Am electrician and live in a double-wide so I haven’t tinkered with it beyond swapping some devices. Feels good to be able to just do stuff like this, as simple as it is. I was not raised to be very handy so learning all this has been a deliberate process.

Uh, this doesn’t count as a legal, professional consultation and you should always seek a licensed professional when it comes to electricity in your home.

    Good job, I have no training so am currently running a long ethernet cable across my landing from my living room (where the fibre cable runs in) over to my office. When I “eventually” decorate I’ll pin it properly along the skirting at least

      What kind of access do you have underneath? Crawlspace?

      Drill a hole at both ends and pull it up through. Fill hole with clear silicone caulk. Be prepared to smell like vinegar.

        Haha! This is on the first floor, so it’s a level up. Between my living room and office is the shared bathroom and second bedroom, so whilst I’m no expert at all I do think it’s better to run it externally rather than drill any holes
