prescribed zones

So much for them!

Just drilled thru the upstairs lights supply while fitting a stair gate, nowhere near a zone I'm aware of and the house is only 15 years old!

Can think of better ways to be spending my Sunday, 'buss mans holiday' springs to mind!

Ive been wiring my house for 7yrs now ironic that the regs has changed more than the circuits ive completed...

Enjoy

Nice! At least it tripped and didn't make the stair gate live.

Bummer! Now I know you don't need a smart a**e coming on giving you grief, but I have an image of you drilling below a light switch to fit the frame of the gate. Now if that's not the case, then you have every right to feel miffed:yes:

Once found a double s shaped part of a ring in the middle of a wall once. That was impressive when the mini grinder went through it - twice!

bet it was above the CU downstairs which , of course, you can't see from where you were.

I see loads of diagonal cables in walls. Thankfully, mostly when ripping them out.

most of the cables i find are flattish round ones.

Polo1 I think I can feel smug in this case though after Telectrix comment am feeling slightly less so as they are in line with the the DB, albeit on a different floor of the house.
Still think its bad practise tho!
