    Normally the house just catches fire and burns down.
    not surprising going by what i seen of the wiring, far too many extensions leads, plugs that wont stay in the socket due to slack fitting, the weight of the plug slowly works its way out, twisted together and taped wires inside the mains box,no terminal blocks in there,infact no mains fuse box as such,done by the electric company, loose wires and connections cause fires

    After 8 years of using cold water from a bucket the novelty wore off.

    Where we live the temperature drops below 20 at night in the winter months. Have thought about investing in a heater!
