ATTENTION: In many areas, it is a code violation to put your power cord in your wall as I did in this video. Putting Audio/Video cords in your wall is fine but, for power, adding an extra outlet may be required by code so check out my video on how to do that! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pe6H9sZMkhA

This only works if your house is made of wood… useless in the netherlands, every house here made of bricks
My wall is made with concrete so doing this means i have to destroy my wall
Haha I got an old house with drywall.
I know nothing about electrical stuff. Why can’t you just plug your power cord into a surge protector and call it a day? (After the power cord is run through the wall)
why is that TV mounted so high?
what about bugs in that hole you just opened the door to hell
Ok, I understand that running a TV power cable behind the wall could be a code violation. But what about just coaxial and other audio/video and signal type cables? Thanks.
Two of those and like 5 holes on the dry wall later I can officially call my attempt a failure, THERE WERE STUDS EVERYWHERE!!!
Great job. Thank youuuu
Great job!!
I was exited until I found out my walls are made out of hard cement or some hard shit
Walls in your place are so different from where I’m at. Here we use cement block and concrete. And of course paint…
Beware in California standard framing bays may have horizontal blocking at 4ft.
In UK my houses is made of brick hard enough to get a nail in the wall never mind a hole lol
Bad idea even if the code allows it or if you’re just throwing away HDMI cables. Just think about making life easy for mice/rodents and other creatures to enter behind the drywall.
Oscillating tool with the qbit single gain bit works much better and faster than a utility knife
Haha i can’t cut my wall plz help me cuz, my wall made by bricks….
Wonder if using white plastic shallow rectangler pvc bout 2″ wide would look good running all the wires through it, it would save from having to cut couple holes in wall.
BE ADVISED: While running your HDMI and other A/V cables in the wall is fine, in many areas, putting your power cord in your wall is against code. If that’s the case in your area, please see this video on adding a separate outlet for your TV. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pe6H9sZMkhA
I tryed to do this job naked and my dick got stuck In the bottom part u showed us when flipping plate upward for cords to go in at the bottom end.boy wrong cord dropped in I put baby oil didn’t work Vaseline didn’t work lotion didn’t work Vicks Vapor Rub didn’t work I even tried Preparation H didn’t work.finely I got a picture of Donald trump kissing his tranny wife and my dick got supper limp and got my cock free.build the wall hahaha I don’t give a fuck I’m my family already here
So the tv that high is for the giraffe pets you have?
That’s also a very good spot for spiders, bugs and so on btw!
How did you run your wires to the bottom? Did you just dangle them until you could see them? Great video thank you.
Thanks
Great work thanks for the tip
yes sure and everybody can cut walls with a knife haha
