Hi All,
I'm about to plasterboard upstairs, including the bathroom.
The radiator and shower pipes all come out from stud partition walls, not he floor.
should I:
A) cutout pipe holes in plasterboard and have the pipes sticking out before skimming.
The disadvantage here is it will be difficult for plasterer to get float around/between pipes to leave a smooth finish.
B) Skim 1st then cutout from other side of the stud wall.
The disadvantage here is I would have to wait for plaster to go off before I could cut out from the other side. Only then would I be able to plasterboard this side and skim.
Hope I've explained this correctly? Which is the correct way to do this?
Thanks
