Electricfied

We have power! The electricians finished everything on Friday and it is so very nice to walk into a room and have instant light. Glorious. They were supposed to be done on Thursday, but we were very thankful that they weren't. We've been trying to get a reduced rate on council tax based on 'major reconstructive work rendering the property uninhabitable'. So, when I went to the house on Thursday morning and saw multiple floorboards lifted, piles of wires, and great gaping holes in the ceilings, I thought, 'Aha! It is time!' The nice man from the city council stopped by half an hour later. His stay was incredibly brief. He took a few photos and reassured me, 'Oh, this is definitely uninhabitable. Not a problem here.' ....Ah, excellent?
