Don't cut this wire again
It goes across the front workshop wall
it costs £5000 to replace.

Was cut around 3 weeks ago, pure luck that it had enough length to splice this time. It runs the phonelines for 14 other units.

Not entirely pure luck, there was a bit of geometry involved in working out where to drill the new hole from next door to ensure enough slack. But a very kind BT engineer was happy to fix rather than replace it and put it down to "accidental damage" so no-one gets charged when he found out that we are a community workshop being built by volunteers.
My worry now is that there is another cable just the same that was cut before we got involved with the place. BT guy's advice is to tie it up above the suspended ceiling and just leave it alone. Forever. Sounds good to me.

If possible can we stick something like barrier tape along the current super expensive to fix cable, just to make it bleeding obvious when we've totally forgot about it in 6 years time. Please?
On an unrelated note I should have half a mile of "caution!" style barrier tape arriving tomorrow :)

Thanks for sorting that out Andy!
I'm sure we can come up with some way to mark it and then secure it to not be disturbed, easy enough above the suspend.

Stick it inside some cheap trunking, seal it with gaffa tape a attach "NO!" signs to the trunking. ;)
