French electrics part II

Another day helping out a friend with some electrics. I fitted the last few lights and had to wire in a new circuit in the kitchen cos all the lighting wires and switches left by the previous owner were dead. A helping hand with some sink plumbing and to move a radiator in the middle of the kitchen (don't ask). At least the kitchen is operational and they can now see in the dark. It gives them a little breathing space to find a local tradesman. It's always difficult in a foreign country especially if you don't speak the language very well. I remember the massive list of jobs that needed doing to our place, but I'm very handy so I did most of it myself except we hired an electrician to safety check all the gites.
