OT because this is work not play ...
I am designing a parget to liven up a deep dark light well. Up the sides of this light well run various waste pipes and drainage pipes. Some of them run the whole height, some come out of the wall and go down, some come out of the wall and go up
I am wondering if these pipes could be boxed in and rendered over to give me a simpler surface to desgn on to, but I am slightly dubious about this idea, what happens if the pipes need changing later on and how much access needs to be allowed - would a gap at top and bottom be enough so new pipe could be fed in? I really dont want some plumber ripping holes in my parget in 20 years time. I dont remember ever seeing boxed in pipework like I am imagining, but then I suppose I wouldnt ...
Is the idea feasible or should I go back to trying to design around the pipes :-(
