I do know how to solder. :-)

However, if I try to certify the electrical installation, I would have 
to redo them, meaning rewire the second floor (first floor in EU) 
entirely. And unless I certify, the electricity company refuses to 
increase the Amps, which is why my house is limited to 10A.

Instead, I'll move house.
