Well, some of the boarding isn't down, some is down but coming up

fittings at the front of the house which are boarded over. I will
also (I have just realised) have to sort out ducting for the
ceiling fan(s) in the bathroom coming up through the floor. Could
do cutouts but a hole saw might be easier.

Just how often do you think you'll need access for 'maintenance'? I
rewired this place some 40 years ago and haven't done any maintenance
on the wiring since. Of course if you decide to alter the lighting -
like say add extra lights or move them - an access trap only over the
existing won't be that much help.

That is proof you are not married:-) One of the first jobs I did when I
moved into this place was sink the coax into the wall that was just clipped
down the wall. I made good and redecorated. I sat down to watch TV with the
wife and she said "can I have the TV in that corner" whilst pointing to
another corner of the lounge.
