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. |
