I need some help with a problem I have.
We renovated our house a couple of years ago and installed wiring for the alarm system. I drilled a hole for the wire that would go to the out door bell box and fed the wire out.
We have since built a porch below where the wire comes out of the wall. I now need to be able to get to the wire and install a bell box but the porch is in the way.
The porch has a pitched roof with a small area in front of the door (about 1.5m), on the left hand side the garden is at the same level as the porch but on the right hand side there is quite a drop to the garage. The picture below will explain it a lot better.
The easiest option would be to hire a cherry picker but I am looking at around £200 for a job that should take 10 minutes.
I dont think I can reach where the wire is from the window above the porch as it opens the wrong way.
any advice would be greatly appreciated.
