23. Previous owners of my house decided to screw a window blind to the live wire..

Decorating my new house after getting the keys last week, got a weird ‘tingle’ from the metal blind over the patio door, removed it and it seems they mounted it through a plastic duct and caught the live on the ring main for the sockets in the room.. looks like it’s been getting hot for a while! Glad I found it before worse things happened but still annoying! Rule of thumb, sockets are usually wired from the ceiling, and buy a damn voltage / stud finder!
