I was helping out on a rewire a few months ago, just for pin money you understand, unocupied large country house the buyer had" loads a money" to quote STAVROS.
Any how would I like to start the lighting on the ground floor? ripped all the old floor covering up, to my surprise lots of flooring traps marked lighting, lifted them up, all screwed with Brass screws, 5/8 screwed conduit with inspection "Ts" Right angles etc, a work of art, must have taken an absolute age to install, pity I had to rip as much as possible out to make way for the new PVC/PVC wiring, (hang on need to get a tissue to wipe away the tears) I wonder how many of todays DIshave come across such craftmanship, not many I bet.
