How do you add extra sockets in the bedroom?
If there is a crawl space under the house the best way is to run the wires under the home in the crawl space. Determine where you want to mount the outlets and find the wall studs. Either cut right next to the wall stud so you can mount a regular outlet box to the side of the stud with drywall screws, or cut between the studs and use a pop-in type outlet box. Measure up from the floor the same distance as the other outlet boxes with the cover removed and cut the hole for the new outlet box the very same height off the floor. Now removed the floor moulding and drill a very small hole right next to the wall directly below and center of the outlet box hole you just cut. Remove the outlet from the box of the one nearest to where you are installing the new one. Drill a hole in the bottom of the box big enough to run the new wire. Repeat the steps to drill a hole next to the wall. Place some sort of piece of wire in each of the holes you have drilled so the person who goes under the floor can see the object. That person will drill a 3/4" hole exactly 2" from the hole toward the wall you are working on. They can then feed a wire up through the hole into the outlet box or you can feed the wire down, whichever is the easiest. Run the wire from outlet to outlet and tie is all together. Repeat this for other outlet boxes. It may be necessary to remove the old outlet box completely and install a new one in order to ever get the new wire in place. Fill the holes you drilled in the floor with wood filler and replace the moulding. If you are working on an interior wall with no insulation it may be just as easy to do all this from the attic.
