Irregular ceiling.

[angster]

Hello,
i live in an old stone house. I want to box in the electrical fuse boxes etc. which are now bare in our entrance hallway. Photo enclosed. It will need a door to permit access to fuse boxes. My main question is how do I transfer the irregular ceiling line to my cutting plans?

Also, will I need perforated board or metal in my door for ventilation. Like that in a radiator enclosure?
Thank you in advance,
angster

Just use cardboard to make a template and no you don't need to vent it

If this was me I'd get that historic mess updated first and then box it in.

yehbut .. all that emulsion on the wiring will soak up moisture in the air and provide an extra path back to earth "somehow"

Thats a old wire fuse arrangement thats been extended a number of times.get it brought up to date for safety and the final job will be much smaller (all in one box fuses +rcds) so it will be less work to box in and look nicer.
