu or Amazon etc. I purchase quite a few items from these and quality is certainly better than it was ten years ago. Where your books etc are on the toilet bulkhead, I would look at making a hinged door (ply or get some Multiboard) then you can mount your switches, Solar regulators etc on the door giving you enough depth behind for clearance. All your wiring can then be hidden behind door and tidied up with some spiral loom or other. Out of little fingers way lol. Cheers.
Some great ideas, yes little fingers are wonderful and given I need to tidy up the house-bank-wiring could be a good opportunity to do that. A felt and do feel a bit guilty over the on-line purchases, but ........anything a bit more expensive I'll certainly consider shopping locally, quality certainly has improved,
Re temu, i no you said good on mitre 10 for replacing your vax , when you return a product to temu they are very quick aswell as you only return to Auckland postage paid,just a thought for you keep up the great videos.
Thanks, pleased I am not alone here, just purchased some resin-double-lined shrink-tubing on sale from Smart-Marine for about 1 third of the usual cost, when freight is factored in....10 metres of 4.5mm, 7.5 and 12.7, (by memory) more than enough for most re-wiring jobs and will keep me going on this old girl the resin etc will seal new connections nicely for the damp and salt-air...pleased to get a great deal from a non-overseas companystuf
@@bilgerat711 Don't mind paying a reasonable markup to a NZ retailer but the more stuff I buy from Temu the more I see the same items sold here with huge markups
whats behind the wall... you could go backwards and cover it in the other room.. give you a nice wooden front flush with the wall... easier to come out the front, if you do, I'd come out to the edge of the window border on the left and build a really nice cabinet front and a rounded edge on the out side corner... beautiful mate...👍 yeah nah on second thoughts I'd go backwards into the room behind and keep the front flush with the wall
Unfortunately the head is directly behind the wall, toilet and shower and to baton out this area would mean a lot of work and moving of the toilet, reduction of area, not a huge area, but thanks I did have a think about it and not yet off the table as a possibility
@@bilgerat711 there wouldnt need to be much hanging though... just a wee box over a couple of switch wires or what ever... but yeah so many possibilities...

Yep-Agree with all those comments regarding purchasing off Temu.

@@stevescoffeecart all good food for thought, sometime you can get a bit tunnel-vision and miss obvious solutions to a problem
