JesseFrank Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Ok, I've been on the ceiling. The good news is that I don't need any emergency services. The bad news is that there is no frigging way I can reach that location. It is a crawl of about 7-8 meters over electrical tubes in a space about 40 cm high and sloping. I don't know how the electrician who's bigger than me ever got there. So the only solution will be to make a manhole in the patio ceiling just under the box with the receiver. Now I've 2 manholes in the storage rooms made by the ceiling guys and they are an eyesore, especially in a patio. Any suggestions on how to close the hole that it is a not a disturbing sight ?

JesseFrank Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Make a recessed or step down ceiling to the entire portion. I guess that is a bit over the top job just to reach that box once. The aim is to solve the issue as cheap as possible but in a way that it isn't an eyesore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieH Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Reach the box once ? So having created the problem, you are going to repeat it ? Geez What happens if you have to get to it again ? You are going to be exactly where you are now!. You should either move the box to a more accesible place or make the current position more accessible.

Jesse, you've been given heaps of good advice on this thread, time for you to crawl up into the little hole in your ceiling dude and chill out for a while. how hard can it be? glad I didnt have to take you to war son, it would be like working with a 2 watt light bulb. i wish you all the best with your remote control endeavours.....whats next, window cleaning, venturing out to 7/11 without your minder? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkjames Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Ok instead of continuing to bicker let's take a few learnings from this. 1) Don't let foreigners in your house in case you lose your remotes. 2) Don't put in such a high tech system that would be the envy of potential home buyers - who like your remotes but not your house. 3) Certainly - do not start a topic on TV about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are going to be exactly where you are now. Move the box to a more accesible place or make the cureent position more accessible. I have not created a problem, the remotes were nicked, I think that has became obvious enough when I called the guy and from other things. I have to make it more accessible that is what I'm asking about now. My intention is to make a manhole under it, but I will need to close it and eventually be able to open it again in the future, without it being an eyesore. The way the ceiling guys her close such a manhole with a aluminum frame in which a piece of gypsum lays that can be lifted is not acceptable in a location that is always in open view. Moving the box would mean extending all the cables and would involve an electrician. Since the original electrician is not available anymore and I have no idea what other cables are in that box, that is a big no no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JesseFrank Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Guys, it has become clear to me from your remarks in this thread, that I'm the only one here who doesn't know where the remotes are. I have to go out now, so may I suggest that while I'm out and about you drop them in the letterbox. I will switch of the security camera pointing to the letterbox, but keep in mind the high voltage on the walls is still on. In the mean time some suggestions about how to close a manhole in the ceiling in a decent way are also welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverdie Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Okay Jesse, Thanks for the reply, now I understand what the unit is doing in the roof, just wondering why it was placed so far from the man hole. sounds like you are in a tight space indeed. how big is this condo? 23 square metres? You should go and buy a team of gerbils, train them up and get them to run loose in your cavity, they could drag the wires around for you and hook things up, if you trained them right. sound like you need a builder, would you like me to send my uncle som chai around, hes a technician and works cheaply at 200 baht per day. Or is that too expensive for you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkkjames Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 All kidding aside - if it's any consolation Jesse - I face a similar daily dilema in trying to locate all the remotes in my house that my 5 and 2 yr old sons have hidden / misplaced or used to throw at my wife...
