Stll, makes a change from hacking holes in walls for new wiring
New wiring !.. Hope you have informed the local council ( see my other post re 'Part P').
The rain ... In Derbyshire we've had a fair share of heavy rain and other areas share as well !...with some local flooding .
In our village the main road can turn into a river within 20 mins after very heavy rain, for 11 years we ran the village shop which is located on the main road .
we had several floods in them 11 years, but with a bit of luck it only came to within half an inch of coming into the shop.
The problem is there is a brook that runs under the road and when that get full up we flood, our house is up the hill from the main road so we have always been ok.
