A kindred spirit! My builder looked at me very oddly when I said I
wanted
the bathroom light switches outside on the wall, but I was paying,
so he
shrugged and did it.

I can live with the remote possibility of somebody accidentally (or

deliberately) turning off the lights while I'm in there, if it
means
avoiding those horrible dangly bits of string :-)

But can you live with the admittedly lowish risk that someone with
really
wet hands (or the person who follows them) gets a belt from the
switch ?

So what about the light switch for the bedroom next to the bathroom?
It's just as likely that someone coming out of the bathroom with wet
hands could get a belt from there.


I hadn't thought of that since my house isn't laid out that way, but I will
now have to give some thought to making all the lights in my house operable
with no risk of electric shock
:-)

Maybe it's cos I'm about to hit 45 and I live alone, but since I'm
completely overhauling my house, it seems foolish not to make it as safe as
possible ....
