Now here's what happened...
we've had a couple of showers in the last few days. Not heavy showers though. Yesterday morning onwards we got electric shocks from our taps. We all had such stressful moments when we wanted to operate any of our taps.
After a good investigation we realised late this afternoon this 40 year old wiring of this house had been nibbled by rodents...
We're not sure if it is rat, shrew or the squirrel however.
When there is strong sun the taps are alright and when the weather is damp the taps come alive !!!
