On Friday I went over to see a friend of mine,she's had a lot of problems lately and is having to move house,anyway she's bought this new place in Southport and funnily enough it's a house I've often looked at as I've driven passed.So she rang me and asked me if I could check the electrics over for her as she wants to know it's all safe,So I said I'd pop over and do an EICR for her.the house was built about 15 years ago and apart from a bit of bodged wiring in the garage it looked fine,so I started testing and that was ok too.Now wanting to do a really good job I decided to poke about in the loft,it was all boarded out and had a couple of lights fitted.I looked around and noticed a piece of flexi duct not attached to anything but it went to a soffit vent,the bathroom fan was connected so it wasn't off that.Then I noticed a load of staples in the rafters,very odd I thought so I carried on poking about,folded up in a corner was a large piece of black polythene,and inside it was a load of silver plastic sheet,the plot thickens.Moving into the garage I poked about in the rubbish and found some plastic pipe and fittings,then a bag of some mossy stuff,like compost but it wasn't then the clincher,a large SON lamp.Suddenly it dawned on me obviously the previous owner had had a grow in the loft!It just shows that you don't only find them in small scruffy terraced houses,this was a large four bed semi in a very nice area,maybe that's how they afforded it. lol
