Hi
I'm renovating a small upstairs bedroom and replacing the old lath & plaster with plasterboard. In the corner of the room are 2x22mm CH and 1x15mm copper pipes which were previously boxed in.
Due to the room being small I'd like to hide the three pipes in the stud partition.
Does anyone have any advice for drilling thru' the header & footer timbers (4x2")? Presumably 2x 25mm and 1x 18mm holes rather than one long slot?
There's lots of info on putting holes/notches in joists for laying pipework horizontally but I can't find any for doing in opposite direction.. follow the same advice?
Thanks
