Doing up the box room. It has an air brick on the outside and an old knackered vent cover on the inside which I've removed.
The hole is 250x160mm but all the covers on the market seem to be 229x152. Do I keep hunting for a bigger one, say fuck it and just brick it up, or do I somehow shim it so I can fit a smaller cover?
I guess I could chase out around it, then fix a piece of plasterboard with a smaller hole cut out of it, make good and fit a smaller cover to that? Seems like a bunch of work I'd really rather not do.
It's solid walls on the corner of the house, so could get chilly in winter - maybe keeping some ventilation is a good idea.
