Builder Or Electrician Please.

[gness]

I'm spending a rainy day knocking tiles off a kitchen wall with the intention of re-plastering and papering.
A tile I've just knocked off has exposed an oblong of formica set back slightly. It's the same size as a double plug socket and about a foot higher and to the right of an existing socket.

I'm thinking a socket has been moved but when I've had this done in the past a metal plate has been put over the redundant socket.......but is this method acceptable?
Or am I right in suspecting this could be a rough diy job.....and may not be safe?

So....an electrician in do you think?

Wow....I just typed....You're right....home and garden is the place for chatting but Auntie with her spoon scares me....

When my internet crashed....some powers those gnomes have... :-(

[-Talbot-]

I've put you a song up on mamya's thread, gness.

[Baldric]

Tiptoes away quietly, stage left!

[gness]

You hang about now, Baldric...if Talbot's going to start playing love songs for me......you're RM....remember that.....stand firm.....I may need you....

Thanks, Talbot.....you're sweet underneath.....well underneath what I don't know...and I haven't looked yet.....x

[Ann]

Gosh Gness it sounds as if you should have prised the plate off the wall, put Talbot behind it together with the live wires and cemented it up again! ;)

Are you joking Talbot or do you take delight in being so patronising towards Gness?

[Baldric]

There's a limit to how long one can stand firm when approaching the Midnight Hour, especially from the left to be fair!

[gness]

Oh he does it all the time, Ann......but I don't mind....and there'd have been no room for Talbot and the wires...though switching on the blender might have been fun....

Poppycock, Baldric...a wounded RM.....bearing up to being stalked by me....you have no limits!

[pusskin]

Well said Ann!!!! I'd have cemented him in long ago.

Ten out of ten for being a wind up merchant!!!

[Ann]

Obviously he doesn't think a woman is capable of doing DIY ;)

[gness]

Now you're all making me laugh....honestly....I just don't get wound up, here or in my life........but I do love to pull some legs along the way.... :-)

But the thought of Talbot cemented behind so many kitchen walls has tickled me.....xx

[Baldric]

And you have to take into account you're talking about my Mate Bill
there as well.

[pusskin]

Ha ha ha Guess

[gness]

Look, Balders....if you're going to go all soft because I tease your mate, Bill I will have to rethink my stalking victim.....x

[Baldric]

Oh, he'll survive!

[gness]

Stalking back on.....♥

[Ann]

//Awww....and it's my birthday too :0( //

Really? Shame you are not in my little AB birthday book then!
Hope you have had birthday fun winding everyone up!! :)

[mrs.chappie]

Well I feel sorry for him and I'm gonna put up a thread especially for him.

[gness]

Evening Mrs Ch.....you commented on Sunny Dave.....I passed it on and he thanks you....

Now who do you feel sorry for.....Talbot because I tease him...or Baldric because I stalk him?...x

[-Talbot-]

Don't make it a Happy Birfday one, Mrs C....I was fibbing.
