I need to build a small plasterboard box to enclose the extractor pipe in the picture below.
What is the correct way to do this i.e. what pieces of wood go where, etc? And what is the correct size of wood, and type of wood, to use?
I was thinking the following:-
1. One piece of plywood attached to facing wall, pitched at required height of plasterboard box (i.e. red line)
2. Second piece of plywood onto floor, at depth to allow plasterboard box to come out from wall the required distance (green line)
3. Third piece of plywood attached to where two pieces of plasterboard will join.
Is it best to nail the wood in (to plasterboard wall (1), floor (2), and plasterboard (3) or screw it in?
Finally, what is best tool to use to cut the carpet along where the green line is?
