Feel the power..

or rather not, since the we’ve now had the house re-wired over the past couple of weeks. So all the old wiring in the original house has been removed, and replaced with new stuff, which now has good earthing, is colour-coded correctly to new standards. This means that the lighting ring with no earth is gone, the sockets no longer crackle as they now have good insulation and connections, and the frankenstein-style fusebox has been replaced by a new one.

Andy from Eleko has had his van on the front drive for awhile, and now it’s not there any more.. Hooray! Now we only need to fix the holes in the walls .. I feel like getting plastered later!
