I'm gonna estimate it took you a stack of a dozen washers to make up that gap
Them circular pattress jobbies you get for fitting pendants on mini trunking jobs were the perfect fit.

Here is one for you all....
Company owner and head spark says "drill here, I've marked it up for you for the 2 x SWA to the outside...... chop chop, time is pushing on so just do it". SO I DID.... 2 x 25mm holes,,, but I cant see day light????? Strange, lets have a look where my drill bit has ended up....... ONLY IN THE CONTROL ROOM OF A POLICE STATION!!!!! Now that took a bit of explaining :rofl:
S**t happens, it how you deal with it that counts.
I know of a spark locally who liked to wire things through wall cavities. He hadn't quite realised that the party wall on a semi was solid and didn't have a cavity.
The neighbours were impressed with the new bit of White T&E running down the wall
Haha that's brilliant. I don't mind going through anything that can be easily be re-plastered or otherwise sorted (like door frames) but water it a ****er. Not done it yet but I am sure the day will come. My mate drilled through some buried central heating pipes that he had plumbed in himself! what a plonka. Does anyone have an emergency plan for hitting a water pipe? I have a cycle inner tube in the door pocket of the van, they can be stretched round a leak and work amazingly well in an emergency, although only tested at home.......I was clipping a bit of 2.5 twin along a wall under a desk when one of the clips flew across the room followed by a stream of water. It turns out the room used to be a bathroom and there was an old unused but still live lead water main buried just under the plaster'

I always make a point of finding out where the stopcock is now before getting the SDS out.I was cards in with a local building company with every trade on the company. So I turned the stopcock off and just phoned the office and asked for a plumber, then the painters were sent out to fix the mess.
