    chasing concrete walls.

    I recently bought a house. I start to first fix and realise it has concrete walls which are a struggle so I decided I am going to clip direct and board the walls. But is there an easy way to chase concrete walls.

    Cable Chasing

    Hi All A few question from the learner. Does cable have to be a certain depth in the wall? Does it have to be in trunk/conduit? Does it have to run only horizontal and vertical? (diagonal??) How do you fix the oval trunk to the wall before the plasterer does the finish. Thanks SKY
