1st floor flat in an Edwardian House with cornice on the ceiling, wants 4 wall lights.
Normal method (for me) is to chase wall up to near where the cornice starts (about 6" from ceiling line) then use a 15mm x 300mm SDS bit without the SDS action to break a route up to the ceiling line.
Then use a 10mm x 300mm HSS drill to get through the beam / rafter that inevitably sits in the way between the ceiling line and breaking through to the loft. All the walls are internal rather than external.
Would I be better off taking the drill through at 15-20 degs and trying to come through to the loft on the other side of the beam / rafter?
If I'm being a numpty, then please offer your method of doing the cable route.
