Well I have just watched the Tinsley towers not come down (search youtube for Tinsley and then sort by date added)
You cannot make a bigger mess of things than that. Dust everywhere and the North tower is still standing. I can see being late for work on Tuesday as the M1 will be shut.
Drilling holes of a sufficient size in 'live' plaster is likely to end up with holes of rather more than sufficient size. ;-) And you'd need lots due to the joists. And filling them in so they don't show pretty time consuming.
I guess I've not seen your plaster, so its hard to know from here. Usually the plaster is still in a few large pieces, so is mostly ok, its just coming away from the joists. I'm assuming you'd prop the ceiling before drilling it (2x1s), and if a few holes break out its not a biggie.
Sure. But a sharp drill through plaster is like a knife through butter.
Holes on a 2' matrix... quicker than the alternative I'd have though, but ymmv - I'm no plasterer.
With no fancy coving you've got less to lose by ripping it down than most L&P ceilings, so its just which is quicker.
It makes the journey more pleasant than driving some buzzbox, and I could always drive around the area, but then all the other displaced drivers will do so as well. I can't recall 4x4 being helpful in overcoming congestion, nor do I ever recall claiming that it did.
