It looked very industrial but he did not have any cables chewed after the rewire. Now that's a thought :) I have highset Queenslander. Have removed half the insulation, but can hear the rats in the other half where the ceiling is flush near the corrogated roof and has insulation. Their days are numbered in there, as insulation will be gone once I remove the iron sheets to wire inside cavities. Speaking of running conduit outside through living area, I had issue with the wall switch cable circuits that feed to the ceiling lights throughout house. The old Queenslander in most areas can't be wired and hidden in internal spaces. Actually have ready to install a set of remote controlled wall switches with a dimmer function that link to the programmable LED controllers via WiFi. Switches run off a 2032 coin battery with low standby current draw. Wanting to impress the missus on this one, as she will be able to control lights in home from her phone or use voice command directly through a Gateway without internet access to work....now that was fun sourcing lol, as virtually every so called smart appliance demands internet access to "phone home"..
