Real Estate nightmares (Vol 2)
Discussion
I'm a bit behind so apologies if already posted but given the previous sale has fallen through does anyone fancy the old home of an eccentric hoarder that married his dog?
Note: It comes with the dead body of the gentleman in question.

There's a bit more insight to be had here (warning: Daily Mail) and here but it looks like his modded Kia Rio is still parked up and comes with the deal.

On streetview it didn't look too bad on historic images from 2009 and 2012. Note: It comes with the dead body of the gentleman in question.

Offers above £1 Million for "A Scandinavian designed architectural masterpiece" that looks like its not been touched since the 70's apart from the modern kitchen!

To me it looks like the a house thrown up in the 60's and 70's in the new towns like Telford (where i'm from)

Yeah... "Designed by a Scandinavian" isn't the same as "Scandinavian Design".https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/118831784#/...

Years ago I did some work on some houses on Blackheath which had been completely wired in pyro, just because the architect liked the copper (which didn't help much when one of the kitchens had a fire
), and he had covenanted the hell out of the houses so that everything had to go back exactly as original. The main structure of the houses was poured concrete and ironically it turned out (after I spoke to BICC) that if you use pyro clipped to a concrete environment, you should use the sheathed stuff because concrete and copper don't get on very well long-term.Doofus said:
What's pyro?
Mineral-insulated copper-clad cable, MICC for short and generally known as pyro (short for pyrotenax). The copper conductors are inside a thin copper tube which is filled with some sort of inert mineral as the insulator. Can be (PVC?) sheathed or not. Used for it's fire resistance in areas where that is a risk. You have to cap off the ends with pots (glands) so it'f a faff to fit. Very long time since I used it though!

Thank you. I knew about the fire resistant stuff, but assumed you were talking about something else.Gassing Station | Homes, Gardens and DIY | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
