the PERFECT hiding spot.

ok guys, i really appalogize, i know im a spam whore but fuck it. so ive been lookin around my room for the perfect hiding spot. and i think i found it.

i have electrical outlets that have boxes around them. (see the pic) i unscrewed the thing, took out the actual electrical input itself. theres 3 cords behind it. black, copper, and white. if i cut those cors, take the box out, amd glue the face plate thing to the place i could just screw it back on and it would look like an outlet.

the only thing is i got shocked when i touched it. and im afraid i might start some kind of electrical fire or something cutting those cords. if anyone knows anything about this please help. heres a pic


peace guys.

ok to clear things up a bit, i would de-tatch the bage part, the thing where you would normally plug shit into, from the little black box behidn it. i would cut the cords attachting the little black box to the wall, and glue the bage thing to the face plate then screw it back on and i have a little box on the wall that looks like an imput. and a big cardboard box with legos will be moved infront of it. but yea about teh electricial thing, thats my real question. thanks in advance.

VERY VERY IMPORTANT.

Cut the breaker off in that area before you do any work.

Okay just cut the cords with a solid hard based wire cutter and with plastic or rubber handles. Make sure you are wearing gloves.

After cutting the wires buy electrical wire caps and cap the live wire off. Turn the breaker back on and you'll be done.

Just be sure to cut the breaker off otherwise you will experiences shocks , electrocutions, burns, and/or death.

ok.. for one, this is really stupid. Just cut open your matress or something dude.. BUT, if you must do this, I will try to help.

First, wait until you have the house to yourself for a few hours. Cut off the power to the outlet you'll be working on. Now, pull out the outlet and cut all the cords that are attached. Take electrical tape and wrap a LOT of it around the ends. These will be live and will shock the fuck out of you if you touch them. Stuff those wires as far back as you can and tape them down if possible, so they don't pop back out and possibly shock you. Turn the power back on, and presto. The "Pefect" Hiding Spot.

These links aren't what you are doing but they will help you in the steps to not electrocuting yourself.

the breaker isn't in your room

You know where the power supply..when the power goes out because your pulling too much energy and you have to go flip the switch to make the power come back on?

The Fuse Box?

Any of those ring a bell?

And yeah electrical is nothing to take lightly. If you don't know what your doing make sure you read up. Just wear rubber gloves and cut the power off and you'll be safe.
