I need to run several cables from my internal garage into my loft,
but I don't wish to run them up the outside of the house. The
problem is running them through a first floor dividing wall that is
made from two pieces of plasterboard that has an egg box type
construction between them. How does an electrician get over this
problem when wiring in wall switches?
When in doubt rip it out...

Just remove a section of plasterboard from top to bottom, gouge out
the honeycomb to make a channel, and stick the plasterboard - or a
new piece - back. Skim, sand and paint.

I've tried all the other ways and they take longer in the end.

I do this almost EVERY time I have to install ANY thing electrical
here..stud and plasterboard..

Hope nobody slams a door too hard.... )


All the time.
