I'm at home on a kinda furlough waiting on next class date and doing all these tasks that somehow keep appearing(I'm married with a 1.5 year old).
My mission today is to do something with this Coaxl cable sticking some 3 feet out of the wall. I cut a whole in the wall to find there is no box or cavity to shove that mess back in. Any suggestions?
Hopefully you didn’t go crazy and cut a huge hole that you’ll then need to patch.
You just need to buy a single gang new work box. Then just a coax face plate to match the rest. Push the coax through the back of the new work, then secure the box into the opening. Screw the coax into the back of the coax plate. Done and done. 15 minute job if you take a break for a beer.
