Ok, Job finished! (bar fixing a few bits of timber to support a couple of the cables.
I'll let you loose on these!
If you remember the beginning of the thread, I had 9 or 10 cables all coming into a few choc blocks and left exposed:

Aim was to enclose it all. Initially I just bought a 6 terminal Junction Block- but it was soon apparent it wasn't going to fit. To reduce the number of cables going in, I worked out what was what. I had a spur off to a shower pump and another unknown cable which I decided would be best left connected.
I identified the feed cable and fitted 3 additional 5A junction boxes in appropriate locations for their purpose. (You can only see 2 in this, the third is on the angled part of the truss. I plan to fit some struts to support the cables which drop down a short length to the joists.

This one allowed me to fit some lighting in the loft. I've provided 2 x 4ft Thorn Pop Packs up there for now. I realise taking loft lighting off the upstairs lighting isn't the BEST idea, but I also have a lead light up there- hopefully I won't need to tend to this wiring in a hurry!

This is where the cable for the shower pump now joins the circuit.

View media item 27232 View media item 27233This is for the "unknown" cable. I decided it was best left connected in case it was related to the alarm.
I now had a feed, a tail end for the landing light, a supply cable for the transformer for the 12V downlights in the en suite, 2 switch cables for fan and light and 1 and a half cables off to the fan! (The previous engineer had used 2 lengths of twin and earth (utilising only the red as the permanant live) instead of using 3 core and earth. He also hadn't fitted a 3-pole switch, so I dealt with that by running it all in properly in 3 core and earth.

So, just to wire up the final junction box!
