Well Alan,
The house is re-wired and I'm happy. [Linked Image]
It took me a day and a half.
Hardest part was the lighting circuits (as they always are).
First re-wire I've done in a while and with the way my knees feel at the moment, It'll be the last in a while too.
I also ran a new Main earth lead as well, I went to test the wiring when I finished and found out that the wire at the switchboard and the wire at the Earth stake, were two different bits of wire. [Linked Image]
At that stage of the game, I'd lost my patience and wasn't going to muck around tracing it.
I did however pull the old wire at the stake and about 3-4 metres came out of the wall.
Oh well, I was very well fed though!. [Linked Image]


{Edit:
Alan,
Speaking of hot water, I remember when I was doing my time, there was a local plumber here in town that got into a whole heap of (no, I'm going to use that pun [Linked Image]) trouble after he drained a Hot water cylinder onto the customers newly laid Ready-turf lawn, which promptly killed a big patch of it.
You'd think a plumber would know better}
