Thanks for this video , don't know anyone else showing these very common problems.

Thank you, I really appreciate it.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your skills. You make it look easy but I know how difficult these "straightforward" jobs can be in real life.

Thank you. You're right. Nothing straightforward about working with Lath and Plaster and floorboards. It will always give you a bit of a battle. The only reason it might look straight forward is, I can edit and fast forward.🙂

Don't ever want to own a lath and plaster house. Sheesh! Thanks!

Another very good video. Noted the link at the end to the other Video that created the 2-Gang hole in the Lath & Plaster, but maybe also add an additional Link in the Text Area below the video, i.e. added below the "How you get your cable through the sole plate and floor boards, into the lath and plaster wall" text. Also vice versa for the other video. To better link related Videos together. Only comment I'd make, and I may have missed it all in the video, but I think at one stage at 4:27 the wood drill bit made a hole through a floorboard. I thought it may have been better to remove that floorboard and take a notch out of the end rather just create a hole in the floorboard with the cable running through the floorboard? My thinking being someone else may need to later remove that floorboard, but it would not then want to come out if it has a cable running through the end of it hidden under the skirting board. Apologies if I missed a workaround to that, I noted later you did use a Multitool to take out a notch, so it may have been covered.

Thats a good point Keith, re drilling through the floor board. Sometimes though the board can extend a long way into the other room, so you would need to remove all the furniture and flooring in that room also to be able to pull the board out.. and if its got an engineered wood floor thats not possible. As you can only cut to the skirting, sometime yo have to go through the floorboard. Notching would be preferable though.. Apologies got the name wrong ... Corrected
