Hello all
My challenge is as follows:
- I need (no alternative) to take a 32mm plastic pipe over a distance of 2 metres through a number of joists.
- I'll drill them in the middle and top and bottom strengthen with steel supports
- I'll bend the pipe in to the first hole such that I can position it in
Questions:
- anyone done this before - am I aware of the building regs issue in going thru joists
- I can't work out how to drill the holes given the joists are 40cm apart and my drill won't fit!
- Would I be better notching the top by 3 cm (25cm joists) and giving up any 'fall' in the pipe gradient and letting gravity push the water out!
All help / advice welcome!
