time-consuming, but very worthwhile 💡
What happens here
Before or during the construction of a single-layer block wall, it is essential to plan the precise locations for the undercap lighting fixtures and the path the low-voltage wiring will follow. Since a single-layer wall lacks an internal cavity for hidden wiring, the cables must pass directly through the blocks. This step involves marking the specific blocks that will require drilling and ensuring the chosen path avoids structural weaknesses. The workers in the video are installing wiring in a partially constructed wall section, implying this planning has already been completed.
Goal: Determine lighting fixture placement and map out wire routing within the block wall.
Tools and materials
- Marker — Marking drilling points on the blocks
- Measuring Tape — Accurately marking light and wire locations
