Well, with your help, and a good demonstration on how to fit a socket etc ………. You have saved me money 💰 thanks so much. By the way it was as easy as pie 👍🏻 cheers 🥂
Braver chap than me, doing single-handed grinding! Had a fight with one of them once and defo don’t recommend it. Glad i’m not the only one to forget plugging stuff in.
I've had plenty of practice using the grinder but I suppose for demonstrating purposes I should have used two hands. Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe 👍🏼
Had a 230mm grinder slip out of my hand while doing overhead tracing and it went for my leg. I was lucky because I was wearing a pair of working pants that stopped the blade
Very good. The only thing I would suggest is, if you rig up a little clip on fixing to the guard of the angle grinder to take the nozzle of a hoover you would collect MOST of the dust while you are using it. Saves a lot of time cleaning up afterwards. Kindest Regards Terry O'Connor

Good video dude. What I will say to people who are going to give this a go, is when you come to drilling into the coving, you are going to pop up underneath the floorboards upstairs, so 100% MAKE SURE you lift those floorboards first to check that your not about to put your drill bit through some water pipes or other cables :) All the best.

@@jamesstorm584Are you one of those perpetually outraged snowflakes who forgot what it's like to have a bit of fun? Even the guy in the video thought my comment was amusing so piss off and get a life!
Thanks for that mate. What do you do if you go too deep. Like using a 45mm back box but it needs to sit 10mm out from the wall after plaster has been applied. Dummy fix 😢😢😢 Thank you kindly. ✌️🙏✌️
Does the battery angle grinder work well for all chasing in a rewire ? Does the battery last and will it cut into the brick as well as the plaster? I use a 850w 230v one but would love to use a cordless if it works
+robert swingler the battery angle grinder works great for me, with a diamond blade it cuts bricks with ease. It does however use a lot of power so having a couple of high ampage batteries spare does help when doing a lot of chases! Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Recently got a dust extraction housing for the Bosch grinder - also, it lets you fit 125mm disk instead of 125mm. Not cheap but a game changer regarding dust. I always use conduit. Helps with later modifications and very useful for satellite and ethernet cable - our Zoom always rock solid in lockdown due to not relying on Wifi. 35mm boxes help satellite and ethernet cables bend smoother and gives more wiggle room for mains wires. Jealous of that long drill bit. Might have to get one for a job at home.
john bragg it's a great little trick to get behind the coving. I picked this up from a great sparky friend of mine. Thanks for watching and be sure to like share and subscribe to help the channel grow 👍🏼
Hi mate thanks for the video! Got a good price on my sparky because I agreed to do all the chasing so this helped loads!! Quick question: plastering... looks like you’re leaving it flush and you mentioned the wall is to be skimmed - will that affect what face plate you can put on? Also, you made the effort to preserve the coving but what happens when you skim? Will you blend into the coving to keep the same profile? Thanks!
Jack D the 2 coats of plaster will be about 4-6mm thick so the backbox can either be flush or stick out 4-6mm but your plasterer will prefer flush so it's easier for him. There is a big step on our coving so the 4-6mm of plaster didn't matter but a plasterer might feather the skim so the coving step isn't lost. Thanks for watching and be sure to like, share and subscribe to help the channel out 👍🏼
Surface mount is fine for data. Keep data and electrics 6" apart if needing to run parallel. Will be less if data and electrical cable are shielded. Most electrical cable is unsheilded but shielded data can be purchased from most hardware stores. If running across (i.e. perpendicular) this is fine.
John Grannan Thanks for your comment! I could have hired a wall chaser with dust extraction but the main aim is to do jobs to save money. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
@@spendtimesavemoneydiy So could you tell us what make of angle grinder you used. and the price of it and where to buy one please? It looked a nifty bit of kit.
I used to instal cable tv , often under floor cables were neater, and most extra sockets I think will run that way too, drilling down rather than up. I used a masonry bit to drill any floorboards, no sharp edges, so if you hit a pipe you weren't aware of or most things under there, you won't damage them because you'll feel them long before doing any damage. Just remember that bit will get hot using it on wood, so be careful where you put it until it cools.
Great great vid. Good to hear the scouse accent as well now i want to spur off two sockets in my bedroom but as it's upstairs do I have to feed the cable through the loft joists Also do you have a website where you do general questions and answers. Thanks!!!!
Julian Hamilton thanks for your kind comment! The cables to your upstairs sockets probably run under your floor so new cables to spurs can run under the floor too! Just make sure the cables are in the centre of the joists and they run straight up to the socket! Also only one spur per socket 👍🏼 let me know how you get on.
That’s not quite correct advise. Also dont forget that before the new additions can be energised the correct testing and certification needs to be issued legally.
@@AP268 I'm afraid it's no longer a legal requirement as it is no longer notifiable work but it must be said it would be a safety requirement. No offence Skippy, just saying you are correct but not legally.
@@spendtimesavemoneydiyhi there, no worries 👍 yours is the best video I found for this job. I've done mine now, it was a plaster and hollow-brick wall so I chiseled it easy enough. Bit tricky to place the box because of the hollows in the bricks so I filled some of that in behind the box, now its solid and wired and working so thanks very, very much and I will pass on your excellent channel 👍
@@spendtimesavemoneydiy yeah depends what you're installing but it severely limits the options of anyone else. I'm about to chisel out a deeper back box recess in my kitchen as the builder and electrician collectively only put in a 25mm one for the CCU, recessed by 6mm, which is ridiculous for the installed chunky CCU let alone anything else but for a raised power socket it would be ok. They installed the most raised plates I've ever seen lol
Another house made of paper. How convenient. You could of used a stably knife and a hand chisel to be that out. It even fell out whwn it wasn't plugged in. Let's see you do it with a 30mm back box in brick

how do you chase past the ceiling framing?
Nice work, do you know what the standards are for running data cables like cat5 to an ethernet socket?
Surface mount is fine for data. Keep data and electrics 6" apart if needing to run parallel. Will be less if data and electrical cable are shielded. Most electrical cable is unsheilded but shielded data can be purchased from most hardware stores.
If running across (i.e. perpendicular) this is fine.
If the standard angle grinder creates too much dust you can hire ones with integrated dust covers - better than spending days cleaning up

@@spendtimesavemoneydiy Ok thanks for reply mate,
And whats prote ting the cable behind the coving
The cable runs plumb up the wall from the socket so the zone should protect the cable.

@@spendtimesavemoneydiy, I'm amazed you understood what Mark Keane asked you. I've read his question a few times and still bewildered.
