indicating wall locations with tape
so in my house (built 1955), a wall in the living room does not have a
grounded outlet and i need one there so i want to run an extension cord/plug up from the basement. in the basement, above the drop ceilings, there is a long piece of masking tape (ancient and unmarked) that runs right about where i have roughly measured the wall on the floor above it to be. is it customary to mark the location of a wall of the floor above with tape? thanks everyone. |

Running extension cords through walls and floors is a no-no, for good reason. If it starts a fire, your insurance company will likely decline to cover the damage. If you need a new or upgraded outlet on that wall, install one, or pay a an electrician to do it properly if you don't know how. Sound like good access from basement, so it shouldn't be a big deal. aem sends.... |
