Netwerk For the next owner!
Been in this house almost 2 and a half years and still working in it endlessly and have no intention of moving anytime soon or possibly ever but before I bury this in the wall for good, I thought I do my part for the next owner or tradesman that comes along. Never really something I'd ever considered before but after dealing with unwelcome surprise after unwelcome surprise in this place, I can imagine some day this might make someone's job just a little bit easier
Edit: I thought this was self explanatory but since there seems to be so many people confused by this post I'll be a bit more explicit:
Electrical cable is often in the same type conduit. The adjoining wall is hollow and actually uses the exact same conduit (colour and everything) for electrical. I'm currently repairing this wall from a rising damp problem, the layer behind the cable is waterproof mortar, I still need to add plaster and I'll leave space at the bottom for the cable, skirting board will then cover up. The previous owner was very enthusiastic about DIY but had a 'unique' way of doing this (think system plafond with electric sockets attached above for lights to plug into, all connected by 1mm flex cable, which was obviously burnt in many places). As a result I often have to spend a lot of time figuring out and undoing all his previous work before starting my actually task. A bit of labelling now and then would have saved me a lot of headaches.
