Wire Concealment

[hawthorne 0]

My HDB unit is those that comes with concealed wiring. I would like to relocate some tel points in the house, as well as to add some ethernet points. Any one has DIY on hacking into the wall and concealing the wires?

What is the complexity of the job?

will a simple hammer drill be able to do the job?

Can I just slot the wire into the wall and plaster it.. or do I need to house the wires in those PVC pipes etc?

Thanks in advanced

is your current place real wall with concealed wiring or cornice?!

if you want to remove them in a real wall, you have to drill into them slowly, locating your wires or you can just remove the points...

slotting the wire into the wall and plastering them is against HDB ruling... but some had done this before..

Mine is wires concealed in real walls.

assuming I want to go ahead and conceal the wiring, what do I need to do? what do I need also?

let u know first, HDB rule is u cannot do concealed wiring YOURSELF. if by them is ok.

anyway u need an angle grinder with a cutter blade, mask, plaster, hammer, chisel.

haha.. was wondering will HDB do the concealment if you approach them ornot, since it is OK for them to do the concealment but not by ourselves
