Behold: Elastic Trickery!

May 23, 2006 on 10:49 pm | In Home sweet home |

The electrician arrived at the house today to connect our new consumer unit, so finally — two years after moving in, and four months after making-do with just two double sockets and no lighting — we have the electrics configured the way we want them. Hurrah!

I still can’t quite believe that our house had such a poor provision of plug sockets given that it was only built in 1985. Basically, we had a double socket in each room, with a couple extra in the lounge and kitchen. Guess they didn’t use as many gadgets back then!

The installation went quite smoothly despite (or maybe because of) us doing most of the wiring ourselves, so I think it’s a big pat on the back for myself and Paula, and my dad and two brothers for helping out. Cheers guys!
