    I think I’ll try the hole saw. If it doesn’t get anywhere, I’ll chop a section out. Put a small plastic section in with a tee, then connect the 40mm waste to that.

    Sistering a joist - how to fix to wall

    Hi all, We want to add a bathroom upstairs where there wasn't one before. As well as moving the hot water cylinder up there. I had a structural engineer round to work things out. If we just want the bathroom, no strengthening is required. If we want the bathroom and the cylinder, we need to...
