[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 445883, member: 1408"] I've measured them for years . Set out where the lights come in relation to the joists , this usually means some jigging about to make sure they all miss a joist. Check with builder on final finish of walls. Make drawing , give to builder , keep copy. Return when plasterer has gone. The other method I do is measure where the joists sit ( with builder) leave cables in approx. position ....then set it all out & drill after plastering . However , the plumbline & pin method I like the sound of. ( I was caught out once when , unknown to me , a partition wall was taken down & resited ....started drilling at outer wall ...didn't realise till I got to the other end . ) [/QUOTE]
