Or 9" brick. Or measure from halfway between yours and your neighbour's window. Measure from the internal reveal to the wall. Subtract the second from the first & multiply by 2 (assuming that the plaster on the reveal is the same thickness as that on the party wall). -- Hugo Nebula "If no-one on the internet wants a piece of this, just how far from the pack have you strayed"? |
