Hoo mooved that 'kin' joist then, eh? Who?

[ToughButterCup]

Phhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

 

 

Lets look at the good bits:

• I measured carefully
• I made a plan
• I got SWMBO to check my plans
• the plasterer kindly tied string to loops of wire (his suggestion)
• I stuck to the plan
• I marked out the ceiling to the mm with string and 
• I bought those Bosch (natch) hole saws - the ones that eject the cut out ; bit like using a pump action shotgun innit
• I used a DADE (thanks for the tip   @Mr Punter) - my armpits are not longer full of plaster dust
• I said my prayers this morning like mummy told me

 

And still I screw up. 16 holes to cut and I still screw up.  Twice. 

 

They're going to have to put me in a home. Well, my surname is Simpson.

Is it a colander ceiling you are doing?

Just chisel the wood away, it will be ok?

I think these are I joists, so a no-no.

I was joking, should have put laughing face I suppose. Ian wouldn't cut his joists away, would he?

My electrician did exactly the same in our bathroom.

You will need Puff the Magic Dragon with his Ceiling Wax to get that lot back..

I would have bluffed it and started a thread titled "Survey for Death Watch Beetle proves negative".
