thank for your replys.
maybe they dont do 110 volt on site in NZ (is this the real reason so many trades are on the skill shortage ha)
but as you say the transformers a very heavy and take up room ,we seem to end up with both voltages ,240 v for our domestic work and 110 for site.
kokopeli, we think we will end up with a do'er up'er prices have gone mad but the same is happening over here to .small plots that the builders and armys of property developers find that they can't cram 2 or 3 houses on, they sell on for about ?90,000 to ?100,000. you could get a single dwelling with a small garden on .
I dont think i will be allowed to build for some time, seem to think you have to get some cert to do that.(might be wrong, and dont know if that would be if you bought a house and had it stood up then you finish it i.e spark it plumb it board it 2nd fix carpentry .i will have to find that out)
and Taffy you are right in that its the amps that kill but the voltage has to be enougth to push it through you .
