Th blow out fuse was removed. never used it since. LOL...I think it was the neighbors fuse for their elec kettle! haha Me thinks, by the looks of it, the black tape was placed by the SP guys, to keep the lose wires together. I might give the neighbours a ring, see if they can renew the...

So there is a possibility that one family lived in both houses, and shared the costs of usage. I'm talking 20+ years ago. How common is it that the incoming could get 'Hot' and spark, triggered by high usage by the neighbours? I've not touched to check, or smelt any obvious smell coming...

Hi guys. I'm in a bit of a situation where I am trying to lease out my business premises floor space to a local business, but have an issue with the rear wall. An open flagstone yard at the front of my neighbour's house, connects to the rear of my premises. From the pictures you will...
