While renovating a bathroom, I came across the original wiring in the

Looks DIY to me.
Very rarely would a professional be paid for the time to do that.

Now I have to live up to this for mine. But at least I have a good

They should all be done like that, and don't take any time at all if the
tricks are punched in to the trainee frrom the start. Well.........They
should still be punched into the apprentice...........They were when I was.

Knowing the previous owners by repute, I pretty sure they didn't DIY
it, but there are other non-prof pointers, some of the plumbing was
very amateurish. It could have been an apprentice's test job, of course.
