    Leak through bathroom light fitting

    Hello, I live in a flat and the flat above me had a burst pipe in their bathroom late overnight and water poured down through my bathroom light fitting into my bathroom for over an hour or more I would say. A plumber came out and has fixed the leak and the water has finally stopped coming through my light. I've turned off the power for the light at the mains, it is one switch for all lights in the flat. I wanted to check how long should I let the power stay off for to dry out the light fitting and should I avoid taking a shower in case it adds extra moisture or would that not be a problem? The light fitting is a 4 bulb spotlight fitting so I don't think any water actually got into the electric wiring part it was all coming through gaps around the bulbs. Thank you in advance

    Can I have carvings made out of the remains of my trees?

    I recently saw on the news that a felled tree was carved into a hand at Lake Vrnwy in Wales. If I have a felled tree on my property, is it possible/allowed to have a carving made of its remains or is this only allowed in special circumstances such as the aforementioned case? I do not have any felled trees currently but some are old and I was curious to know. Thanks!
