Walked Jed the dog on a long lead from Chris's along Riverside Road to Bush Road again and return. Very windy & chilly. Had to hold my cap on and only had to chase it a few times.
Drove with Chris to Dunedin to get the materials to renew the electrics. Mains and 24Volts. Visited numerous shops without complete succes, but had more ideas after visiting the warrant inspector in Mosgiel.
Returned to Chris's to check the wiring runs and discuss the routing of the new cables.
