... to add a socket in my daughters bedroom.

Well, more like 3 hours to do it, but 3 years to get around to doing it

I started to rewire my house 7years ago,

I still havent done the upstairs lights, or the main bedroom, or finished the lads bedroom,,,,

or finished the downstairs lights,,,,,,

some circuits are still off the old 3036 board,,  :slap

Should have done that bit first, and stuck a bit of tape around the other end. Sorted.

5 years ago I had a few days with no work on the books so decided  to install an alarm .   Panel on the wall with the front off  , wiring in,  the phone went with a job and thats as far as it went .

i probably should have, since the loft has now been partially boarded, so its probably going to have to be extended to reach a light in a different room that is accessible...

My second house was like that.  I rewired each room as I renovated and decorated it.  I had two radial socket circuits for nearly 3 years before they finally met to make a ring.

Tiled the kitchen 2 years ago new circuit for pelmet lights. pelmet lights still waiting to go on indeed so is the pelmet :innocent  & after a quick check the dishwasher fcu is still waiting for me to put in longer screws (dont worry it's hidden behind the toaster out of view).
