Using chimney as cable route?

[elsparko]

all in jest, my friend. think about us poor Scousers. we're all classed as thieving gits.

up here the petrol stations on the southern end of the city have to report you lot and your vehicle registrations to the police so they can search your vehicles

if you have a scouse accent, expect to be searched

I think it is a semi... but i'll see tomorrow. I'll find out from the homeowner how long their fire has been removed for. There will be a smell if next door are still using theirs, even from a few months back.

I've worked in attics before where next doors fire smoke was seeping through the walls. No one knew until we were in rewiring. That all had to be sorted before we could go back in.

I'm hoping they haven't just blocked the chimney just above the fireplace so I cant get up the void.
Surface trunking might be my (their) only option.

i worked in a loft space in a fish factory that had a wood burning stove exhausted into the loft space, there was a vent in the roof where i could cool down at lol spent most of my day there the heat was unreal

had a decent respirator on but i assume i needed an oxygen tank in reality

I have noticed this forum loves the Scots.
Another good thread that’s ended up about the Scottish or about alcohol.

if the guy isnt even going to physically play the violin (poofters guitar) he could have gotten a smaller one

Been to look at the job today. Straightforward.
Theres a single socket on the RFC about 300mm from the right hand side of the chimney breast. (that's 1 foot for the elders amongst you)
Chisel out a channel horizontally and change the socket to a SFU.
Drill from fireplace out to meet the channel. Fit 2 double sockets on pattresses inside the fireplace. (could be 3 doubles now, looking at everything they have under the telly just now. Sky box, bluray, firestick, speakers)

The TV they have has a removable mains lead with the figure 8 socket.
Is it possible to run this along with the AV through the same pipe into the chimney void rather than installing a single socket behind the TV?
