DIY
A place to discuss UK-centric DIY. No sheetrock or drywall.
Wikipedia details DIY as a form of anti-consumerism, ain't that something.
Useful places to learn things: (taking suggestions!)
A UK how-to and forum site. People tend to argue a bit, but a good place to get an idea.
Useful places to buy things:
https://www.toolstation.com https://www.screwfix.com/
Wide range of tools and fixings, shop format is like Argos. Always worth comparing prices between them. Don't sell lumber.
https://diy.com https://www.wickes.co.uk/
B&Q and Wickes. Often more expensive than TS/SF, but carries lumber and garden supplies too.
Wickes deals can bring prices in line with builders merchants.
Watch out with B&Q's website, as they do that thing like amazon, where people sell through them (often overpriced)

Unfortunately the joint is like a meter from the wall so i wouldn't be able to reach through. I was looking up plastic vs copper and as much as the flexibility half the cost wins, I've found some research articles about micro plastics with plastic piping potentially being a long term issue. Fortunately its a straight run so i can just poke a pipe through. I think ill see if i can cut a small section of kitchen flooring and see if i can find the end of the straight section and go from there. Might save me a lot of work
