cut the plug off and then whack another one on after youve passed it through a small hole?

cant help think this is harder work than it should be! im my cupboards i drill out a hole big enough to pass through a plug and then grommet the hole like the attached image. As for the cable issue there isnt a lot you can do about mice eating stuff if thats what happens in your area. Keep it off the ground if possible or wire in a switchless socket behind the fridge up a height and plug it in there? Could maybe keep some cheese on the other side of the room as a distraction.

isnt the spigot upstream of the trap? if so then you'll have the water in the trap to keep the odors out. I dont think water will travel uphill to the spigot but i guess it depends on its position in relation to the water seal. You can get a blanking cap, like this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Blanking-Appliance-Waste-Inlet-Traps/dp/B0FW7R71FG?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=A1Y1LKMP81BDBI

just swivel it so it points upwards?

going to be personal preference on this one i think. Might be time for ChatGPT to mock that up if you have a photo.

I find it strangely satisfying cutting copper pipe with the slice. Also polishing it up with wire wool, brings a smile to my face.

probably ok to just remove it depending on the condition of the joists and their length, being so close to the joist pocket i doubt it would make any difference. If you are worried you could just remove a course of bricks and whack in a concrete lintel from one of the sheds, they are only about £15 for a 900mm one, then pull out all the bricks below. PS, im not a structural engineer.

probably like the polyplumb stuff with a toothed metal retaining ring. Can only really remove them by sliding back over down the pipe or cutting them off.

I rubbed in clear Sika EBT into my raw edges, seems to have worked.

chasing in a stud wall?

Thanks everyone. Probably overkill but it's done, onto the next thing. Happy Sunday to you all.

It does back onto the new bedroom (eventually). I've got plenty of acoustic wool left, so?

Thanks guys, doing the job now. Should I fill up behind it with rockwool while I'm here? There is nothing behind this stud bay, the pipes are further along the wall. Brick wall is internal.

That's the thing, we don't have the vanity yet and I really want to crack on. Wouldn't be a real problem to infill between the studs with ply before I board over, giving me the security that I can drill/attach anywhere along that wall?
