Hi all, I'm trying to thread some house pipe down from the loft to the living room in my old (roughly 1890's) house (Improptu conduit to allow me to feed network cable into the living room).
There are no fireplaces in the house and the chimneys on the roof have been capped so I don't have any worries about a future owner mistakenly trying to light a fire (I hope at least).
Anyway, I've drilled a hole and keep trying to thread the hose pipe down, but I think I keep hitting the 1st floor bedroom (have dropped some steel bearings down and heard the thud but not seen them in the living room too).
So, I'm wondering, how does a chimney work in a two storey house that had two fireplaces (living room and master bedroom). Does the chimney split sideways (one side for one room the other side for the other room), or, is it a back and front configuration, or, is it just on big flue?
I've drilled my hole towards the left side of the stack in the loft and I don't want to go drilling extra holes willy nilly but am wondering if I move it far to the right if I would be more likely to make it to the living room.
Hope someone can understand what I'm asking (I think I've phrased it all in a round about manner) and hopefully I'm not asking a really silly question.
Thanks for any answers.
