Back on the self-build waggon...

I have seen plenty worse, but that is not good.

 

All junction boxes that are hidden should be maintenance free which means Wago or similar and must be inside a junction box rather than just open connections.

 

You will need to leave gaps around the downlights, which is one reason I personally hate them in a ceiling with a cold loft space above it.

Me too. I’ve got some of the down lighter boxes from loft legs to put over them.

 

i knew it was bad the wiring, but have never had it all uncovered at the same time to see just how bad it actually is, quite a shocker to me!

 

i chose to do this bit last as the other half of the loft has barely any wiring at all

well that’s today’s haul, all the redundant wiring no longer needed. Think I’ve got it all, hardly anything up in the loft now, will stick a picture up in a minute

 

still plenty to do but getting there

 

 

Almost there, just the boarding, and a little bit more insulation to go down!

got loft boarded out this weekend, and had installed a new longer ladder to reach the new deck. I know the MVHR duct work needs to be changed to rigid at some point!
