First Electrical Fix Finished

Here is proof - the 14 way consumer unit in the extension is live and connected only to the two double power sockets for now so that we have power.


My word we were lucky to be able to get Settle electrician Steve Dinsdale at short notice who had a rare few days availability between jobs.   An amazingly neat and thorough job he has done too.   We had devised a wiring plan but with all his experience he has been able to see to things we had forgotten about.  Best of all he has been able to exploit the ease of wiring opportunities inherent in this type of building without going way over the top with 'future-proofing'.   The future seems to involve far fewer wires, not more!

Meanwhile, the inside of the building appears to be drying out nicely from its soaking with October rains.  The worry though is that water remains trapped within the ceiling / roof space with no means of escape.  I have therefore invested in moisture and humidity meters and an endoscope camera to do a though check on things

Architect Stuart Green came by at the weekend to inspect the roof and to discuss the design of the external metal staircase.
