Power Cord Safety Idea.
Biting power cords is something all
house bunnies (of the western world) will do ONCE! In
Australia (240Volts) through bunny’s teeth will stop them growing, and stop
him growing too. I live in a
lowly rental property and cannot preform major renovations, like installing a
safety-switch, moving power points or running conduct around the skirting
boards to keep cords out of bunny’s way. I have produced a cheap alternative to
moving... it should work in most parts of the world, have a look below. N.B Excuse the 70S’ looking “digs”.. |

It is a piece of PVC pipe cut in half length ways, to form 2
covers. Once cut is half, (By the man at hardware store) use snips to “check-out” an area for
the skirting boards, if you have them. When the piece fits nicely to the wall, use a 20 mm or 8” nail to
pin it in place. There are probably much better ways to attach it, but this way you are only left with a very small hole when you move.. Also I am too tight to buy paint
to match the walls, but that would camouflage the covers well and add
aesthetics’. Total cost Bugger-All, I hope this page is of some use
to you. If you have any ideas you would like to share with me please send them to my email
address Below are a couple
of before and afters pictures, just to drive home the point. |
