Electric Outlet Secret Compartment
This project is fun to do and it makes use of dead electrical boxes. The only thing you need is a screw driver in most cases.
Find a Dead Outlet
I had this tv cable outlet behind some furniture and I decided to use it for this project. Be careful and make sure if you are using a electric out let and you are unwiring it that you make sure the breaker is off or its dead/ not in use.
Unscrew the Cover
Unscrew the cover and take a look at the situation.
Deal With the Wires
I had just the one wire so I just pushed it into the hole in the back of the receptacle
Adding Back the Cover and Making It Hinge
The easiest way to do this is to take out one screw and leave one partially backed out to act as a hinge.
And Your Done!
I had a lot of fun going around my house and finding outlets and you will too. What would you put in your new secret compartment, tell me in the comments.
