Ok here is the scenerio. I have outdoor christmas lights hooked up to a outdoor cord. My house does not have a outdoor outlet so I have an adapter hooking the outdoor to the indoor then through the front door and plugging it into the living room leaving the indoor plug subjectable to the elements. I solved that by wrapping a paper bag over that part. I feel deep down that I am being stupid but Im not one to trust my instincts and I know squat about electricity. Not looking for a lesson more of the percentage of death and destruction.

Hire an electrician to install an outdoor outlet, it will save the hassles in the future, and you could easily trip over the cord going through the door and die when your head hits the cement

I can only guess that your indoor plugin is a three wire, grounded outlet.
As long as you have all the cords & connections that are exposed to the elements done with outdoor cords, you should be fine.
I wouldn't use paper to cover the connection between cords.
If I was going to wrap it, I would use something waterproof, like saran wrap, or a walmart bag. then secure it with electrical tape.

i think of your appropriate wager is going to pass on your interior of reach safeguard, tell them your concern and ask for his or her help. See in the event that they have any further foster properties that a number of your canines can stay with until you may get returned on your ft. this is a huge ordeal and that i'm very pleased which you probably did no longer lose every physique. i think of a pair canines and the smaller animals could be ok in the apartment, the 6 canines could be the undertaking. If no safeguard may assist you to, ask acquaintances in the event that they might take some canines, or maybe permit you reside with them. I desire you the ideal of luck!

I would use a little bit of electrical tape followed by saran wrap. Electrical tape is sold at Wal*Mart for cheap, AND it is SUPPOSED to be used for this, saran wrap is just to help keep the water an extra barrier away...
