I have found a company who sells a wood carving duplicator machine, but i cant find anyone who uses it in the UK as yet. http://www.wood-carver.com/

I know it would be easier, but I like the style of the spindles and im trying to restore the house, so want to keep them if possible.

Im looking to get a full re-wire on a house and am looking for advice on how to get the best deal and what to insist on etc. Are there different types of consumer unit and any new technologies like smart meters that are worth fitting at the same time etc. Thanks

There is also an outside toilet at the end which I would like to bring inside.
