So far, temporary power on surface run cables (ie builders and me can see
them). 2 lights so far, will add more next weekend, do a final "Megger" on
the whole lot and write out an electrical installation cert which will
prove useful in dealings with EDF. Then I'll be able to kill off the old CU
completely. At least we have RCDs now...

Worked like a demon yesterday to drain down heating, chop off and cap off 4
radiators + bath and refill heating and check for leaks. Also move bolier
over to a fused spur from temp socket circuit to make walls safe for Pete
the Builder to put a diamond cutter though some of them for doorway
alterations. Got home at 1am, ate and bed at 2:30 (good film on telly). Now
I am dead, so please excuse bad typing.

Pete and Darren of Broadbeech Builders,Tunbridge Wells, have been very busy
digging new drains. As there were so many drain alterations, I asked them
to run a completely new set with 3 pits, and they managed to maintain a
connection to the old drains so the loo still works (hurrah).

I'm glad I subbed this bit out - along with the building of new walls. Until
I go full time on this project in Feb 2009, it's nice to see some leaps in
progress that I couldn't manage myself at such speed.

There are a couple of questions spinning off from this, but I'll ask those
later whern I'm awake.

Cheers

Your late nights sound like my father who bought an old Scottish house
near Edinburgh in 1953, and would come home from work, have his tea
and then travel 12 miles to work on the property which had nothing
done to most of it since the 1750's. It took 4 years to make it
partially habitable. Childhood memories of walking across open floor
joists and pulling cables through conduits.
