Does that include fitted carpets on which are shelving units bolted to

No problem. I have a Stanley knife and a staple gun in the toolbox. I
did have to cut through a downstairs ceiling to get to one beneath the
floorboards and under a bath though.

If so, thats *crazy* - a junction box buried in painted plaster would
be far easier to get at.

Seen lots of those too. I've even met one with a gas cooker connector
screwed through it as well.

I'm sure Douglas Adams would have loved Part P.

So would Kafka.
