QUOTE(ar188 @ Jul 20 2013, 04:02 PM) why not, most double socket in the wall also come from 1 set of wire.. really? the actual way to do it is have to connect the wire all the way from the box there right? |

QUOTE(zeist @ Jul 20 2013, 05:28 PM) If you got wirings, open exisiting cover and follow. lol whr got so cheap? last time i remember i extend socket also rm140 for 2..but quite far la, around 3 meters away, but he also use same wire only i thinkYou need to hack/drill also anyway. Just let them do for RM30. Wiring need to buy calculate based on per meter. i just attach the socket beside the existing socket,wiring 1 meter is more than enuf dy right? XD |

QUOTE(lucifah @ Jul 20 2013, 05:33 PM) no need hack la. just buy a surface mounted box and drill it into the wall so is no problem la? is that how all the extensions work? the one like disrm30? LOL. materials alone will cost half of that liao. they'll charge you rm 80 if they are kind.  QUOTE(Haters_Gonna_H8 @ Jul 20 2013, 05:36 PM)  u didnt learn anything from Kemahiran Hidup?  |
