Electricians Last Resort but Best Friend!
Purchase Date: 19DEC15
Purchase Price: $13.54
Update: 02OCT16 and 23JAN18
While remodeling our bedroom we thought we could mount a TV with stand on a certain wall and hide all the wires with no issues. But...then of course many different issues arose and running the wires in that wall would cost way too much to professionally do and to do it myself well was not worth all the work and headaches. The last alternative was to use Wiremold CMK50 for a neat look. Item is very well packaged and internal dimensions of the Wiremold are 7/8" x 3/8" which can accommodate a good amount of wires. 120 inches = 10 feet total. After reading the reviews and watching YouTube I was hooked.
Make sure to wipe down your wall prior to installation. The adhesive on the Wiremold itself is very strong and once it is set it is not easy to remove.
Measure everything twice and cut once as they say! Have a level tool handy so that you install them straight (having a second person to help is great). After your measurements you can use a hand hacksaw and use a little bit of sand paper if you want to clean the edges after cutting. I purchased a flat plug extension cord for a more sleek and clean look (see pictures). I also switched the wall outlet (180 degrees) so that it would face the correct way for easy connection. Beware: Please shut off homes electrical panel breaker for that room prior to doing this - for safe measure test the outlet after shutting off the breaker with a outlet tester to make sure there is no power running to it. You will be surprised sometimes at how you will shut off the breaker for a certain room but there might be a outlet or two that are still running power because its connected to the room on the opposite side. Taking your time makes the installation a snap.
Already purchased a second order for a couple of other things around the house. (PICTURES ATTACHED)
UPDATE: 02OCT16 No problems with the product or its quality.
UPDATE: 23JAN18 I accidentally hit it with my laundry basket and (sad face) let me tell you...the sticky backing took a chunk out of the paint. Approximately 4" by 4" round. I had to repair my wall, sand, paint, and re-install. Use caution this glue stuff is tough.
