    Bathroom pull switch

    There is a hole in the concrete so I'm thinking the best way would be to use Wago connectors (push in type) and then dot & dab the ceiling so the cable can be run as I've taken off the old plaster (approx 8m thick) and the D&D would be more then enough to allow me to run the cable across the...
