Just discovered that my gas meter is not earth bonded. I know that I need to run 10mm earth cable from the pipe on the house side of it to the earth point on the consumer unit. Ought to be fairly straightforward as the meter is in a cupboard at ground level in the porch and the CU under the stairs only about 4 metres away.
Floor is T&G boards on joists but on the line of the bottom of the stairs. So, I am wondering whether I can do this without lifting too many boards in the cramped space, around stairs and under newly fitted carpet.
So do you guys have little tricks for getting cable over short distances by lifting small sections of floorboard at each end?
A pet mouse with string tied to its tail perhaps? Some kind of long flexible wire? Endoscopic camera ?
All suggestions welcome.
Cheers John
