I just bought a 100 year old row house which was retrofitted with forced hot water baseboard heat a few years ago. Most ceilings have dropped ceilings about 6" below the plaster ceilings. Most of the plaster ceilings are in good shape and I wanted to restore them.
The problem is, the contractor that installed the heating system placed the pipes, in 2 locations, right between the drop ceiling and plaster. Therefore I need to relocate them above and inside the plaster ceiling.
Is there some type of flexible copper, plastic, etc. material of piping that I can use for this application? I would like to avoid having to knock out a whole bay in between 2 joists to fit a copper pipe.
Also what is the best way to cut the plaster? I was thinking to invest in a rotozip tool. Any suggestions? thanks!
