Hi Gavin,

Thanks Wendy, as usual a goldmine of info from you! Wonder what this forum would do without you...

I was going to re-direct you to a relevant thread within the New Zealand forum but I see its already been done.
There are a couple of other sparkies on the NZ site that you might want to chat with.
Look forward to seeing you pop in.

electrical work , like other trade and construction work is regulated here in NZ. You would need to obtain a licence to work within the trade. Not to do so would be illegal .
