Watch out for the wolf ....................... im sorry couldnt ressist it

look out for what you have to fix your back boxes to could require additional fire protection

Seen this on grand designs. All cabling was in pyro/fp200 not only for potential fire/heat but for the attack from rats!

It may be worth while checking out what the insurance company would like before they take on that liability. Just a thought.
