The re-wiring and new electrics has been an ongoing project.\u00a0 As walls have been exposed and rebuilt, floors removed and repaired, I’ve been putting in\u00a0the new wiring.\u00a0 This is a job I’ve been working on under the advice of both father in laws (17th edition electricians). Complying with the latest regulations in older properties can be tricky especially if like me you want most of wiring hidden.\u00a0 Through careful planning and routing I’ve manged to do it all with only a few short runs left surface mounted. These will be covered with some timber trunking I’ve machined up.<\/p>\n

Getting someone in to work in this way, bitting and bobbing, would be either impossible or extremely expensive.\u00a0 Doing it myself as the other works have progressed has got the results I was after.\u00a0 At the momment\u00a0only the first sockets on the spurs and the lighting is wired up (or lashed up).\u00a0 This results in all the cable ends being in the right place at the old fuse board.\u00a0 I cobbled these on to the old wiring and cut off the old circuits one by one.<\/p>\n

\"Old<\/a>

Old fuseboard and tempary wiring, marked up with circuits for nave, pulpit etc. I wonder where it came from?<\/p><\/div>\n

At this point\u00a0I was confident enough to call in a favour and get a new consumer unit fitted. So thanks Paul for giving up a day of your\u00a0holiday, your future weekends away are in the bag.<\/p>\n

Neat wiring to the new consumer unit<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

I will at some point cover all the tips and tricks I discovered to conceal and make wiring neat in old house, including the trunking.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
