Another annoying error: cut, hide ignore?

[ToughButterCup]

After recently bemoaning the absence of sockets, here's the opposite problem - but caused by the same fundamental error.

Changing plans. Arghhhhh.

 

Looky here ....

 

I'm ashamed almost to post this image: count the errors: shelf not level, tile needing to be cut, loop of spare wire over a kitchen worktop.

On the other hand, I've had a long stint on the Naughty Step  - and chastised myself thoroughly -  for long enough. Every day for a couple of years I've looked at it and winced.

 

Now, please help me dig my way out of this one.

 

The best I can come up with is to tape the spare wire under the stainless steel shelf. But in a kitchen, that's not too clever an idea. It's wired into the same circuit as the kitchen lights, so I can't isolate the circuit at the consumer unit.

 

And there's no way I'll get this through Part P is there.....

 

Please help.

Seems like it was to be for counter lights? If so why not just add a new light and choose something that will take the cable in at the back?

We could start a thread of ‘things which ought to be hidden whilst we ‘think about it’. ‘

 

I think an under shelf light is a good idea tho! Better my first thought of threading it through a hole in the shelf and jug….

Oh this is easy .

Here’s my ceiling ; look at all that shite I’m gonna hide .

 

For you ? Simples ! . Stick an open laptop on the worktop

infront - thank me later 👍

Is the other end of the cable accessible so you can disconnect it?  If so easy, disconnect it and cop it off.

 

What was it there for originally?

Are the tiles or is it the socket out of level

Seeing as none of these replies have quoted or tagged @ToughButterCup I bet they've not been seen yet 😮

Keeps happening to me anyway.
