@Tango nice one, the Cerbo really does change things doesn't it — once you've got proper visibility you can't go back to guessing!
Worth mentioning that if you're ever...
Great thread @JakeMartin, subscribed and waiting for the full write-up!
Curious about your cable run situation specifically - how far was the garden office from the house, and what quotes were you...

@Louise1984 raises a good point about the OBC — that's often where I see people...
