what's this fix for this little fuck up, other than opening up the wall (wood cladding and OSB on the outside, plaster board & PIR on the inside)?
I drilled a hole, and completely neglected to consider the live wires just on the other side.
The short can from the drill bit itself - there's no (apparent) short in the wire now.
Obvs I'd rather not open the wall up, which would be a giant pain, but I'd also rather not burn down the entire building by bodging an unsafe fix.
