Would it be easier to drill a hole through the wall (it's the original external wall) or the corner of the pvc?

Thanks :)

Hi all

Hope some one can give me some good advice here.

I removed a double socket from my kitchen. Like a fool a took the advice of someone and just connected the 3 wires to a chop block, tapped it up, block the the wall hole up and then plastered over it. All was good until I drilled through the cable :tool:
