I had 3 x 180mm holes drilled, about the same length. IIRC it was about £250. Whatever size you think you need drilled add 10mm, then foam the gaps after fitting the pipe. Don't ask why I know.

It was this bit in brackets that caused my response. Was it the secret police resistance to these or the German population? 🙂

You imply the US have strict privacy laws. You are kidding aren't you? They have the worst regulations related to privacy in the developed world.

The above item includes a link to the hot knife I bought. Not sure if still available

some pics and a video

Just thought I'd update what happened It's old wood from a dismantled railway viaduct

I got a hot knife which a blade you could bend to suitable shape, then cut channels for round conduit through which the wires were then fed. I'll be back with a link

Put some PIR in the gap. Then plaster board and plaster. If you want you could use the insulated board instead of plaster board, but then you'd be looking to run it all way along that L shaped wall at the top to maintain the same thickness (and a flat surface to plaster on). Might get expensive. You could use that insulated board for the reveals as well, if there's room. Good rawlplugs (or similar) will hold a roller blind. Usually you have the option to screw the brackets to the top reveal or the side reveals

I've got a job for you 🙂

Following the EE route, and so far so good, although they still want to lop more stuff off tree than I have already done. But, the key thing, they are not going to charge me for this, so I will let them get on with it. Spoke to these guys. Very helpful, but as there is already fiber in the lane, they said it would be better to just go with a "normal broadband provider" (their actual words 🙂 )

The granite setts would be installed on your land, so knowing where this starts would be well worth knowing. You can have this installed, or install in yourself on your land. Are you set (no pun intended) on having this architectural feature? I don't think it would stop building control signoff if it was not there. The dilemma is whether to go to the council to confirm the boundary which may raise questions with the PP/BC, or just making a reasonable estimate about where council section comes to. Are there any other properties on the lane that may indicate where a reasonable line might be between the council and private land.

Don't be too afraid. Photograph what you are going to replace, particularly connections. Turn everything off, then check nothing is live. Replace the cable. Replace the connector. Make the connections (refer ro earlier photos) Tighten and tug test. Apply volts. You got this

If you are replacing the damaged contactor (bad screw) - you're doing that! - then replace the whole T&E at the same time. IMHO
