news A woman just told me she had her house rewired because it hadn't been
done
for 30 years. Have you ever bothered? I mean if it works, why not just
leave it? Wire doesn't rot.


30 years seems short time for a rewire unless there is also a major
refurb
going on.

I've always heard 25-30 years stated as the recommended rewiring schedule.
She was refurbishing the house BECAUSE it had just been rewired, leaving a
mess.


Don't listen to small talk.

It appears she did. And when I said I had fuses she was horrified.
