Recently repainted several rooms in my house, the family room being one of them. Had I thought it through better, before I painted I would've cut into the drywall and fished the electrical to put a power outlet in the wall above the fireplace, so when I go to hang the TV, I wouldn't have to see power cords. But, I didn't plan like that, and now I want to hang the TV and not see a power cord but I don't want to have to fix drywall & repaint.
So here's my thinking.. Directly behind the wall where my TV will hang is a large recessed space in my kitchen where a 55gal fish tank sits in the wall. Inside the recessed space behind the fish tank is a 4 outlet receptacle on a 30A breaker. So the only thing between where the TV will hang and the inside of that space is about 6 inches (drywall, framing, drywall). I'm thinking why not just drill about a 2" dia hole in the drywall behind the TV, then same thing straight trough the drywall behind the fish tank close to the power outlet. Then I just run the TV power cord through the wall and into the 4 outlet receptacle behind the fish tank. Was hoping to find some kind of grommet I can put around the holes in the walls just to give it a better look (even though everything is pretty hidden)
Honestly, I know this isn't the most conventional approach, but it does seems like the most effective solution. I welcome all input and constructive feedback!
