When I was an apprentice, we rewired about 300 3bed council houses, got a bloody good handle on house bashing, it was a great laugh fond memories.

Nope it was all mini turk for switch drops, and all surface pattresses for sockets and switches on this particular job. Gang of 3 we were knocking them out in a day, no testing back then. (just being honest)lol

Yep some jobs we pulled through cavity wall, done it loads on my own jobs, before the cavity boys filled them up.

No Clark Of Works would allow cables in cavities, it could compromise the drip on the cavity ties, bad practice even back in the 60's.

Interesting, have rewired many property's of that era with rubber cables in cavity walls on big housing estates, so was it deemed bad practice back then, IMO not.

Well some clark of works must of allowed it otherwise you would not have a cable in a cavity in the first place.

Not good practice to run cables in cavities. Not saying it wasn't done though.

The now defunct Clark of Works could not be in all place's at the same time, cowboy electricians will do whatever they can to make their life easier including running cables where they should not be.

Gave you a like, because that was a well recovered reply.

I did not think I had anything to recover from.
