We live in a 3 story mini terrace home. The middle floor was originally 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and a toilet room. We have now knocked down the wall between the two bedrooms to make it into one master bedroom. Before the wall came down, each of the 2 bedrooms had a PowerPoint and a ceiling fan with light (both have stopped working and replacements have been purchased. We need a licensed electrician to help install the replacement ceiling fans, and help move the existing PowerPoints a few meters away to the now adjoining wall. We would also like 1 new Power point installed on the ceiling to power a ceiling mounted projector, this isn’t essential and is dependant on cost.
