Okay,
So im staying in my gran’s old home, now for some or other reason the old people did not believe in an excess amount of power points,
Now im going to star renovating the house in the coming months, and the 1st thing i want to do is install 5 new power points throughout the house (currently have 4), does anybody know what the costs for this wil be round about?, will the technician be able to drill or cute the new lines into the walls for the power lines?, is there a more simple way of doing it?
Does anybody perhaps someone in the Pretoria area they can recommend?
nb, it goes without saying its a brick house
Edit
On a side note,
I have 1 plug in the kitchen, 1 plug in my room, 1 plug in my grans old room, and 1 in the living room, in my room alone, im using a amplifier, a computer, a server, a active amplifier, the plasma, 2 phone chargers, a router + a switch, a DVD player and a media player, obviously i cannot connect everything at a time, but i don’t think it can be healthy for all these devices to be on 1 power outlet, connected to a multiple, connected to another multiplug,
When my ex was still staying here, it was her hair dryer and straightener as well.
Besides the fact that i think it can’t be good, it looks absolutely horrible, the plug is in the one side of the room, and most stuff on the other side, so i had to put in an extension cable running around the room.
The kitchen i have a kettle, microware, toaster, snack witch machine, snack witch presser, slow cooker, and losts of other stuff, (don’t forget the fridge), so each time i have to unplug the fridge if i want to make coffee....i did install a build in multiplug on that outlet, so luckily the fridge can run permanently now.... i honestly cannot see how they managed to life like this....
