Oof yeah, appreciate it. It happened this morning and it was my first rodeo and I was totally unprepared as I’d worken up late (dead phone) so whatever notes and planning I had planned to go over that morning just went out the window.
Still, I got 600 pounds less which is 400 pounds more than I wanted to negotiate, but I’ll take it. Took a few arrows too in the sense that quick fixes he would have happily done are now up to me to do, so I need to get up a ladder this weekend for some emergency grouting, and also need to fix the wonky electrics. Ah, whatever it’s done
Be safe! Not much good saving money if you get hurt. You sound like you know what you’re doing, though. I’d be a bad Uncle Fester cosplay in ten seconds flat if I screwed with the electric.
Yeah, my fuseboard is a weird one too – there’s technically two: one from the 80s and one from the 00s, and the master kill switch after the meter or before the meter simply doesn’t exist. No RCD breakers for killing sudden surges.
If there was a master switch, I’d feel less nervous - follow a youtube video on how to junction a circuit, switch it on / switch it off to test. Without… hmm, I might just get an electrician

Egad… Don’t die on me!
