Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler in-wall wiring HELP!

Spiff, The obvious problem with all the idea going along the basebaord etc. is the openings and sliding glass door between where you are and where you want to go. What is upstairs above the living room? Is there carpet up there and clear space so that you could go up and under wall to wall carpet and back down?

I'm surprised Ray3 hasn't piped in with "Sell the house" -- or some other such nonsense...

You might try contacting the first guy under TV/Audio repair.

B. Villa? Could it be?





nah...guess not, that's only one "L". Bummer.

This may be an expensive option (unless you can do it yourself), but - you could put crown molding in the room - if you find the right crown, it will leave a nice gap btween the wall and the molding. You could then go up the wall, out at the top, run through the molding and then back down through the wall to where you need the cables. It would be a lot of work, but if you're up to doing it yourself you'll only need to go to home depot and get a book on trim, a mitre box, a finishing hammer, a decent handsaw and a tape measure.

You have killed to two birds - you've enhanced the look with a classic trim and it's functional.

I have hardwoods throughout the entire house and know your pain - especially the damn dust bunny hunts I'm constantly on.

Just a thought. Good luck.

Hmmm...that's actually a good idea. I'll look into that.

Doing crown molding as a DIY project can be very painful -- even if your walls and ceiling are perfectly straight and smooth. Those inside coped miters will kill ya!

pmbuko -

that's a great link...thanks.

Ever seen Nahm Abrahms (Norm Abrams to those west of MN) or Tommy Dasilva work crown molding with a coping saw? Artists, I tell ya!

i like to watch 'nahm' on the new yankee workshop.. he builds some pretty awesome stuff.. of course, it is a lot easier when you have a barn with a couple 100 thousand dollars worth of equip. i am in NO way doubting the guy has talent and ability.. i am simply saying, it is understandble he would make awesome pieces of furniture when he has the best tools in the business available to him.
