I have eventually made up my mind to re-instate the electric heating. I had dreams of installing a multifuel stove and radiators but the only quote I had was more than I expected and definitely more than I could afford. So.......
|
now that Iain has reinstated the bathroom joists |
|
|
|
supported properly on the newel post....... |
|
|
I have started the electrics. Easy job first - make new light switch position for the hall and stair lights
Extra sockets in the bedrooms....
|
First draw round the box |
|
|
|
Then cut it out |
|
Make sure the box fits |
|
|
|
take a very loooong drill bit and drill through the bottom of the wall |
|
right into the floor cavity
|
Make a fishing wire
Look under the floor with a makeup mirror
|
|
Push a cable down the drilled hole and catch it with the fish wire
Put in as many cables as you need Replace the box Strip the wires
Et Voila!
Its three months since I started this post and no it didn't take three months to do one socket. I had the flu and then other tasks took over so it was a long time before the socket was finished. You'll have to look at the next post to see what was happening in the mean time.
