Hello,

It would be really great if everyone here could just post one or a few pictures showing the current state of their house.

I'll start right away.

For renovations, it’s best to provide a comparison of before and after the remodeling.

Before March 2014:



After May 2015:

Well, with 5x2.5mm² (0.01 inch²) cables for the kitchen or even larger ones (e.g., high-power circuits), you’ll need a fairly thick layer of plaster to cover them properly.
The stove and oven are separate in our setup. The wiring for the stove is installed inside the drywall partition. Otherwise, a chase would be necessary here.

So far, only outlet boxes have been installed for the oven and refrigerator.

I can almost understand it with large-format bricks. But with aerated concrete blocks? Electricians are really a lazy bunch...

Maybe it’s only 11cm (4.3 inches) of Ytong, but I still prefer the solution without a slot.

@andimann very nice house.

The wall connection should have been done with a cut in the plaster; this way also works, but be careful to ensure it stays sealed after winter.

Plaster over it. Like they used to do with conduit channels. The cables just must not be too thick and need to be firmly secured, etc.

Is the plaster that thick?

The client apparently did not order surface-mounted conduits.
NYM-J 5x1.5mm (approx. 1cm (0.4 inches) thick). With only 1cm (0.4 inches) of interior plaster as the minimum thickness, that is no longer sufficient.

That’s exactly my point: always design house plans with a 10cm (4 inches) buffer, not just 3-4cm (1–1.5 inches), because that’s not enough. You’ll get really frustrated when a cabinet doesn’t fit into its niche, or the kitchen [emoji4]
