I think I have made an error of judgement.
I hadn't decided where exactly I wanted my electrical run to (I wanted it at the back so all the boards and stuff was out of the way and not visible), so couldn't decide whether to run it through the slab or after the shed is built (reason for this was so i could decide exactly where I wanted it to go after eyeballing inside the shed). Work got in the way, and then I got a few days notice from the concreters, so that stuffed that up.
Talking to my electrician briefly months ago, he said no worries we can just run the conduit up next to the slab and poke it in between the shed and slab. Problem is, the walls will be horizontal coro, not vertical, so I think that means and conduit will sit proud of the wall. Even worse if a junction box goes on the exterior.
There is approximately 1.1 m from the front corner of the slab to where the sliding door will be, and the cable will go in somewhere there (in the yellow shaded area). That grassy area between the slab and the house (so everything in the foreground) will be concreted as well. I don't know the elevation of the concrete or how far it will come up the slab.
My main concern now is having an electrical install that is going to look untidy with a conduit that runs a fair distance up the wall, sitting proud of the horizontal coro, plus having everything concreted. I haven't spoken to my electrician yet to deal with specifics other than the trench, but
- are there ways to make this discrete? Junction box on inside, entry point as low down and close to slab as possible?
- is it possible to drill a hole in the slab, trench underneath, feed conduit in and then backfill, or has that horse bolted and its just wishful thinking?
Or am I over thinking this and the whole thing can be hidden with a strategically placed pot plant?
