haha, no, they are on 4 different ccts, so he's gt 4 different switches.

i've had a word with the joiner and he says im ok to knock the noggins out for these two spot lights. and he'll set them in again. These spot lights have a type F on them. The building will be inspected by the council on completion. I'd rather be 100% sure, than have plenty of doubt. The...

these joists do not hold up the floor above and he has put noggins inbetween the joists. ..so is it okay to knock the noggins out of the way? Is it ok to cut these out at all to get the 50mm away from the spot lights. Yes they are fire rated. sorry about the confusion.

I'll be drilling into a lot of brick and plasterboard and chasing walls, etc. An SDS drill is what im looking at and cordless as i'll be up ladders a lot and makes my job easier

Time for myself to invest in a drill, as i have work until Xmas time and it should pay for itself eventually. Im looking at Dewalt, as they seem the best brand for my price range of

the hole cutting through the joist for a spot light is definately a potenial hazard for residents as the joists are an intergral part of the structure. which will weaken that area and may become a stress point for the upstairs floor to collapse if a load is applied. i think you can get the beam...
