I have a need to cut several holes in my ceiling in order to ascertain how much room there is underneath my existing box gutter inverts to the house frame/ceiling. I've cut holes in the past to install speakers and also repaired holes from damage, but never like this where I've intended replacing the piece of plaster back in the hole. Any tips?
I've got a Ryobi multi tool which I'll try first, also a plaster knife. And some repair plaster. I'll be cutting quite close to the wall so I can see the gutter.
For brief back story, my house roof was built by a shoddy roof plumber and the box gutters need replacing - and will need to go in 'deeper' if that makes sense to get sufficient depth and grade. It's a nightmare. A roof plumber I was going to get to do the job is concerned there's not enough room to do this if the gutter at the lowest point is already sitting on the frame - worse case the roof needs to be raised which is quite nuclear given we've got 40 solar panels. A nightmare honestly but we are where we are.
There is no consumer protection in Victoria for people like me, the VBA asleep at the wheel. But that'snot for this forum.
