They’re like that in this apartment we’re renting and I keep seeing them elsewhere. I don’t get it.

    Do they have the wiring on the outside of the houses so it’s easier to repair?
    I’ve heard in UK they tend to do such things.

      No, it’s usually buried in the wall behind the plasterboard. Although it is possible to use surface trunking. It’s quicker and therefore cheaper to use trunking with less making good afterwards

        It was a joke on UK putting water pipes on the outside of their houses.
        Making them sometimes freeze and burst in the winter, but it’s easier to repair. 😋

          Well duh, they freeze and burst in winter so they obviously need to be outside for easier repair! Think of the mess they would make if they were inside the walls.
