Last week I removed a lovely 80s plaster arch.

rear end in a top hat installer/previous owner backfilled the cavity with rubbish and offcuts that fell on me when I opened the wall.

My loungeroom.

Dominated by this bullshit thing.







C shape at the front with the heater, double brick wall leading from it to brick wall on the inside of the room, inside the wall studs.




They loving concreted it into the floor.


Put gas and power into he concrete, both at angles.



I assumed the gas line would exit on the closest edge or at least follow a straight line, it went diagonal, so I hammer drilled through it, a live gas line with sparks coming off the bricks. I was very lucky.

Floor patches.



Today.



I have other stories. Going to go collapse now. Though.

My primary and secondary schools were both like that, as were most of the surrounding housing estates.

Correct me if im wrong. The photos in your link. Did they really use old beer bottles and assorted glass in this stuff?

I guess cleaning under this one isnt such a issue, because the loving maid will do it.
But it would sure as poo poo suck dropping ones keys/phone/pet through them.

So there's no lock to keep someone else from pushing open the flap and watching me drop the deuce???

The flap needs to stay open or you wont be able to get out after without breaking the door/sink.

I'd move the pile of poo poo they have there and simply block the vent.

Get a flashlight and look closer. I bet you do have a box, it's just that it's pushed way in and barely attached to the stud.

Look at whats its attached with though.There cant really be a box.
