Ade, for lots of sockets in a small space I use the distribution strips used in server cabinets. (Not to be confused with the 4 way rubber domestic ones).

Ade, for the square holes in plaster board, after marking off, I would just drill say 20mm hole with spade bit then small pad saw is neat and quick and only a couple of quid too :thumbup:
Cheers Mick
David Jupp:
Plastic 3 compartment trunking isn't cheap, but does make the wiring of sockets (and subsequent alterations) very simple. You can also run phone and Ethernet cables inside. just a thought.
AdeV:
Thanks for all the suggestions chaps :thumbup:
I have a padsaw, and the multi-tool, and the air-powered reciprocating saw (like a jigsaw really, only shorter) for the plasterboard. So that won't be a problem.
For the OSB, drill and jig-saw or the air saw should be fine. The air saw is a bit slower than the jig saw having finer teeth, but I reckon that could be solved by sticking a jigsaw blade in it ;)
Andrew- i already have a few strips like that, a couple of 12-ways and at least one 10-way... but they're ugly and stick 2" out from the wall (before plugs). I'd like this place to look a bit classy at least, so I'll be going with flat double-gang sockets & lots of them. Possibly in black Nickel finish :D I don't mind spending some extra time cutting holes, and I think the end result will be worth the hassle.

merry Christmas and a Relaxed New Year ! :beer:
For rockwool- tie the damn stuff there with bailer band (polypropylene string very strong and available in vast lengths cheaply via your local farmers supplier. ) Drop it from the top of the office into the cavity and tie to the uprights with bailer band. Don't forget the Tyvak undergarments mind you or the itch will surely get you. Oh and wash your hands before dashing outside for a leak . :bugeye:
Ps whilst up there might be an idea to lay and staple some thick polythene sheeting over all that OSB and joists just in case of water leaks ?
Have fun
Ian
