Number 2. Mark the location yourself on the wall with a marker.

Also, as your planning to get your mum to "make sure" he puts in a drip loop etc, be prepared to connect your existing extensions by yourself later.

Maybe she could also check he uses a sleeve on the dropwire (this peels back the tensioners so they dont cut into the copper conductors as they expand and contract)

Wrong the purpose of the sleeve is to prevent the tensioners from slipping back up the dropwire.

who told you that? have never seen the steel catenary wires "slip back up the dropwire" as it's not even possible. cut 3m of dropwire strip at each end and try it.

we were always told the reason for the sleeve was so we didn't jag our fingers on the tensioners, among other silly explanations, but a boffin from adastral park said the real reason sleeves are specified is for the expansion / contraction of steel and copper at different rates.
