    Why would you box in the fuse box?

    If you need access to it in a power cut, how the hell are you going to get in it? Hack the wall out?

    There may also be regulations regarding that - I would consult someone who is in the know such as a qualified electrician, or someone may be along soon with some more information, but that is the most stupid thing I've heard all week.

    A little harsh....

    Box it in by all means BUT ensure you can access it - i.e. put some doors on, or a removable panel.
    Also ensure that an electrician would be able to remove the face of the box for access purposes.

    I presume you meant this by boxing in anyway ;D

    HTH
