U wot mate? Like this?
metal capping. plumber drilled through with masonry bit, cos it's a brick wall innit, shaved the red only, RCD failed to work (check 'em folks), plumber knew nothing until he stuffed a bit of 15mm copper tube into the hole and got thrown across the room.
Got to love a good vertical cable run from an outlet. metal capping. plumber drilled through with masonry bit, cos it's a brick wall innit, shaved the red only, RCD failed to work (check 'em folks), plumber knew nothing until he stuffed a bit of 15mm copper tube into the hole and got thrown across the room.

k would he start!?It's not just this thread, in fact most on here are full of s
t.Don't get me wrong, I've been in construction for 33 years and I've picked up/learnt from others on here, but some should really keep stum.
Even the quote (sorry Attak
) about chasing the wall effecting the structure of the wall, in theory maybe but in all the years I've been ripping properties apart I cannot recount seeing any hint of structural problems, not even hairline cracks.Saying that, I'd rather not chase walls, especially in the likes of thermalites.
Some of you on here assume that undertaking your own project qualifies
you to state the rights and wrongs of the building industry, it takes a bit more than that.

Do not chase blockwork, it has structural implications
You can't have built many/any houses ever then.

There are more but I cant be bothered to list them all out.
You can quote all the "BS" you like but lots of blockwork is chased into in builds every day of the week and if done correctly it wont be compromising the structure to any noticable degree.
I have had 6 CML sign offs just his week by NHBC. All have has some blockwork chased out and all been inspected periodically.
Try actually workimg on a building site rather than taking your "BS" out of a book.
