    Outside light visible wires

    It just looks wrong for wire exposed outside like that when having a rewire. My wife is very upset so we've asked for it to be taken down. Any idea how much it would cost to get it done property without exposed wires?

    I am very annoyed that he tells me on the day that he is supposed to connect everything that he wants to put my boiler beside the stairs and on top of it he wasn't even going to put a flush unit. Looks horrible there. Is it difficult, and what would it entail to extend the wires and move it...
