This weekend has been another busy time, and expensive.
We've had the whole house rewired and a new consumer unit installed so our electricians have been staying with us since Saturday morning.
We began experiencing electrical issues with outlets and lights. Even LED lights were giving up the ghost.
Our electricians are both trusted friends of the family and fully qualified.
To say they were horrified at the way the electrics had been installed over the years was an understatement. Hence the decision to 'start again from scratch'
Thank goodness for our local Wilcon store who have good ranges of everything we needed. Wilcon is a great store which can be quite expensive due to the brand they stock.
If you know exactly what you want and you know the price range it's possible to actually save money.
Hopefully it'll all be finished soon and we'll have time to take them out go for dinner.
The new consumer has 14 branches/circuit breakers and is properly assigned with power.
The previous arrangement looked like a pigs intestines.
Next major project will be plumbing, although I will do most of that myself.
At least with plumbing you can see if something's not right so always plenty of second chances![]()
