Kitten Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Why now route out grooves in the walls/floors for the wiring and run them that way? That's how I'm wiring my MHM and my Newport... As long as the floors/walls are thick enough (ie, 3/8 plywood) it shouldn't be a problem to do it that way. You can have the wires come from the underside of the house and that way they won't be seen. Oh...and congrats on getting the Queen Ann!

kathi17 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Also, look for molding which is routed out for wiring, and use "tin" ceilings in some of the rooms, that should cut down on routing, especially along baseboards and the tops of walls.
