RE: Cabling the house

["Mark Kaye" <mark@xxxxxxx>]

I am considering cutting some of the chipboard up with a shallow
circular saw before nailing it back down again.  Obviously before the
carpets go in!  Not sure if that will help.  To be honest I was gutted
about the situation and haven't really thought about it much.  I was
going to floodwire but given the task (it took me 2 days to route 8
cables in my current place after being built) I don't think I'll be
patient enough not to cut corners - a very bad thing.

Ohh well.  Any advice welcome.
