We could post up a “calendar girls” style naked photo shoot to get those views up.

We are currently re-wiring a run down house, just your average 3 bed end terrace. Everything inside it electrically pointed to it being some sort of old commercial business, EM lights dotted about for one. but according to the new owner it wasn't, he said an old bloke lived there that was a bit mad, nothing shows up on Streeview either showing it anything but a house. I could have taken many more photos of things but this is the sort of stuff he got up to apparently.

That one is my favourite, screwed to the underneath of a floorboard, fed in alarm cable so maybe some sort of booby trap.

Secuirty light switching

Cables everywhere, these were for the CCTV

Backdoor

All that was left of the shed, it was full of electronic stuff apparently, would have loved to have a look around it but it was gone before we turned up.

And lastly a bit of switch wiring

Looks normal but it was years old and wired about 30 years ago or more, those cables are twin and earths, not 3 cores with the grey cut out. Where the hell did he get black and brown cable from?

Saw this for sale and soon realised the seller had the terminology wrong…

Battery… not “wireless”…. Or does it need to be connected to local Wi-Fi or mobile data??

 

[brianmoooore]

Not the current normal usage of "wireless", but if it can be described as cordless (an imported US term?), it surely can alternatively be described as wireless.

Very nice. Lucien would have definitely been interested in that one.
